8-year-old child and two others die at Texas US point of entry.
Tragedy Strikes: 8-Year-Old Among Three Killed on Texas Side of US Point of Entry
In a harrowing reminder that police close to Mexico have to worry about all manner of crime on both sides of the border, a horrific tragedy has struck the city of El Paso, Texas.
In a car crash near the Ysleta port of entry, the El Paso Times reports that two women and an 8-year-old girl died after their vehicle was crashed into by a man allegedly fleeing local police.
Carlos Alejandro Martinez, 21, faces three counts of murder for his role in the horrific incident.
Martinez reportedly ran from police after they had initially tried to pull him over for speeding.
Instead of pulling over, Martinez accelerated and fled, before exiting the highway and running a red light.
While running that red light, Martinez triggered the multi-car accident that claimed the lives of the two women, ages 37 and 27, and the young child.
Two other drivers were involved in the accident, though neither of them appeared to have been injured.
Adding to the scariness of it all, an eyewitness video that the Times confirmed was of Martinez showed the immediate aftermath of the crash — flaming wreckage and all.
Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores shared the video on X and it’s as heart-stopping as it sounds:

In the video, Martinez is seen rifling through the back of one of the wrecked cars.
He is eventually confronted by police, who shoot him with an electric stun gun. An electrocuted and stiffened Martinez promptly fell to the ground before fires soon consumed the wreckage.
While the scene may seem like something out of the latest “Fast and Furious” movie, it is most assuredly real life and a real warning about the dangers that local law enforcement face on a daily basis — especially in places near the border.
And it would be remiss not to note that these everyday dangers and horrors that law enforcement face everyday can largely be traced back to the “big guy” up top — President Joe Biden.
Biden is, by all indications, a hollow husk for the far left to manipulate as they see fit.
That makes him a perfect vessel to push all manner of far-left nonsense like soft-on-crime policies that make police officers’ difficult jobs even harder.
As is evidenced by this case involving Martinez, policing in this country — especially near a porous border — is a dangerous enough job as it is.
It’s long past due that Democratic leadership starts focusing on the safety of police and not nearly as much on the criminals.

What steps can President Biden and his administration take to prioritize the safety and security of American citizens and address the crisis at the border
Lank” rel=”noopener”>soft crime policies and lax border enforcement. And as we have seen time and time again, these policies have real and devastating consequences.
The tragedy that unfolded in El Paso is just one more example of the dangers that come with an unsecured border and lenient law enforcement. The fact that a man fleeing from police was able to cause a fatal car crash resulting in the deaths of two women and an 8-year-old girl is a direct result of the failure to address the crisis at the border.
Carlos Alejandro Martinez, the man responsible for this horrific incident, faces three counts of murder. But he is not the only one who should be held accountable. The Biden administration must also take responsibility for their role in creating an environment where criminals can freely roam and innocent lives are lost.
It is no secret that President Biden has implemented a series of policies that have weakened border security and emboldened criminals. From the halt of construction on the border wall to the rollback of immigration enforcement measures, the Biden administration has sent a clear message that they are more concerned with appeasing the far-left than protecting American citizens.
And the consequences of these policies are devastating. Not only are we seeing a surge in illegal border crossings, but we are also seeing an increase in crime, drug trafficking, and human smuggling. The tragic events in El Paso are just a glimpse into the chaos that is unfolding at our southern border.
It is time for President Biden and his administration to take responsibility for their failures. They must prioritize the safety and security of American citizens over appeasing their far-left base. This means securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, and holding criminals accountable.
The tragic loss of three lives in El Paso is a stark reminder that we cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the dangers that come with unsecured borders and lenient law enforcement. It is time for action, and it is time for President Biden to step up and protect the American people. Only then can we prevent future tragedies and ensure the safety of our communities.
