So where are Democrats now that drug cartels are doing their own brand of border enforcement?

Democrats, who have long advocated for open borders, have a lot of explaining to do on this one.

According to Breitbart News:

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Joint Task Force-West (JTF-W) Director Manuel Padilla, Jr. told Breitbart News about a pregnant migrant woman who cartel smugglers beat because she did not pay to cross the border.

...and...

“This young lady was eight months pregnant,” the director continued. “When the agents encountered her, she was beaten up so bad by the cartels, or by criminal organized crime, because she had not paid those dues.”

Padilla said agents took the young woman directly to the hospital where she delivered a stillborn child. He said the baby died because of the beating. She also required dialysis in the aftermath.

Is that enough to appall anyone? 

Who did the beating? None other than the biggest advocate (and beneficiary) of the U.S. doing nothing to enforce its borders, the filthy Mexican drug cartels. Because unlike Democrats, and the loudmouthed U.S. clergy, and every lobbyist with their snoot in the till, Mexican cartels know very well that there is no such thing as open borders. You either have the U.S. control its borders (which is what leftists scream about)... or cartels will do it for them. There's no either/or. You get one or the other. If Democrats, god forbid, enacted a full blown open borders law, the cartels would be there to collect the crossing fees. Because let's face it, crossing the Mexican border to the U.S. is something of value and cartels know it. 

Someone is always going to control the border.  And pity any migrant who doesn't pay them. 

This, incidentally, is one reason why the cartels have grown so big and grand and powerful in Mexico these days.

But, but, but we have to spend our defense money protecting the borders of middle east countries because those countries buy ‘speeches’ from our corrupt leaders and corrupt military contractors...

If we want OUR country protected we need to offer the larger bribe.

Border state Democrats are employees of the drug cartels.

We’re being screwed over by our own people... it’s not world doing this it’s OUR State Department, OUR DOJ, OUR politicians, OUR military contractors, OUR judges, OUR legislators...

You don’t get to the place where twenty to forty million illegals are living in OUR country and Mexican Crime Cartels are calling killer shots without MASSIVE help from thugs in OUR country.

“She intended to drop an anchor baby.”

Ah, so that makes it all good for you. Got it.

That was a disgusting comment.

Ad hominem fallacy. I only stated a fact, nothing more.

So, you know this for a fact, and not a supposition?

Okay....

What other reason could there be? According to the article she was eight months pregnant, and trying to enter the country illegally.

While her death was tragic, she was killed by her own people in her won country, hence not our problem.

I pointed out her intent to deliver an anchor baby, and you're thinking and reacting emotionally, which is what democrats do.
