At least eight illegal aliens have been arrested for trying to rob victims of Hurricane Helene amid the ongoing chaos in the area.
Over the weekend, Hurricane Helene swept through several southern states — leaving more than 100 people dead and hundreds more still missing. Many are expected to be without access to clean water or electricity for several weeks.
This is Erwin, TN. A small town in East Tennessee just on the other side of the mountains from Asheville, NC.

Meanwhile, eight male illegal aliens reportedly took advantage of the chaos to try to loot the homes of victims — proving yet again that these criminals supposedly looking for a better life in the U.S. have no respect for the citizens of the country they are invading.
The illegal aliens were reportedly arrested while robbing stranded residents in Washington County, Tennessee, while they were trapped due to heavy rains and catastrophic flooding.
They were taken into custody by Sheriff Keith Sexton and his deputies on September 28, held in the Washington County Detention Center on $20,000 bond each, and were due in court on September 30. Five of the illegal aliens — identified as 24-year-old Albin Nahun Vega-Rapalo, 37-year-old David Bairon Rapalo-Rapalo, 25-year-old Kevin Noe Martinez-Lopez, 43-year-old Marvin Hernandez-Martinez, and 37-year-old Dayln Gabriel Guillen Guillen — were charged with aggravated burglary for breaking into occupied homes. The remaining three illegal aliens — identified as 51-year-old Jesus Leodan Garcia-Peneda, 30-year-old Josue Berardo Ortis-Valdez, and 33-year-old Ersy Leonel Ortis-Valdez — were charged with burglary.

While illegals were busy looting, actual American citizens were coming together to help each other in a time of need.
According to reporting from Collin Rugg, “While some migrants are robbing people during the tragedy, locals are using privately owned helicopters to deliver supplies as the government shuffles its feet. Local residents are volunteering their time and money to save lives by making rescues and dropping supplies.”

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden spent the weekend on the beach near his Delaware home, while Vice President Kamala Harris was campaigning — though she did release one staged photo attempting to make it look like she was hard at work addressing Hurricane Helene aboard Air Force Two, but she was called out when people noticed that her headphones weren’t even plugged in and the paper she was supposedly writing on was blank.
Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, was actually in Valdosta, Georgia, handing out supplies and coordinating relief efforts.
Trump flew directly to Valdosta to deliver critical supplies to the victims of Helene.
Biden was at the beach all weekend.
