Of course, upon seeing the footage where American lives were ended and laughed at, people around the country instantly became enraged.
“A National Guard helicopter transporting three soldiers and a Border Patrol agent crashed in Texas,” Texas Representative Troy Nehls wrote on X. “Two soldiers and the Border Patrol agent died. And Mexican cartel members laughed. They do not respect our country.”

Many also began to point to President Joe Biden as responsible for the lives lost.
“Their deaths are on Mayorkas’ and Biden’s hands,” wrote one user.

“Hey America! You get it now? These Cartels don’t care about you, the people they smuggle or sanctity of life. It’s all product to move for money. And Our Government the Democrats are making them wealthy beyond belief!” another enraged user shared.

What occurred was a tragedy, but having the cartel mocking it makes the tragic events even more sour.
Until the federal government grows a spine and begins to treat the border crisis like the pressing issue it is, appalling situations like this are bound to happen again.
