Exclusive — Tom Cotton: Illegal Aliens Committing ‘Murder’ and ‘Rape’ Because Joe Biden ‘Won’t Secure Border’
MANCHESTER New Hampshire — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned in an interview with Breitbart News that illegal aliens are committing “murder” and “rape” because President Joe Biden “won’t enforce the law and secure our border.”
“We see stories time and time again of illegal aliens committing murder or rape or carjacking people who shouldn’t be in our country to begin with. But they’re here because the Biden administration won’t enforce the law on secure our border,” Cotton began during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News while in New Hampshire to raise money for the granite state Republican Party.
“I know we may be in New Hampshire here, but every town in New Hampshire is a border town, because so much of the drugs that you see in New Hampshire and across the country comes from our southern border,” Cotton said.
Cotton asserted the “lion share” of drugs fueling the opioid crisis come from China by way of the Mexican-American border.
“The evidence on that is clear,” he began. “China has super case laboratories where they make the precursors to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. They send them [drugs] to the cartels in Mexico which finished the job by pressing them into pills or cutting them into other drugs, and they ship them into America.”
“Our boarder patrol does a good job of trying to detect these drugs, which in some cases are literally shipped over in the quantity that they could kill every American. They’re so deadly. And just such a small amount is captured at our border, but that’s just what they catch, think about what they miss. That’s one reason why we just saw the terrible tragedy of the biggest number of drug overdoses in American history last year.”
Cotton also advocated for getting “control of our border” by “finish[ing] building the wall… to enforce our laws” while not “letting illegal immigrants” inside the United States.
“We also need to get control of our legal immigration system at a time when we still have millions of Americans still out at work,” Cotton continued, “We shouldn’t be increasing the number of legal immigrants we have to come here and compete against Americans for those jobs.”
Cotton also outlined a proposal to fix the legal immigration system, which would be based on a “simple mathematical formula that awards points based on your level of education, the field you have, your education, and your ability to speak English, whether or not you have distinctive contributions in your field,” Cotton explained, adding that Canada has implemented a similar plan.
Cotton denied that states protecting the border, a duty the Constitution outlines as a federal responsibility, is leading to a secession movement away from the union.
“No, I don’t, but I do think that when it comes to things like immigration, it’s much more helpful to have a federal approach,” Cotton directly answered. “But the federal approach has to be based on common sense about protecting our border and protecting our people from the illegal aliens and the crime and the drugs that come across our border.”
Cotton additionally commented on a recent court ruling from a federal judge in Texas that said former President Barack Obama violated federal statute when he unilaterally implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
“I totally agree with the ruling; the judge is right,” Cotton said.
“The case is… about whether the President can rewrite laws that Congress has passed, and that’s what Barack Obama tried to do in 2012… The president cannot simply say he is not gonna enforce an entire category of our laws, so the case was rightly decided. There should be no more DACA permits issued period,” Cotton said. “And what Congress should do is address these problems in a targeted way, but what the Democrats won’t do, it’s just that they want to use the people who have received the docket benefits as leverage to get a massive amnesty.”
“Even when President Trump proposed a step that would give those recipients legal status in return for things like eliminating chain migration, finishing the wall, eliminating the diversity lottery, the Democrats said no, because they want a massive amnesty. That’s what they’re trying to do right now, and in their big budget blow out, they wanna slip in amnesty there, they’re gonna claim it’s just for a few very sympathetic DACA recipients.”

Steinle’s murderer, Jose Zarate and been deported 5xs!
"While walking with her father on a pier in San Francisco in 2015, Steinle was shot by the illegal alien. Steinle pleaded with her father to not let her die, but she soon passed in her father’s arms."
In the last two years, ICE officers made 266,000 arrests of aliens with criminal records, including those charged or convicted of 100,000 assaults, 30,000 s ex crimes, and 4,000 violent killings. Over the years, thousands of Americans have been brutally killed by those who illegally entered our country, and thousands more lives will be lost if we don't act right now.
Adios, Sanctuary La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number over 2.6 million (BLOG: THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 15 MILLION ILLEAGLS). The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion (DATED: NOW ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE) on government services for illegal aliens, including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true. It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6 billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.
