The issue at the border has just taken on a new turn, and Joe Biden surely had blood on his hands now.
Four Americans were reportedly kidnapped last week while heading to Mexico for some health services, reports Fox News.
Two of them were found dead, the other two were found alive, rescued, and returned to the United States.
The Kidnapping
The four Americans, Eric Williams, Latavia McGee, Zindell Brown, and McGee's cousin, Shaeed Woodard, were traveling to Matamoros, Mexico, for cosmetic surgery.
The vehicle came under attack, with all four Americans being taken by the gunmen.
McGee and Brown were recovered dead, but William and McGee were both killed. Mexican authorities now believe the kidnappers attacked them because the car they were driving was similar to a vehicle rival human traffickers in the area were using.

After the incident, the FBI explained, "four Americans crossed into Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico driving a white minivan with North Carolina license plates. Shortly after crossing into Mexico, unidentified gunmen fired upon the passengers in the vehicle. All four Americans were placed in a vehicle and taken from the scene by armed men."
The FBI is now offering a $50,000 reward for information that leads to any arrests.
There was a travel alert for that area, and there were reportedly numerous incidents in the area with multiple people having been killed or injured. It appears as though these Americans drove right into a cartel war zone.
There has been significant talk from Republicans about working with the Mexican government to authorize our special forces to go in and clean up the cartel, talk which has grown considerably louder in recent days. In addition, and rightfully so, the GOP is hammering Biden for having enabled this situation to get to this point in the first place.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) stated, "The cartels couldn't ask for a better partner in crime than Joe Biden—his weakness allows them to operate unchecked.
"President Biden needs to secure the border and declare war against the cartels to protect Americans from drugs and this bold-faced violence."
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) added, "Mexico has become a captive narco state with compromised leaders. But even corrupt Mexican officials don't enrich the cartels as much as President Biden does. We will continue to see the cartels and thugs emboldened as Biden projects weakness."
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) also chimed in, stating, "On his first day in office, Joe Biden threw open America's southern border. What immediately followed was open season on frontline border patrol officers and open access to deadly fentanyl and human trafficking. Biden has also completely failed to strategically engage Mexico and target the cartels that have run wild since he entered the White House."
It is hard to argue against any of their points, as Joe Biden's immigration policies have fed the carte's coffers and emboldened them in terms of human trafficking. These turf wars that are going on in Mexico that have now cost two Americans their lives are a direct result of those immigration policies.
Joe Biden left Americans behind in Afghanistan, and now he is responsible for the deaths of Americans in Mexico. When are people going to learn that he simply does not care about the very people that fund his paycheck?
