Joe Biden’s presidency has been a disaster for America. Now it’s turning deadly.
And one massive Biden failure just got Americans killed.
The Biden administration has been letting down the American people from the very beginning.
Biden started off his presidency insisting on devastating COVID lockdowns and disastrously withdrawing from Afghanistan, leaving American servicemen dead.
But Biden’s biggest failure, by far, has been his complete refusal to secure the southern border.
Thanks to him, thousands of pounds of deadly fentanyl have crossed the border and entered the streets of American cities.
Millions of illegal immigrants have been allowed to break our laws and enter the country since he took office.
And who can forget the organized and bloodthirsty drug cartels that effectively run border cities without so much as a sheriff’s deputy trying to stop them?
All of this was a recipe that would lead to Americans’ death, and that’s just what we’re seeing.
Following the murder and kidnapping of American citizens in Mexico by suspected drug traffickers, Republican officials slammed President Biden’s open border policies, calling his presidency “the best thing that ever happened” to the drug cartels and blaming the Biden administration for “empowering” them.
On Tuesday, US and Mexican authorities reported that two of the four Americans kidnapped in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, were slain by a Gulf Cartel cell, while the other two were rescued during a stash house raid.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blamed President Joe Biden and the Democrats “for turning the Mexican drug cartels into multi-billionaires.”

They have killed Americans and brought ceaseless amounts of fentanyl into our country.
We need to bankrupt them and bring the cartels to justice.

“They have killed Americans and brought ceaseless amounts of fentanyl into our country,” Cruz wrote. “We need to bankrupt them and bring the cartels to justice.”
“President Biden is the best thing that ever happened to the Mexican drug cartels,” he wrote in another tweet.
“If we had real leadership, the cartels wouldn’t be killing Americans, fentanyl wouldn’t be flowing into our country, and our southern border would be secure,” he added.
“Drug cartels think they can get away with violence against Americans because they’ve noticed the culture of lawlessness created by Joe Biden,” wrote Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS).

“Mexican Cartels are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and migrants, and the Biden Administration is asleep at the wheel,” wrote Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).
“We must knock their knees out and regain operational control of the border,” he added.

“The Mexican drug cartel’s revenue has increased 26x since 2018,” wrote Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO). “Joe Biden’s economy is working out for someone, just not the American people.”

“Dictators, cartels, and bad guys around the world know that @JoeBiden is a weak appeaser with open border policies,” wrote Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

They're taking full advantage by trafficking evil drugs across the southern border & poisoning our communities. We must classify them as the terrorists they are. https://t.co/sEhAnbLePu

“Two American citizens have died in Mexico because Biden has empowered Mexican criminal cartels and gangs,” wrote Rep Andy Biggs (R-AZ).

“Joe Biden is directly responsible for the increase in violence at the southern border,” wrote Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). “He needs to accept responsibility for the consequences his policies have created.”

“Biden’s open border policies are emboldening the cartels,” she warned in another tweet.
On Friday afternoon, Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown, and Eric James Williams entered into Matamoros from Brownsville, Texas, for medical tourism.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador stated during a press conference that they were looking for medicine, but other sources reported that some were looking for aesthetic surgeries.
The gang was pursued, shot, and kidnapped after crossing into Matamoros in their white minivan with North Carolina license plates.
During the pursuit, the minivan collided with another car, and the gunmen opened fire, striking and killing an innocent female bystander exiting a city bus.
It is unclear whether the gunmen specifically targeted the four Americans or if it was a case of mistaken identity.
It’s also unclear why Mexican authorities didn’t arrive at the location until the cartel shooters had already fled with the victims.
Prior to the US Embassy issuing a statement confirming the kidnapping, most Mexican news outlets only reported on the death of an innocent bystander.
The incident occurs as the United States continues to face record levels of illegal immigration, with over 844,000 migrants apprehended after crossing the southwest border or categorized as “got-aways” during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Border Patrol personnel apprehended 4.2 million migrants in over two years under Biden’s presidency, a record.