Mexico is essentially a one-party state deploying a neo-colonial policy toward the United States. Mexicans in the United States send back some $25 billion yearly, and Mexico depends on the USA to provide not only jobs but pick up the tab for criminals such as Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, deported five times, who gunned down Kate Steinle, and Luis Bracamontes, who murdered police officers Danny Oliver and Michael Davis.
DEATH ON THE BORDER
Agent Rogelio Martinez sought “to defend my country from terrorists.”

November 22, 2017
United States Border Patrol agent Rogelio Martinez knew his job was dangerous, but as Aileen Flores noted in the El Paso Times, the four-year veteran loved his work. “Dad, it’s the job I like,” Rogelio would tell his father José Martinez. “I want to defend my country from terrorists … I want to prevent terrorists and drugs from coming into the country.”
Rogelio Martinez, 36, had been planning a Sunday home gathering to watch the New England Patriots play the Oakland Raiders in Mexico City. Rogelio never made it home because, as José told the Times, his son’s head had been “destroyed.”
Martinez was dead and another agent in serious condition. What should have been a festive occasion, Flores wrote, “instead turned into a day of mourning filled with disbelief, sadness and heartache.” Based on past cases, the death of agent Martinez will not elicit much lamentation from the Mexican government and its American collaborators, particularly on campus.
In March of 1995 U.S. Border Patrol agent Luis Santiago fell to his death while pursuing illegals. Voz Fronteriza, an officially recognized student publication at the University of California at San Diego, responded with “Death of a Migra Pig,” a page-one editorial that celebrated both the death of Santiago and called for the killing of federal agents.
“We’re glad this pig died, he deserved to die. All Migra pigs deserve death,” said the officially funded UCSD publication. “We do not mourn the death of Santiago, instead we welcome it. Yet it is too bad that more Migra pigs didn't die with him. . . All of the Migra pigs should be killed, every single one. There are no good Migra agents; the only good one is a dead one.”
In 1994, Voz Fronteriza received $6,000 from UC student activity funds and many of its writers are members of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, which refers to the American Southwest as “occupied Mexico.” California attorney general Xavier Becerra, a former congressman once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate, boasts of his involvement with the militant group.
UC San Diego chancellor Richard Atkinson offered no public protest of “Death of a Migra Pig” and vice chancellor Joseph Watson failed to condemn the editorial. Neither campus boss suffered for appeasement of the razaists, and in October 1995 Atkinson became president of the entire University of California system.
Ten years earlier, in February of 1985, members of the Guadalajara drug cartel headed by Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, kidnapped U.S. DEA agent Enrique Camarena. Cartel thugs tortured and murdered Camarena and Mexican pilot Alfredo Zavala. The case resurfaced this August, when a Mexican federal court sentenced Gallardo to 37 years in prison for the murders, a full 32 years after the Mexican cartel murdered the American.
As the Los Angeles Times recalled, Gallardo was a former street cop who “counted police commanders and politicians among his protectors and supplicants.” After the Camarena murder, the U.S. pressured Mexico to arrest Guadalajara cartel bosses Ernest Fonseca and Rafael Caro Quintero. Gallardo, “reportedly protected by authorities, was not arrested until 1989” and his case “dragged on for decades in Mexican tribunals.”
Mexico transferred Ernesto Fonseca to house arrest in 2016 and in 2013 Mexico released Rafael Caro Quintero from prison on a legal technicality. Clearly, the Mexican government ranks among the cartels’ chief collaborators.
In 1985 the president of Mexico was Miguel de la Madrid of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) that ruled Mexico since the twenties. At the time of Camarena’s disappearance, the Los Angeles Times recalled, “an irate Reagan administration pressed the Mexican government to find him. U.S. customs officials all but shut down the nearly 2,000-mile-long border, triggering a binational crisis.”
Mexico is essentially a one-party state deploying a neo-colonial policy toward the United States. Mexicans in the United States send back some $25 billion yearly, and Mexico depends on the USA to provide not only jobs but pick up the tab for criminals such as Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, deported five times, who gunned down Kate Steinle, and Luis Bracamontes, who murdered police officers Danny Oliver and Michael Davis.
In 2014, Mexico also allowed the trafficking of minor children from Central America to the United States, a massive act of child abuse, a violation of the rule of law, and blatant defiance of U.S. sovereignty. The administration of POTUS 44 was complicit with all that in hopes of expanding Democrats’ imported electorate for 2016 and beyond.
