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.

Mexican “migrants” should go to South America instead of coming to the USA.
If Mexico is safe for Mr. Martinez of La Jolla to visit on vacation, it is safe enough for safe enough for Mr. Martinez of Honduras to seek refuge.
Mary, analyzing that “conservative” deep thinker Katie.
America is so screwed.
She has been charged with retelling a politically advantageous fairy tale - not with critical thinking. :)
The vast majority of these current mojados are not “Mexican citizens” running away to El Norte-they are from S and Central America, as well as China and hellholes like Somalia-and now Haiti-so this is nice fresh meat for the cartels in Mexico-dumb new illegals who do not know all about how the cartels will collect money from their slave labor, and kill them if they refuse. Mexico is long overdue in their efforts to shut down at least the worst of los grandes carteles, and now they are having a big problem with jumpers of their own border and major cartel violence everywhere-que lastima, Mexico-disfrutalo...
Oh boo hoo. Poor TheHill. Triggered again.
I agree-but the majority of these nuevos mojados are FROM South America-and central America, and China, and Somalia, and Haiti, and a dozen other countries-and they are NOT seeking asylum in any true sense of the word-they are freeloaders and criminals...

Time for some JDAMS.
I’m surprised. The Hill has enough in house mindless hacks they shouldn’t have to bring in outside hacks. She’s a big wig in the Universalist Unitarian “religion,” aka religion for atheists

As if the cartels are allowing people who oppose them to come here...
It’d be a nice start.
True, many of the recent illegals are from countries other than Mexico, but Mexico should deal with the ones coming (illegally) through Mexico instead of just passing them along.
Mexico has to deal harshly with los carteles-as in scorched earth-they are not passing mojados along-they are hiding in fear and getting paid off while cartel acts like the pied piper, leading the illegals/mojados from all those different countries right down the yellow brick road to the US border. Until the Mexican govt retrieves their cojones from whatever lockbox they are in, and turns los federales loose-armed to the teeth, with scorched earth orders, those illegals are going to keep crashing Mexico’s border on the way to crashing ours-they are like locusts, devouring resources and leaving crap behind all the way-that is why I said “que lastima, Mexico-disfrutalo”...
Nobody can force Mexico to send back the border jumpers-they have to “cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war”-los federales-themselves-once those dogs of war taste blood, they are also notoriously difficult to call to heel again...
. . . and in reality, Britt is among a legion of conservative voices whose anti-asylum policy stances would make the situation far worse.. . .

Worse for who ? The author has no understanding of the real problem in Mexico (and it’s NOT our problem) It’s idiot s like her that have helped create the border problem and made this country far less safe.
