The Biden Administration, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,
want to fundamentally transform America into a violent, crime ridden,
corrupt narco-terrorist shit hole like Shitexico.

Two of the four Americans kidnapped at gunpoint in Mexico last week are
dead and two are alive and now safe in the US, Mexican officials said.
Four US citizens were kidnapped by armed men on 3 March while driving
into the city of Matamoros in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas,
Mexico, across the border from Texas.
They had travelled there for cosmetic surgery, relatives told US media.
One man, named only as José "N", 24, from Tamaulipas, has been arrested.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said: "We offer our deepest condolences to
the friends and families of those who were killed in these attacks."
The two surviving victims were delivered to the US on Tuesday in
co-operation with the US consulate in Matamoros, Tamaulipas Attorney
General Irving Barrios Mojica said in a tweet.
A Mexican official told Reuters that two men had been found dead, while
a man and a woman were safe and in the hands of authorities.
The bodies of those killed have been recovered and are being
repatriated, US officials said.
"We are very sorry that this happened in our country and we send our
condolences to the families of the victims, friends, and the United
States government, and we will continue doing our work to guarantee
peace and tranquillity," Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said.
The Americans were named as Latavia "Tay" McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Eric
James Williams and Zindell Brown, CBS, the BBC's US partner, reported.
The four were driving through Matamoros - a city of 500,000 located
directly across the border from the Texas town of Brownsville - in a
white minivan with North Carolina licence plates when unidentified
gunmen opened fire, the FBI said this week.
Video shows them being loaded into a pickup truck by heavily armed men.
One is manhandled onto the vehicle while others appear to be unconscious
and are dragged to the truck.
A Mexican woman, believed to be a 33-year-old bystander, was killed in
last Friday's incident.
At a news conference later on Tuesday, Mexican officials confirmed the
24-year-old man had been arrested and that the four Americans were
discovered at a wooden house outside Matamoros.
The victims had been transferred to various locations between the
kidnapping on Friday and their discovery on Tuesday, the officials,
including Mr Barrios Mojica, said.
nvestigators think the Gulf Cartel, one of the oldest organised crime
groups in Mexico, is responsible for the attack, a US law enforcement
source told CBS.
It is still unclear whether the Americans were ambushed, mistaken for
competing drug traffickers, or were caught in cross-fire between warring
factions.
US State Department officials said on Tuesday that the investigation is
still in the early stages.
Ms McGee was said to be travelling to the Mexican border town to have a
tummy tuck, a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove abdominal fat.
Her mother Barbara Burgess told ABC News that she had asked her daughter
not to go, but her daughter had reassured her she would be safe.
The FBI had offered a $50,000 (£42,000) reward for the return of the
Americans.
[Doesn't that set a bad precedent of rewarding kidnappers for kidnapping
Americans?]
Matamoros is in Tamaulipas state, one of six Mexican states that the US
State Department advises travellers not to visit because of "crime and
kidnapping".
Medical tourism is common, particularly among people living in US border
states.
But Matamoros is one of the most dangerous cities in the country, as
drug cartels control large swathes of the state of Tamaulipas and can
hold more power than local law enforcement.
