There is a very fluid border at El Paso.
Immigration is not the issue in El Paso. It is an international incident. I think the Foreign Minister is correct. It was an attack against Mexicans. There is no doubt about it. The shooter was a White Nationalist. This is not an immigration issue in El Paso. There was a free flow of people between the USA and Mexico at El Paso. Mexicans worked in El Paso and went home at night. The people shopping at the place where they realized their deaths were there to conduct their everyday lives. Immigration has nothing to do with the El Paso deaths.
The shootings in the past week have realized the deaths of children, very young children. Two and three year olds.
In stating the situation is only going to get worse means there is nothing that is going to be done by Congress. Nothing will change.
Invasion indicates harm to others. Invasion is not the word to characterize the people coming from the Northern Triad. They are refugees. The people are unarmed and have no agenda of harm. Invasion is no different than infested, both words indicate harmful circumstances. Those words used in relation to human beings are inflammatory.

Mexico on Sunday (click here) threatened to take legal action against the United States for failing to protect its citizens after this weekend's mass shooting in the border city of El Paso.
Of the 20 people gunned down at a Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall, at least seven were Mexican citizens, and Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard promised Mexico City will act.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called the attack in El Paso a "terrorist act against innocent Mexicans."
