MEXICO CITY (AP) — Just days before Mexico began requiring visas for Venezuelan visitors in an attempt to slow their migration to the U.S. border, Mayerlin Mayor left her native Maracaibo with her 7-year-old daughter Victoria.
The 36-year-old school teacher living with her parents could no longer make ends meet in the face of triple-digit inflation. They traveled by bus from the western Venezuela oilfields to Medellin in the mountains of Colombia, where they boarded a flight to Mexico.
On Tuesday, mother and daughter attempted to ford the Rio Grande to Del Rio, Texas, with other migrants and smugglers. Victoria Lugo Mayor was swept away by the current, her body recovered later by Mexican authorities. Her mother made it across and was detained by U.S. Border Patrol.
“It’s very painful.... It’s a powerful blow to the family,” Guillermo Castillo, Victoria’s uncle, said by phone from Venezuela.
Mayor was released by Border Patrol with a notice to appear in court. She was assisted by a local humanitarian group in Del Rio.
Castillo, Victoria’s uncle, said that Mayor could no longer raise her daughter in Maracaibo, where the collapse of the oil industry has led to chronic shortages of gasoline and failures of the water system.

Sorry for her stupid death, but not our problem.
Just think. Americans are going to have no place to go when RAT socialism takes over the United States with triple digit inflation and single digit I.Q.s.
If she had stayed at home and worked to fix Venezuela she would still be alive.

Trump Approves Deportation Protections for Venezuelans in U.S. Illegally
She should have been charged with child endangerment and first degree manslaughter and then locked. All this “immigration” is causing the U.S. to become a lawless, third world sh*tshow.
Her blood is on the hands of Brandon and Heels-up.
Another victim of global communism.
