Some migrant deaths are more important than others

A mother and two children drowned last week while trying to cross the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas. Dozens of migrants die at the southern border each month without comment from the White House, but the Biden administration pounced, to use a favorite left-wing media word, on these deaths.

The Department of Homeland Security is locked in a dispute with Texas over a strip of land called Shelby Park, which lies along the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass. Border Patrol agents have been using the park as a staging area to hold migrants caught illegally crossing the border before releasing them into the United States.