Even so, populist Donald Trump easily defeated the Democrat candidate he accurately dubbed “Crooked Hillary.” In Mexico, PRI has resumed power under Enrique Peña Nieto but has deployed former president Vincente Fox as a stunt double to trash Trump in the style of the American left.
Rogelio Martinez, meanwhile, loved his job and wanted to protect his country from terrorists. Whatever their official statements, his death will not trouble Mexico’s PRI regime. For the razaist crowd, Martinez is just another “Migra pig” who deserved to die.
This deadly attack bolsters President Trump’s already strong case for building the wall and deporting false-documented illegals. As the Camarena case confirmed, sí, se puede control the border, if leaders have the will to do so.
At this writing, the surviving Border Patrol agent has yet to be identified but according to news reports he has no recollection of what happened.
Mexico sues U.S. gun makers, eyes $10 billion in damages

By Dave Graham and Laura Gottesdiener
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico sued several gun makers in a U.S. federal court on Wednesday, accusing them of reckless business practices that supply what it called a "torrent" of illegal arms to violent Mexican drug cartels, leading to thousands of deaths.
The lawsuit alleges that units of Smith & Wesson, Barrett Firearms, Colt's Manufacturing Company, Glock Inc, Sturm, Ruger & Co and others knew their business practices had encouraged illegal arms trafficking into Mexico.
The lawsuit cites weapons that had entered Mexico used in notorious shootings, noting that Colt's .38-caliber "Emiliano Zapata 1911" pistol is engraved with the image of the Mexican revolutionary, and is a status symbol coveted by drug cartels.
"What's the objective? That the companies in question compensate Mexico's government for the damage caused by their negligent practices," Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said at a news conference about the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
The lawsuit is one of the boldest steps ever taken by Mexico to pressure the U.S. arms industry, which Mexican leaders have for years blamed for fueling gang violence.
Companies needed to put an immediate stop to their harmful practices, Ebrard said, noting that the court would decide what damages should be paid. He spoke after Mexican officials told reporters the lawsuit sought an estimated $10 billion.
The companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation Inc (NSSF) said it rejected Mexico's claims that U.S. manufacturers were negligent in their business practices.
"The Mexican government is responsible for the rampant crime and corruption within their own borders," Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF's senior vice president, said in a statement. He said cartels use guns taken illegally to Mexico or stolen from Mexican military and law enforcement.
'ACTIVELY FACILITATING'
Mexico accused the companies of helping to flout its strict gun laws by marketing to the country's criminal underworld, and thereby "actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels."
Mexican officials said they had spent two years analyzing legal precedents over negligence by U.S. arms makers.
They pointed to cases including a recent offer by Remington Arms Co to pay nearly $33 million to families to settle lawsuits claiming that its marketing of firearms contributed to the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut, where 26 people died.
Claims of improper marketing have been used in other lawsuits as an exception to U.S. law that provides legal immunity to the gun industry, and could be pushing companies to become more transparent in explaining their operations.
"There are efforts that seem to be making some headway to make the gun industry and manufacturers in particular divulge records about how they think about marketing, distribution and sale practices," said Timothy Lytton, a professor at the Georgia State University College of Law.
Mexico's lawsuit said over 500,000 guns are trafficked annually from the United States into Mexico, of which more than 68% of them, or over 340,000, are made by the firms in question.
Mexico has suffered record-high homicide rates in recent years.
The weapons trafficked to Mexico were responsible for at least 17,000 murders during 2019 alone, a Mexican official said. Another official estimated the damage to the economy caused by the violence at around 1.7% of gross domestic product (GDP).
Mexican officials said they expected the case to take a long time to resolve, but were confident of success, noting that it was brought in the United States to ensure impartiality.
One Mexican official said the lawsuit was filed in Massachusetts because some of the companies were based there.
Mexican officials said the lawsuit was not aimed at the U.S. government, and Ebrard said he believed the Biden administration was willing to work with Mexico to stem arms trafficking.
Ebrard, viewed as a leading contender for Mexico's 2024 presidential elections, has repeatedly raised concerns about U.S. gun trafficking and lax gun controls.
The announcement of the lawsuit came a day after Ebrard traveled to El Paso, Texas, to commemorate the second anniversary of the killing of 22 people at a Walmart, where the shooter was accused of deliberately targeting Mexicans.
