With Democrats refusing to negotiate in good faith with President Donald Trump on securing the southern border and liberal supporters going on national TV to file their nails amid talk of Americans dying at the hands of those in the country illegally, the stabbing of a Long Island high school student highlights how fundamentally broken our immigration system is.

A 16-year-old student was stabbed after being attacked by three MS-13 members who attend the school, never mind that one of the attackers is 20 years old. Making matters worse, all three gang members had previously been released from custody by federal judges after entering the U.S. illegally.

UPDATE: Police say the three MS-13 members accused of stabbing a teen on Long Island all entered the U.S. illegally https://t.co/kIxtVVsaBq — Eyewitness News (@ABC7NY) January 10, 2019

Ramon Arevalo Lopez, 19, allegedly stabbed the victim in the back, according to ABC affiliate WABC. Lopez, Nobeli Montes Zuniga, 20, and Oscar Canales Molina, 17, were all charged with second-degree assault.

More from WABC-TV:

According to police, Lopez entered the United States illegally on December 8, 2016. He was picked up by the Department of Homeland Security in October 2017, but a federal judge released him from custody in June. Zuniga and Molina entered the country illegally as unaccompanied minors. Molina was picked up by DHS in July 2017 but released by a federal district judge in November 2017.

While Democrats put political gamesmanship over the best interests of the nation and their media allies committed to downplaying the impact of illegal immigration, Americans must ask themselves how many more fellow citizens must fall prey to those who have no business being in the country.

Criminal illegal immigrants aided and abetted by the Democratic Party.

All the while, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio is focused on his vow to proved health care to all New York City residents, including illegal immigrants.

A point not lost on outspoken conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, as seen in a tweet directed at “Open Borders” Bill de Blasio.

Seems President Trump was on to something Thursday when he said Democrats “don’t give a damn about crime.”

It was Winston Churchill who once observed that Americans will always “do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else,” and the online reaction to this story suggests the country is slowly coming around to the realization that we must stop the insanity — despite the national media’s efforts to divert them.

Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

What to do, what to do.

I wonder what @BilldeBlasio would say if his wife or child were murdered by illegal MS-13 gang members being protected by his sanctuary city policy. God, am I glad I don’t live in Manhattan anymore! https://t.co/1fbdVxLTn5 — GAYRIGHT (shadow banned) (@gayright) January 11, 2019

Of course CBS, NBC, ABC all ignoring the gross reality of an unprotected border. https://t.co/CnOtaY8OPa — Christopher Hack (@hack_chris) January 11, 2019
