Horror across US-Mexico border with multiple parents, infants dead
Catastrophe struck Central American immigrants attempting to flee imperialist war and violence across the US-Mexico border last weekend, generating widespread outrage in the Latin American working class.
On Sunday morning, US officials discovered the bodies of four people—a 20-year-old, a young child and two babies—dead in the Texas desert on the US side of the Rio Grande, known to Latin Americans as the Rio Bravo. The Guatemalan embassy has since identified the young people as Guatemalan nationals. Temperatures in the area reached 113 degrees Sunday.
The FBI has announced it is reviewing the deaths, a highly unusual step which raises questions about whether the immigrants were murdered on the US side of the border. Regardless of the exact cause of death, the immigrants were killed by the policies of the Trump administration.

The same day, a young father and his infant daughter drowned attempting to cross the river on the border of Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas. ElSalvador.com wrote, “Sunday afternoon, a Salvadoran and his 1 year, 11-month-old daughter were overcome by the current of the Rio Bravo in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico when they attempted to cross it to enter the US.”
The father was named Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramirez, he was just 25 years old. His daughter, whose arm was draped around her father’s back when their bodies washed up on the shore, was named Valeria.
The deaths have sparked mass outrage across Latin America and engendered even deeper hatred against the Trump administration and American imperialism. Practically every major newspaper across the region ran banner headlines describing the deaths and a litany of other horrors confronting immigrants fleeing north.
Salvadorans were outraged after Mexican police assassinated a young Salvadoran woman traveling to the US along Mexico’s east coast this weekend. Elsalvador.com wrote:
“María Senaida Escobar, 19 years old, died after being shot in the head when Mexican police from Veracruz intercepted the truck in which she and other immigrants were driving to the United States.”
On Friday, Mexican National Guardsmen wielding assault rifles were filmed tearing two Nicaraguan mothers from the arms of their young daughters at the border with the US in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Photos of the National Guardsmen in battle gear frog marching the crying mothers back to Mexico was widely viewed on social media throughout Mexico and Central America and particularly in Nicaragua.
On Sunday, the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) announced Mexico would deploy 15,000 members of the National Guard to its northern border on top of the 6,000 it deployed on the request of Donald Trump earlier this month.
The newly formed National Guard is effectively serving as Trump’s shock troops for terrorizing workers and poor peasants of Central America. Last week, AMLO—falsely upheld by so-called socialist groups like the Democratic Socialists of America as a left-wing hero—ordered bus companies to work with police and federal police to check identifications of those buying bus tickets in order to arrest and deport immigrants.
Francisco Javier Calvillo, director of the migrant shelter Casa del Migrante in Ciudad Juarez, told El Diario de Juárez that AMLO’s government “is doing the United States’ dirty work.”
The Trump administration was forced to relocate 300 immigrant children from a concentration camp in Texas where they were being housed under filthy conditions by the fascistic guards.
The New York Times reported: “The move came days after a group of lawyers was given access to the station in Clint and said they saw children as young as 8 years old caring for infants, toddlers with no diapers, and children who said they were waking up at night because they were hungry.”
The lawyers “said that children lacked access to private bathrooms, soap, toothbrushes or toothpaste. Many were wearing the same dirty clothes that they had crossed the border in weeks earlier.”
The children were whisked off to a variety of other concentration camps, including a tent encampment outside of El Paso, Texas.
The attacks on immigrant workers escaping home countries devastated by decades of US imperialist violence has provoked outrage in the American population as well.
Beyond a small segment of die-hard Trump supporters, the masses of people regard the migrant deaths and the deterioration of conditions in the concentration camps with disgust and shame.
Over the weekend, a group of protesters gathered at the Fort Sill military base in the Midwestern state of Oklahoma, the former Japanese internment camp that the Trump administration is opening for detaining 1,400 immigrant children. The group included a number of elderly Japanese Americans who themselves were interned as young children, and one man who was born in a camp in Topaz, Utah.
Military police interrupted the protest and screamed at the former internees: “What is it you people don’t understand!” one soldier shouted, demanding the protesters leave immediately.
"My earliest recollection is being on the train with my family, leaving that camp," Satsuki Ina, a 75-year-old woman, told Newsweek. "I was two years old."
Mike Ishii, whose mother, aunts and grandmother were detained in internment camps, also travelled to Oklahoma from New York. "I am just so heartbroken and outraged," he told Newsweek.
“For me, I don't feel like I have a choice. I have to go. I need to go there. I need to register my opposition and I think that is a sentiment that is shared by a lot of people in my community. As soon as I first saw the headlines coming out about this policy to bring 1,400 children to Fort Sill, I felt like I just had to be there.”
On Saturday, Trump announced he was postponing by two weeks plans for a massive 10-city series of raids to arrest 2,000 immigrant families at the request of Congressional Democratic leaders Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.
The Democrats, who never raised doubts when Democratic President Barack Obama deported 3 million people, undoubtedly warned Trump that his raids would likely provoke mass demonstrations that they feared neither party could control. Now the two parties are agreeing to provide billions more to fund Trump’s American Gestapo, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
MEXICO VOWS A NEW INVASION HAS BEGUN, FINANCED BY U.S.
THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:
"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for
mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right".
We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said,
adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job,
welfare, and free medical in the United States."

