Oregon Senator Ron Wyden (D) on Saturday shared a video boasting about escorting an 8-and-a-half-months pregnant Mexican woman over the border so she could give birth to an anchor baby in the United States.

I went across the border into Juarez, Mexico to tour a shelter housing asylum seekers being forced to stay in Mexico instead of the U.S. while they wait to hear if they've been granted asylum. They are fleeing persecution and violence, seeking a better life for their families. pic.twitter.com/730QQSFhiz

While across the border, I met a young woman who was seeking refuge in the U.S., who was more than 8 months pregnant. pic.twitter.com/kkRoPXvDrK

It shouldn't have to take being escorted by a U.S. Senator to get asylum seekers and migrants to safety in the United States. After my time in Juarez, I'm reflecting on the hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of women just like her who are unable to get the medical care they need. pic.twitter.com/X0mk1iJr6q

The Trump administration is treating children & their families at the border like they’re dangerous criminals, keeping them in conditions not fit for any person. Make no mistake: when I return to Washington, I will be fighting to put an end to these life-threatening policies.

"Wyden does not tell viewers that the woman is a Mexican citizen and that she brought her husband and 3-year-old son with her across the border," The Gateway Pundit reported.

An 8 1/2-month pregnant Mexican woman and her family went to an El Paso-Ciudad JuÃ¡rez bridge Saturday to make an asylum claim. @CBP officer Loya said, "We're full." Then Sen. @RonWyden stepped forward and intervened. My story for @WashingtonPost. 1/ https://t.co/YRovgmCpsC

The family met @RonWyden when he toured a Juarez migrant shelter Saturday. Dr. Lauren Herbert, an Oregon pediatrician traveling with Wyden, became alarmed that the woman’s condition might threaten her life and that of her baby. 3/ pic.twitter.com/y8Qy8yGLn3

At the top of the bridge, @CBP officer Castro told Wyden staffers and me that we couldn’t take pictures or video. @ShawDrake1 of @ACLU_BRC told the officer he was wrong and told us to keep recording. Castro asked if he could photograph us. We said sure. He didn't. 5/ pic.twitter.com/HCXOrVY9I8

After @RonWyden intervened, the family was allowed to go to the port of entry and begin the asylum process. @CBP officials promised him the mother would be taken to a hospital. The family’s status is unclear at the moment. 6/ pic.twitter.com/1FGGv2NBTX

Mexico's infant mortality rate has plummeted since 1960 to the point where the infant mortality rate for Mexican women in Mexico is lower than the infant mortality rate for Mexican women in America.

Wyden's justification for helping to essentially smuggle this woman into America is total BS.
