Border tour: Senators heckled by ‘coyotes,’ Biden officials tried to block photos
washington examiner ^ | 3/27/2021 | Paul Bedard

Republican senators on a two-day whirlwind tour of several border facilities were heckled by Mexican “coyotes” across the Rio Grande and told not to take photos of holding areas crammed with children.

One of the 18 senators on the fact-finding tour to South Texas, Indiana Sen. Mike Braun, told Secrets that a Biden aide involved in the tour asked that he delete his photos. Like others on the trip, he didn’t.

Inside a migrant processing and holding center in Donna, Texas, Braun said, “There was one of Biden's representatives. I felt sorry for the lady because she actually talked to me about deleting a picture, but by the time she got to me, all those other pictures were taken, and that shows you the hypocrisy,” he said.

“None of us would have gone down there if we were going to be muzzled,” said Braun, who added that Border Patrol also asked that no photos were to be taken, but that “they were telling us that because they had to.”

Those photos showed children as young as 3 years old jammed into the facilities that Braun described as the worst situation for migrants in 20 years. He earlier provided Secrets with a video of migrants being held by the dozens under a bridge.

In a debriefing of the tour, Braun said that one of the first stops was with border agents at the edge of the Rio Grande, where illegal immigrants typically cross. There, he said, the “coyotes,” who charge $4,000 to $20,000 to get migrants across, heckled the group in Spanish.

“All of a sudden to hear from the other side of the river taunting from the smugglers and coyotes, most of it in Spanish, telling the border guards that whatever you do, we're coming,” said Braun. “That

“...that a Biden aide involved in the tour asked that he delete his photos. Like others on the trip, he didn’t.”

It is only a short step from ask to demand. I wonder if next time the Federal Stasi confiscates?

Republican voters should be more like the cayotes. A little in-your-face taunting of our elected officials might actually get them to do something now and then. Conservative voters seem to be paralyzed by politeness.

Shoot a few of the smugglers. Hang the corpses from poles and leave them to rot.

That’ll shut them up.

The photos are devastating. It was actually hard for the delegation to even get into the Donna facility (which is the worst), and I don’t know how they finally managed it.

I read that these children are being farmed out to foster care in CA, where the foster parents have been asked to take as many as 25 kids...and are no longer having to pass fingerprint checks in the FBI “child molester” databases. It’s going to be a field day for kiddie porn in LA.

How does a three year old child decide he wants to come to America?

Open borders mean future Democratic voters. That’s why they’re wide open. Trump’s out of White House. Mission’s accomplished.

Jeopardy? It would have to be an extremely dumbed down version.
