Mexico is run by a mixture of politicians, local strongmen and cartels. The apparent murder of women and children from the LeBaron family by cartel gunmen is a horrifying crime. It’s also a reminder of why we have borders. And why we need them.

At least three American mothers and six children from a Mormon family were killed in a shooting in the Mexican border state of Sonora on Monday in an attack blamed on drug cartel gunmen.

Seventeen family members from the LeBaron and Langford families were ‘ambushed’ eight miles apart while heading to celebrate a wedding anniversary in three cars from La Mora – a decades-old settlement founded as part of an offshoot of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
