PIEDRAS NEGRAS — Lost in the furor over the Trump administration's immediate implementation of plans to round up and deport illegal aliens throughout the United States and close the border was the plight of a murderer who said he was now forced to do all his murderin' in Mexico.
Oscar Gonzalez, a career criminal, has set his sights on entering the United States in early 2025 in search of a brighter future of murdering Americans instead of Mexicans. He was devastated, however, to discover that the election of Donald Trump all but shattered his dreams and left him with no choice but to stay in Mexico for his vicious streak of killings.
"No bueno," Gonzalez said when interviewed through the border fencing. "I have always dreamed of coming to the United States, you know? Start fresh, build a new life, and really get some murdering done. Now that Trump is in office, I won't have that opportunity. It has been taken away from me. I'm stuck murdering people here in Mexico, with no hope of something better. I guess Donald Trump doesn't care about people like me."
Gonzalez was not without his advocates in the U.S., however.
"This is a perfect example of Donald Trump's heartless discrimination," said Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "This man wanted to bring his murdering to the United States — murdering that many U.S. citizens are unwilling to do, by the way — but Trump and his cronies are hell-bent on confining him and his hard-working mentality out. It's sad. And racist."
At publishing time, Gonzalez said he would hold out hope that another Democrat would be elected president someday and allow him to achieve his dreams of going on a killing spree in the U.S.
