Alabama political leaders reacted to an illegal immigrant being arrested in the state for raping a ‘mentally incapacitated’ 14-year old.
Pablo Mendoza, 23, was arrested on March 25 by Enterprise Police and booked into the Coffee County Jail. He is currently being held without bond pending a hearing.
According to court documents, the victim was “physically helpless or mentally incapacitated.”

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) blamed the president for the recent incident.
“I am heartbroken for this young girl and her family. I hope you’ll join me in praying for them,” Moore said. “Thanks to Biden’s policies, every town is a border town, including mine.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) argued that Biden is just helping these illegal immigrants break into the country and harm Americans.
“This is Pablo Mendoza,” Tuberville said on X. “He is an illegal alien who was just arrested in South Alabama for raping a mentally incapacitated 14 year old girl. [President Biden] is aiding and abetting these monsters.”
This is Pablo Mendoza.

When President Biden refuses to prioritize interior enforcement, every state is a border state, and every city is a border city—including my hometown of Enterprise. How many more families will have to suffer before this Admin finally reverses course?https://t.co/abDdonVFwB

U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) said this is just another reason we need to close the border now.
“My prayers and deepest condolences go out to this young girl and her family,” Carl said. “This should have never happened and is a direct result of Biden’s wide open border policies. We must close the border now and ensure justice is served.”

U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said he’s working with other members of Congress to try and hold the Biden administration accountable exasperating the crisis.
In 2023, The Biden Administration used taxpayer funds to fly over 320,000 illegal immigrants into our country.
This is unacceptable.