"Also, Rubin did not mention the moral responsibility of the child’s
father who brought her through the desert in an apparent effort to use the
catch-and-release Flores loophole to get past border guards. The loophole was created by
Judge Dolly Gee who has ordered border officials to release migrants after 20
days if they bring a child with them."

Billionaire Mexicans tell their poor
to JUMP U.S. OPEN BORDERS and LOOT THE STUPID GRINGO… and loot they do!
Billions of dollars are sucked out of
America from Mexico’s looting!
1) Mexico
ended legal immigration 100 years ago, except for Spanish blood.
2) Mexico is the 17th richest nation
but pays the 220th lowest minimum wage to force their subjects to invade the
USA. The expands territory for Mexicans, spreads the Spanish language, and
culture and genotypes, while earning 17% of Mexico's gross GDP as Foreign
Remittance Income.
Mexico: Where Is Your Shame?
At a demonstration Wednesday in
Mexico City against Arizona's law.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Immigration: Mexico's government
gloated triumphantly after a federal judge's injunction blocked Arizona's
immigration law. But it's no victory for Mexico. In fact, Mexico's leaders
ought to be mortified.
As radical immigration activists
crowed with glee and the Obama administration claimed victory, Mexico's
government joined the applause.
Calling Judge Susan Bolton's
injunction Wednesday "a step in the right direction," Mexican Foreign
Minister Patricia Espinosa declared: "The government of Mexico would like
to express its recognition for the determination demonstrated by the federal
government of the United States and the actions of the civil organizations that
organized lawsuits against the SB 1070 law."
In reality, it ought to be ashamed.
Supposedly framed as an issue of federal power pre-empting state power, it's
hardly Mexico's business. But Mexico made a big show of saying its interest was
in protecting its nationals from the dreadful racism of Arizona that its own
citizens, curiously enough, keep fleeing to.
Espinosa said her government was busy
collecting data on civil rights violations and her department had issued an
all-out travel warning to Mexican nationals about Arizona.
That's where Mexico's hypocrisy is
just too much.
First, Mexico encourages illegal
immigration to the U.S. Oh, it says it doesn't, but it prints comic book guides
for would-be illegal immigrants and provides ID cards for illegals once they
get here. In Arizona alone, Mexico keeps five consulates busy.
That's not out of love for its
own citizens, but because Mexicans send cash back to Mexico that helps finance
the government.
Instead of selling its wasteful state-owned oil company or
getting rid of red tape to create jobs in Mexico, Mexico spends the hard
currency from remittances. It fails to look at why its citizens leave.
According to the Heritage
Foundation-Wall Street Journal 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, Mexico's big
problem is — no shock — government corruption, where it ranks below the world
average.
That's where Mexico's cartels come in.
Mexico's encouragement of illegal
immigration undercuts its valiant war against its smuggling cartels. The
cartels' prowess and firepower have made them the only ones who can smuggle
effectively across the border. U.S. law enforcers say they now control
human-smuggling on our southern border.
Feed them immigrants and they grow
more cash-rich — and right now, immigrant smuggling is about a third of the
cartels' income.
Mass graves and car bombings are
signs of criminal organizations getting bigger, and more powerful. Juarez,
which has lost 5,000 people this year, bleeds because cartels fight over not
just who gets the drug routes, but who gets the illegal-immigrant smuggling
routes, too.
Aside from the cartel mayhem in
Mexico, the bodies are piling up in the Arizona desert and U.S. Border Patrol
rescues of abandoned illegals left to die have risen.
It's not the desert's fault,
and it's certainly not Uncle Sam's fault, as activists claim. No, it's the fact
that Mexicans are encouraged to emigrate. Criminal cartels don't fear
abandoning their human cargo in the desert, as long as Mexico does nothing and
blames Uncle Sam.
Hearing Mexico's government now cheer
the Arizona ruling, which will only encourage more illegal immigration, gives
the country's regime a pretty inhuman face.
If Mexico had any decency, it would
do all it could to discourage illegal immigration and keep a respectful silence
about Arizona.
It needs U.S. support for its war on
cartels. Instead of insulting American citizens, Mexico should confront
directly the reasons why its people are so desperate to leave, and do all in
its power to destroy the cartels that are slowly killing the nation. That
includes defunding the murderous gangs by halting illegal immigration.
WHAT DOES MEXICO DO
WITH THEIR OWN ILLEGALS???
THEY DEPORT THEM ON
THE SPOT!!!
Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign
visitors and immigrants are:
1.) in the country legally;
2.) have the
means to sustain themselves economically;
3.) not destined
to be burdens on society;
4.) of economic
and social benefit to society;
5.) of good
character and have no criminal records; and
6.) contributors
to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also
ensures that:
7.) immigration
authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
8.) foreign
visitors do not violate their visa status;
9.) foreign
visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
10.) foreign
visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
11.) foreign
visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
GET THIS:
12.) those who aid in illegal immigration will be
sent to prison!!!!!!!!!

The immigration debate has been raging for years. Advocates
for open borders can be found on both sides of the political aisle and in a
wide variety of special interest groups who have come to see the immigration
system that delivers an unlimited supply of cheap and exploitable labor, an
unlimited supply of foreign tourists, and unlimited supply of foreign students
and, for the lawyers, an unlimited supply of clients. MICHAEL CUTLER
