The Mexican cartels are thriving on the border. At one end of the border, they’re moving in dope to poison our country and on the other end, they have our agents preoccupied with droves of illegal migrants, most of them helpless kids.
In addition to the economic and national security crises created by President Biden’s open-border policies, the migrants who are attracted by those policies are horribly abused along the way. Derek Maltz, the former special agent in charge of the Justice Department’s Special Operations Division, explains how cartels use the flood of migrants to overwhelm our border security and move their illegal drugs and other contraband into the U.S. “And let’s not forget how much they’re charging the migrants to get here,” he says. “Now we see, for the first time, that they’re tagging the migrants like they’re cattle to make sure they’re paying the fees.” Here’s more with Maltz and Sara Carter.
