My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the victims. My thoughts and prayers are also extended to the administration of President Lopez Obrador in Mexico, whose inauguration I attended just a few months ago. This is a sobering task to have to identify the source of such a heinous and barbaric crime.

Mexico is a good neighbor to us. We have about $1.6 billion or $1.7 billion every single day that crosses over our shared southern border. Mexico has been a good neighbor, a solid trade partner, and a country with which we share many interests. It is a country that desperately needs our prayers right now and our help and assistance.…”
