Dems’ open-border policies are backfiring in the most tragic ways, but honestly, it’s no shock. We’re watching a flood of unvetted illegals pour over our borders, hardly checked, and then they’re spilling into our communities, wreaking havoc. The danger has ramped up, lurking around every corner, all thanks to the Democrats’ misguided and lawless agenda at our borders. What’s truly scary is how innocent Americans have become targets of these criminal illegals, and even folks who support these dangerous policies can’t escape harm’s way.

Take, for instance, the recent situation that unfolded for Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez, a staunch advocate for open borders. In a cruel twist of fate, one of her long-time staffers was just killed by an illegal. How’s that for some truly sad and twisted irony?

Cortez publicly stated that “open borders” don’t exist and actively opposed Trump-era border policies. In 2020, she even signed a letter condemning the Trump administration for its “harmful policies” that, according to her, dismantled the United States’ asylum system. Oddly enough, those policies could have saved the life of her staffer.

Fox News:

Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto, D-Nev., claimed that there were “no open borders,” just two days before the migrant arrested in a deadly car accident that killed her adviser illegally entered into the U.S.

In a resurfaced video from March 10, 2021, a month when Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reported over 170,000 migrant encounters at the border, Cortez Masto is seen telling MSNBC that there was “a lot of misinformation” surrounding the southern border crisis.

“There’s no open border,” the Democrat Senator claimed. “As someone who was attorney general for eight years, my state worked very closely on the border with Mexico. There are no open borders.”

This criminal had no business being in the United States, and there were ample opportunities to deport him, but it didn’t happen.

RGJ:

The 18-year-old arrested in connection with the death of an adviser to U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was in the country illegally.

Elmer Rueda-Linares was in a two-vehicle crash about 4:30 a.m. April 6 at Kietzke and Peckham lanes that killed Kurt Englehart, state senior adviser to Cortez Masto, a Democrat.

On April 8, federal officers placed an immigration detainer — or “ICE hold”— on Rueda-Linares, who is being held at Washoe County Jail, the Department of Homeland Security told the RGJ in a statement Tuesday.

The initial charge against Rueda-Linares of felony hit-and-run has been changed to failing to stop at the scene of an accident, according to the sheriff’s office. He is being held on $100,000 bail.

“Rueda entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without inspection by an immigration official,” DHS said. “United States Customs and Border Protection arrested him, and he was later released on his own recognizance June 22, 2021.”

An immigration detainer is a request by Immigration Customs and Enforcement to local law enforcement to hold a “removable noncitizen” for up to 48 hours after the time the person would normally be released so that federal officers can take custody and deport them.

What does Cortez say about the death of this devoted staffer? Well, not much, to be honest, but her spokeswoman put out this generic statement:

“Sen. Cortez Masto looks forward to justice being served and has confidence in the local police and prosecutors,” Cortez Masto spokesperson Lauren Wodarski said.

Meanwhile, Senator Cortez seems utterly unfazed by the horrific and untimely death of her long-time staffer. In fact, she seems to have shaken off any semblance of sadness and is eagerly promoting more death by pushing abortion pills at pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens—a move that is raising eyebrows in Nevada and beyond.

The Nevada Independent:

Almost a year after major pharmacy chains began waffling at the prospect of filling mifepristone prescriptions, Walgreens and CVS began dispensing the abortion pill in Nevada during the last few weeks.

The decision comes after a concentrated push by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), who called on the chains to follow through with Food & Drug Administration (FDA) guidance updates finalized in 2023 allowing mifepristone to be dispensed and sold at pharmacies.

Now the most common means of terminating a pregnancy, mifepristone is the first of a two-pill drug regimen that patients can take within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute estimates that medication is now used for more than half (54 percent) of all abortions.

Mifepristone is available in Nevada via mail or at clinics, but abortion rights advocates say the pharmacy option will make access as simple as patients visiting their regular doctor’s office (which often are not certified to stock the abortion pill), obtaining a prescription and then picking it up at their local pharmacy.

Well, it’s nice to know where her priorities lie. Her poor staffer is pushing up daisies while she’s pushing for more controversial policies, all while her team suffers from the consequences of her past irresponsible and dangerous decisions. This story, and so many others like it, make it painfully clear that these countries are not sending their best or brightest to the United States. Instead, our communities are being inundated with crooks, drunks, and other assorted ne’er-do-wells, and lawmakers like Senator Cortez don’t seem to care what damage it causes your family or hers, for that matter.
