Prior to killing Tessa and Allison, Ramos ran a cop off the road while drunk. Officers ticketed, sentenced, and fined him. Yet, the local sheriff released him. Tessa’s mother claims @ICEgov was never contacted.
Jared, Spencer, Tessa, and Allison aren’t alone. 41-year-old Purple Heart and Medal of Valor winner Don Johnston was shot by an illegal immigrant. Johnston, a police officer, was answering a call at a bank.
An illegal immigrant, using a bank customer as a shield, fired at Johnston. A bullet struck two vertebrae in Johnston’s neck and left bone spurs near his spinal cord. The swelling left Johnston paralyzed. Johnston died 12 years later.https://lat.ms/2B34Jud
What Americans see on a day-to-day basis is what is happening North of our border, or in English-speaking media. Americans aren’t the only ones suffering from our failures. Lives are being taken North and South of our border.
Only this month, Mexican authorities found the remains of 21 bodies near the border. 17 of them were “burned.” Authorities believed the deaths were caused by gang violence, which has claimed thousands of lives along our border.https://reut.rs/2CfUEd2
Two months ago, 2 Honduran teenagers traveling with a migrant caravan to the U.S. were stabbed and strangled. Mexican authorities believe they were killed after a robbery attempt.https://wapo.st/2T8xlsW
Nearly 2 years to the day (in my district), 10 illegal immigrants crammed into the back of a tractor-trailer died from exposure to blistering heat.https://n.pr/2WeH3Mq
As far back as 9 years ago, in 2010, 72 migrants making their way to the U.S. were found dead at a remote ranch an hour south of the U.S. border. They were kidnapped by a drug gang.https://wapo.st/2sIHIbv
I could spend all day spouting off stories like these. Heartbreaking, unfathomable tales of atrocities committed because of our failures to secure our border and uphold the rule of law. You can find more @StolenLivesQlt / http://therememberanceproject.org .
Nothing we can do will bring back Jared, Spencer, Tessa, Allison, or Don to their families. What we can do … What we should do … What we must do is simple: secure our border, re-open our government, and pay our workers.
As I’ve said, reasonable people can disagree about the specifics of securing our border. No one can disagree that these families should not have lost a loved one because we continuously fail to do our basic duty to secure our nation and shore up American sovereignty.
Let’s #SecureTheBorderNow, end this shutdown, and pay our workers. https://bit.ly/2FkU5mo
