The tragic incident that occurred in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, resulting in the death of 39 foreign migrants, is devastating news. The fire broke out in a detention center, where 68 men from Central and South America were held. Tensions between authorities and migrants have been running high, and the foreign nationals were desperate to reach U.S. soil.
The criminalization of migrants and asylum seekers in Ciudad Juarez has been a major issue, with many advocacy groups raising their voices against it. More than 30 migrant shelters and other organizations complained about the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers in the city. They accused authorities of abusing and using excessive force in rounding up migrants.

Mexican Socialist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) claimed that the fire was started by the migrants as a protest against their impending deportation. However, many people believe that the migrants’ desperation to reach the United States is a direct result of Joe Biden’s lawless border policies.

AMLO blames migrants for fire that killed 39 of them in Cd. Juárez:
“This had to do with a protest that (the migrants) started after we suppose they found out that they were going to be deported & as a protest they placed mats at the door of the shelter & set them on fire” pic.twitter.com/iY7aoP0BeB

As The Gateway Pundit reported, just two weeks ago, 1,000 illegal aliens stormed the port of entry in El Paso, Texas, in an effort to get into the United States. This incident highlights the dire situation created by Biden’s lawlessness. Illegal migrants are willing to risk their lives to enter the United States because of his policies.
The tragic deaths of these migrants are a direct result of Biden’s failure to enforce immigration law. If we had a president who was dedicated to protecting American citizens and enforcing our laws, these migrants would not be risking their lives to enter the United States.

The only way to save the lives of both Americans and foreign migrants is to return to the immigration policies under Donald Trump or a like-minded MAGA Republican. It is time for our government to take action and put an end to this senseless tragedy. We must address this humanitarian crisis and protect the lives of innocent people on both sides of the border.
