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.

Trump announces all-out assault on Mexican drug cartels

President Trump announced Wednesday that his administration will be launching an all out assault on Mexican drug cartels and will use the U.S. military to fight the scourge. 

“As governments and nations focus on the Coronavirus, there is a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists, and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain and we must not let that happen,” the President said. “We will never let that happen. Today the United States is launching enhanced counter narcotics operations in the western hemisphere to protect the American people from the deadly scourge of illegal narcotics.”

“We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives,” Trump continued. “In cooperation with the 22 partner nations, the U.S. Southern Command will increase surveillance, disruption, and seizures of drug shipments, and provide additional support for eradication efforts that are going on right now at a record pace.”

“We are deploying additional Navy destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, Coast Guard cutters and Air Force surveillance aircraft, doubling the capabilities in the region,” Trump continued. “Very importantly, our forces are fully equipped with personnel protective equipment, and we have taken additional safety measures to ensure that our troops remain healthy.”

So it seems that Trump can walk and chew gum, take the reins of the Wuhan coronavirus, and deal with the Mexican drug cartels all at the same time. 

Joe Biden, on the other hand, is doubtful.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said, “Today at the president’s direction, the Department of Defense in close cooperation with our interagency partners began enhanced narcotics separations in eastern Pacific oceans and the Caribbean sea.”

The reason the cartels have gone maritime is because the borders have been, in effect, closed down except for commerce.

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: enhanced operations will keep pressure on the drug cartels during coronavirus pandemic.

According to the DEA, the most recent threat assessment guide says the cartels continue to be by far, the greatest criminal threat to face the U.S. and are responsible for the huge majority of illicit drugs that are in the U.S. This includes heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana.

DOJ arrests hundreds in Mexican drug cartel

A major bust on a Mexican drug cartel operating in the United States has been performed by the Department of Justice in what is known as "Project Python,"
Thus far, there have been over 600 arrests and 350 indictments for serious crimes. The operations of Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) were at the center of the operation, which was led by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

“Project Python marks the most comprehensive action to date in the Department of Justice’s campaign to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately destroy CJNG,” Criminal Division Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski announced.

He continued: “When President Trump signed an Executive Order prioritizing the dismantlement of transnational criminal organizations, the Department of Justice answered the call and took direct aim at CJNG. We deemed CJNG one of the highest-priority transnational organized crime threats we face. And with Project Python, we are delivering results in the face of that threat for the American people.”

Along with the arrests, the Treasury Department issued sanctions on businesses linked to the cartel this week.

"The United States is committed to preventing and combating narcotics trafficking globally. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) yesterday designated four Mexican businesses pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act) due to their links to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) and the Los Cuinis Drug Trafficking Organization (Los Cuinis), two of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in Mexico," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released in a statement earlier this week.

"The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property within the United States, or within the possession or control of any U.S. person, which are owned or controlled by designated individuals or entities. The Kingpin Act also generally prohibits transactions or dealings by U.S. persons, or persons within the United States, in property or interests in property of designated individuals or entities," he continued.

Hopefully, this will be the start of the eradication of the nation's drug problems that have caused the deaths of so many Americans.
