Alabama Sen. Katie Britt spawned headlines this month for telling a flagrantly misleading anecdote about sex trafficking during the GOP response to President Biden’s State of the Union address.
The way she politicized and misrepresented the context and timeline of the story presented was immoral, exploitative and wrong. But the hard truth is that kidnapping, violence and sexual exploitation remain a reality at the border — and in reality, Britt is among a legion of conservative voices whose anti-asylum policy stances would make the situation far worse. While the media has focused on her factual distortions, they haven’t yet fully delved into the hypocrisy that her policy positions represent in contrast to her remarks.
Right now, Mexican human rights observers are still seeking justice for people seeking asylum who have been massacred and consigned to mass graves while passing through the country — many at the hands of Mexico’s powerful organized crime rings. These experts estimate that as many as 100,000 people have disappeared and remain missing in Mexico, in many cases due to gang-related conflict.

Bringing cartels here could solve the cartel violence problem in Mexico.
Because they will all be here doing it here instead.
No, that’s why Mexican citizens need to deal with their country’s problems (such as cartels) before running away to El Norte for unlimited free stuff. But they won’t.
Uncontrolled invasion of our border, is exactly one reason why the cartels/ control of Mexico is real.
There — fixed it..
The Hill may as well be Media Matters.
Hmmm. The HTML interpreter deleted my annotation.
It should read,
If every country embraced M[Your Country]GA…
America needs to be ashamed, but Tyson Foods has to combat increasing production costs on the plantations somehow!?
When this goes sideways its catastrophic in scale. Millions will die merely traveling or assembling. Starvation, de-banking, surveillance data, is gonna gitchya.
Sorry, the best we can do is drone the heck out of cartels and crooked Mexican government officials. Will that help?
Half the countries in the world have the same problem. Does that mean we have to accept everyone from those countries too? Let these countries clean themselves up.
Her argument is ridiculous.
Princess Mary needs to set up an “asylum” program at her house and America needs to fire up the military to go down and kick the Mexican’s asses. AMERICA IS A SOVEREIGN NATION, NOT A FRIGGIN REFUGEE CAMP FOR IDIOTS SEEKING THE AMERICAN DREAM FREE STUFF FOREVER “ASYLUM” Program. Only morons would destroy their own nation by taken in every coward in the world who is too yellow to fight for their own country. As communist, Marxist and socialist sh*tholes around the world crumble, they are sending their garbage to America. This is a kick in the teeth of the American people.
The Hill is more like MAD Magazine.
Mary is why men wanted to keep women out of politics and the problems of the world.
These are the same people who were cheerleaders for quarantining healthy people and ‘lockdowns’.
Think about it.
I suspect there’s an O missing in her last name.
Yup, she’s a moron.
Hey Mary Moron: As cartel violence becomes more prevalent in the United States, where are we going to apply for asylum?
Well-stated.
Just what we need.
A Unitarian Universalist squish from the church of the Great Wishy Wash telling the rest of the nation that we have a Christian obligation to do this.
Well, Mary, once I filter the pagan-Buddhist-animist-indigenous religiosity that you espouse out of the equation, I’m left with the knowledge that you don’t know your elbow from your donkey (is that an ass?).
