According to recent reports, Mexican authorities are taking greater action to prevent people from attempting illegal border crossings:

Believe it or not (yeah, you’ll believe it), a Democrat U.S. senator is actually troubled by that news:
Mexico doing Trump’s dirty work—another picture worth a thousand words. https://t.co/oZzJVbFH4A

“Trump’s dirty work”? They really want to get him re-elected, don’t they? First of all, it’s nice of Dick to admit that Trump’s tariff threat (and his demand about what Mexico do to avoid it) worked:
Thanks, Trump!

Oh no they are upholding an agreement with another nation to prevent people from using their land to break the law in another, how terrible

Actually, Senator – Mexico is doing work YOU and your colleagues on capitol hill won't do. #ImmigrationReform

Absolutely Awesome. See what happens with threat of tariffs!

That is their job in their side of the border dumbbell.

But it’s always nice when a congressional Democrat spills the beans about their real priorities:
Da Nang Dick seems upset some invaders are prevented from entering the United States during the Democrat Voter Drive. https://t.co/b0TEsMtWbG

And they deny they want open borders.

Proof again that Sen Blumenthal will not do anything to prevent illegal immigration or lift a finger to create a path to citizenship. Shame on you. https://t.co/MsdWjlDNl2

To confirm, you want them to risk their lives by crossing? Looking for another sad photo op you can exploit? #sureyoucare

If by dirty work you mean people entering the country illegally then sure. By the way, another example of dirty work is lying about your military record…. https://t.co/ibPdJZdNRc

Blumenthal’s tweet is such an unintentional backfire that the GOP and Trump might find a way to incorporate it into some 2020 re-election ads.
