Migrant Woman Killed in Fall From Train in Mexico

The story is newsworthy, doesn't US News and World Report put a negative spin on this though in saying "Migrants are seeking other ways to come to the US because of Trump policy"?  (see below) As if yeah, blame us! You morons.  ... anyway, those trains, that one train, the Beast, that's been in the news a lot.  That said, sorry this happened, I don't care for the bias though.

And for the record, this happened right inside Mexico's southern border apparently, Chiapas... so how they can unload this with that line seems to be total garbage. Chiapas, bordering Guatemala.

This would be like Canada adopting more stringent immigration rules (they've largely got them from what I understand) and some accident happens right inside the US's southern border and then saying "Trudeau's policies forcing immigrants to find other ways to come".

Migrant Woman Killed in Fall From Train in Mexico
The Mexican crackdown on migrants prompted by pressure from the Trump administration has pushed Central American migrants to seek new ways to try to reach the U.S. border.

TACOTALPA, Mexico (AP) — An engineer shouted for the young migrant woman to hurry up and climb aboard the freight train or she'd be left behind. In her bright red tennis shoes, she quickened her pace and was the last to get on when it pulled out near Salto de Agua in Mexico's southernmost state of Chiapas.

Hours later and about 27 miles (43 kilometers) to the west, the train stopped near the Tabasco state town of Tacotalpa and the woman hopped off to buy some cheese-stuffed rolls. When the train crowded with migrants began to move again, she hustled to clamber back aboard. But the train suddenly stopped and rolled back. She lost her grip and fell beneath its wheels. It dragged her 100 yards before jerking forward again in a thunder of shuddering steel.

"The people were screaming there. They yelled at those in front to stop, to the engine, but the engine accelerated," said Catalina Leon Muñoz who lives alongside the tracks.

It's Bush's Trump's fault. Pelosi wants to sent fleets of limousines to the southern border of Mexico to pick up illegals and to deliver them straight to Texas, or Minnesota, or Iowa, anywhere but California. Trump would not authorize this so this woman's death is on him.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
