Mexican Nationals

A 17‑year‑old Mexican national triggered a massive law‑enforcement scramble in Laredo, Texas, on Thursday, leaving two suspected illegal aliens dead and stealing two vehicles, including a marked Texas Highway Patrol unit. Police eventually captured the alleged human smuggler by pulling him from the Rio Grande during a final attempt to escape into Mexico

Five Mexican nationals, members of a notorious international criminal enterprise that forced young women and underage girls from Mexico and Central America into prostitution in the United States, received stiff prison sentences.

The trailer where the illegal alien charged with murdering 20-year-old college student Mollie Tibbetts lived was a “revolving door” for Mexican nationals, neighbors say.

A mainstream Arizona newspaper is decrying the small section of the Arizona-Mexico border that has a 14-foot-high primary fence because it is too high for illegal immigrants to safely cross. The article, “Border Fence Jumpers Breaking Bones,” includes the claim that sections of the border with a 14-foot-high fence are “as tall as a two or three-story house” and tells the stories of several women who broke bones and were treated extensively to healthcare and surgeries at the expense of U.S. taxpayers. The writer never mentions any lives directly lost as a result of there not being a border fence in most sections, such as when Mexican nationals crossed into the U.S. and murdered father and husband Robert Rosas, a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
