In case you missed it, yesterday, the bodies of 46 migrants were discovered in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio, Texas.
Some 22 Mexicans, seven Guatemalans and two Hondurans were identified among the people who were found dead in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio on Monday, Mexico’s foreign minister said.

Absolutely heartbreaking. And, sadly, not an uncommon occurrence at our southern border.
I am not an open-borders person, but isn't this (very common) criticism of "open borders" 180 degrees wrong? Isn't it our immigration restrictions (combined with imperfect enforcement) that led to this? https://t.co/BXCbDq45YW

That’s actually a very fair point. If our borders were open in the truest sense of the word, migrants would have no need to sign themselves up to be smuggled into the U.S. in suffocating conditions. But our borders are also not closed. Not by a long shot.
Illegal immigration is a serious problem that has only grown exponentially worse under the Biden administration, and that’s due in no small part to the Biden administration’s refusal to acknowledge the gravity and severity of the problem.
To wit, this jaw-dropping statement from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:
“The fact of the matter is the border is closed,” says Karine Jean-Pierre in response to Republican criticism of Biden’s border security policies causing death of 46 migrants

That would actually be our immediate first question. Followed, of course, by “Isn’t it a little too early to be drinking so much?”

Only if your eyes are closed.

We can’t find a single person in the entire administration who has even the slightest shred of credibility. And believe us, we’ve tried. It’s a fool’s errand.
The Democrat denial of objective reality might as well be part of their platform. https://t.co/TgrZ58Mx66

If the borders gets any more closed, it might actually implode.
