Nine members of a Mormon family were killed on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border, and authorities are investigating whether the attack was the result of mistaken identity. The slain victims include three women, four small children and two infants, family member Alex LeBaron said from Mexico. He said all nine were dual US-Mexican citizens. The victims were "all shot while in vehicles while driving," LeBaron told CNN. Investigators believe three vehicles traveling between the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua were ambushed by criminal groups Monday evening, Mexican authorities said.

But remember, don’t build the wall!

Ryan and McConnell gave Trump budgets that FORBADE him from using any of the money to build the wall.

And McConnell blasted Trump for pulling some troops out of Syria

Don’t pay attention to our own border! We need the money for to defend Syria’s border!

He said all nine were dual US-Mexican citizens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And people wonder why the Mormon church is all for open borders and amnesty.

I think this happened in Mexico. I am not sure how the wall would have made a difference.

I can’t wait to hear, what the liberal talking points on this tragedy will be. Will they really say that Mexico is a dangerous country? Will they say that these Americans somehow brought it on themselves because the drug gangs targeted them?

Can’t wait to hear the spin.

Maybe Mexico needs stronger Gun Control Laws and Signs?? I forgot, Obama gave the Cartel the Weapons used.

“I am not sure how the wall would have made a differencE”

Is that you, Mitch, Marco, Nancy or Chuck? You’re right, we don’t want to protect our country by building a wall against these monsters next door

Given the history of this tribe vs the cartels and the spread out nature of the attack, this was no “ mistaken identity” but a revenge attack

The people who carried out this attack operate freely over the border and earn their riches by drugs and human trafficking,

A wall wont stop it all but open desert is a statement of absolute submission

The “Mormon” issue here on FR never bothered me but the open border stance by them makes my blood boil. Let’s see how El Trumpo the Magnificent handles this...

How can they have been shot? Mexico has extremely stringent gun control laws. In fact I read that there is only one gun store in the entire country so surely criminals can’t get guns.

Well, they would not have been able to come to America to have United States taxpayers pay for the delivery of their children.

Thus, with a wall they wouldn’t have been able to claim dual citizenship.

The groups are in competition, much as the Italian mafia and the Irish gangs competed with each other during prohibition.

I’m LDS ... 58 Years Old, Returned Missionary, BYU Alumnist .... go to church everyday ....

And I’ve never heard anything about our church having an open border stance!!!

Don’t confuse Mitt Romney with the LDS People .... He was Gov of Massachusets.

Just becuase Pelosi and Biden are pro-abortion democrats it doesn’t mean thier church is!

Mitt Romney’s father was born in Mexico in 1907
Ponder that
Long history of some Mormons settling in Mexico to pursue their ...lifestyle ...away from US laws and jurisdiction

Probably shot with Obama/Holder “fast and furious” supplied weapons. Trump needs to make a special speech just to expose that program. Lets see the Rats come to the defense of suppling weapons to the drug gangs. Trump will win 3 more extra states in 2020.
