Drug cartels sending thousands to US border to overwhelm it

Mexican drug cartels are not sending their best. They are sending mobs consisting of thousands of migrants each day and having them hand themselves over to Border Patrol officers in different border towns in order to overwhelm the system and make it easier for the cartels to bring in fentanyl and other illicit drugs.

The plan is to overwhelm the already over worked border agents so that the cartel can waltz across the border without a problem in less populated areas, law officials said.

For example, a mob of 2,200 migrants turned themselves over to border officers in Eagle Pass, Texas on Monday morning. While this was taking place, it is likely that drug mules diddy-bopped into the US and brought drugs with them.

Nearly 500 miles away in the western-most tip of the state, El Paso has also been seeing migrant surges in the last week.

Last Thursday, about 1,700 migrants were encountered in a 24-hour period and multiple mobs of migrants, numbering in the hundreds have lined up along the beautiful wall to surrender to officials and claim asylum in the US because it's free stuff for all.

Since Friday, groups comprised of hundreds of migrants who refuse to do things in a legal manner, have been turning themselves over to Border Patrol agents in El Paso, Texas.

The mass self-turn-ins are being fueled by cartels lies including about the Biden administration’s CBP One app to schedule immigration appointments, multiple law enforcement sources told The Post.

“They’re circulating false information that anyone waiting for a CBP One appointment can turn themselves in and get asylum,” one source revealed to the outlet.

Up to 500 mostly Venezuelan asylum-seekers lined up at El Paso Monday to cross into the US, according to local TV station KVIA.

The mix of single adults and families had crossed the border illegally but hope to stay in the US for the free stuff while their asylum cases are heard, a process which usually takes years.

City data showed over 4,000 people were in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody in the city on Monday, The Post reported.

“The way it’s being orchestrated through the cartels, I believe it’s meant to overwhelm the system. The [places] that are being impacted the most are border communities,” former El Paso City Councilmember Claudia Rodriquez told the outlet.

Migrants have also been seen walking along busy roads and highway, while others are working to gather enough money to buy plane or bus tickets out of town.

Cartels unleashed turmoil on the city before, stirring up rumors of the border being open to all back in March and again in April, prompting hundreds of migrants to storm one of El Paso’s international bridges.

“If you’re at the border, go this morning,” a social media screenshot of the rumor said. “Don’t miss this opportunity.’

And we have the Biden administration to thank for this situation.
