THE DOCTRINE OF THE N.A.F.T.A. GLOBALIST DEMOCRATS IS TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WITH ENDLESS WAVES OF INVADING 'CHEAP' LABOR SUBSIDIZED WITH WELFARE FUNDED BY TAXES ON MIDDLE AMERICA.
In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elites’ opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) said Monday evening that if the infamous Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade is overturned, she would “immediately call for a special session to save lives and guarantee that every unborn child has a right to life in South Dakota.”
Noem’s announcement comes as a preliminary decision by Justice Samuel Alito to overturn Roe v. Wade appears to have been leaked from the Supreme Court.
The decision, if legitimate, expressly overturns Roe as well as Planned Parenthood v. Casey with Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — a case many on both sides of the debate saw as the most likely chance of overturning the 1973 case that has led to the deaths of millions of American babies.
Noem’s plans are part of what is likely to be a movement among state Republican leaders to end abortion in their states entirely, no longer having to attempt to thread the needle to be within the confines of Roe and Casey.
“The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting,” the potential decision reads.
“We hold that Roe v. Wade must be overruled,” it continues. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely—the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Abortion advocates are lauding the potential leaker, with some calling this person “brave” for taking an “[unprecedented] step of leaking a draft opinion to warn the country what’s coming.”
Others are much more concerned about the future institutional credibility of the nation’s High Court, saying, “It’s impossible to overstate the earthquake this will cause inside the Court, in terms of the destruction of trust among the Justices and staff. This leak is the gravest, most unforgivable sin.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Biden administration's oilest, slipperiest, most mendacious cabinet member, was put through the congressional wringer Wednesday and Thursday, over his "turnstyle" border policies as he well should have been.
Former Vice President Joe Biden will nominate Alejandro Mayorkas to run the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite his role in creating huge Latin American migration and his involvement in several visas-for-sale scandals.
Psaki: The Number 1 Job of the President, VP, DHS Secretary Is to Keep the American People Safe

(CNSNews.com) - DHS Secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that the number one job of President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is to keep the American people safe, and the fact that 42 people on the terror watchlist were detained at the border is an indication that they’re doing their job.
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked, “So, the DHS secretary is now talking about people on the terrorist watchlist crossing the border into the U.S., and he says, ‘We know where those 42 are.’ Why isn’t he saying, ‘We know where those 42 are; they’re in jail”?
PSAKI: Well, Peter, I would really point you to the Department of Homeland Security to get more follow-up details on his comments. I know he’s spoken extensively at a range of hearings and, obviously, on a range of Sunday shows — yesterday — including on Fox, I believe.
DOOCY: So, then what is the president’s priority? Would it be stopping potential terrorist attacks or letting these migrants come in?
PSAKI: Well, again, I think as we noted just a couple of weeks ago when there was reporting about the number of individuals who were on the watchlist being stopped at the border, that that was the Border Patrol doing their jobs, that was the system working, and certainly, part of the role of the Home — Department of Homeland Security is to keep our country safe, keep the American people safe, and I think that’s an indication of Secretary Mayorkas’s work to do exactly that.
DOOCY: But — so if it takes 19 people to carry out the September 11th attacks, what do you guys think 42 people on a terrorist watchlist might be capable of?
PSAKI: Again, Peter, our — the number one job of the president of the United States, the vice president, and certainly the secretary of Homeland Security is to keep the American people safe, and I think a lot of this reporting you’re referencing is an indication that they’re doing their jobs and doing exactly that.
Exclusive — Rebecca Kleefisch: Epidemic Number of Overdoses in Wisconsin Is ‘Owed Directly’ to Border Crisis
Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (R) vowed during an interview with Breitbart News Saturday to put more police officers on the streets of Wisconsin to help combat a rise in drug overdoses if she is elected governor.
Kleefisch spoke specifically about fentanyl, a highly potent opioid that is manufactured illegally, primarily in Mexico and China, and is a leading cause of overdose deaths in the United States.
“Fentanyl is coming across our border in a way we have never seen in our lifetimes,” said Kleefisch, who served as lieutenant governor of Wisconsin alongside Gov. Scott Walker (R) for two terms until 2019. During that time, Kleefisch was appointed cochair of the governor’s task force on opioid abuse.
“Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous drugs, and it is a killer,” Kleefisch asserted. “The epidemic number of overdoses that we see across Wisconsin is owed directly to the crisis at our border.”
Listen:
Drug overdoses are on the rise in the United States, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data. More than 100,000 overdose deaths occurred in a 12-month period through November of last year, and synthetic opioids, which include fentanyl, contributed to most of those deaths, or about 80,000 of them.
In another indication of the growing danger of fentanyl, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 11,201 pounds of the powerful drug at the border in fiscal year (FY) 2021, which is more than double the amount seized in FY 2020 and about four times the amount seized in FY 2019. FY 2022 is on pace with last year’s surge, showing seizures of 5,310 pounds in its first six months.

Law enforcement officials, Kleefisch said, have informed her “that 95 percent of our illicit drugs in Wisconsin are coming up over that border, and those drugs are killing our friends and neighbors. … Our cities all have a problem with drugs, and those drug cartels pass those drugs up over the Mexican border to our American drug gangs, go through our freeway systems, which leads directly to the people of Wisconsin. We’ve got to shut this down.”
Kleefisch, who is hoping to unseat Gov. Tony Evers (D) in this year’s midterms, said she is “law enforcement’s choice for governor.”

The Wisconsin Republican noted the weighty endorsements she has received from the law enforcement sector, including from the Milwaukee Police Association, the Kenosha Police Association, the Wisconsin Fraternal Order of Police, and more than half of the state’s sheriffs.
In terms of her action plan, Kleefisch said southern border control is a priority. “You do it by just going around the federal government, by doing what the Republican governors are doing,” she said, adding she would join onto the newly formed American Governor’s Border Strike Force with most other Republican governors if she were elected to office.
Kleefisch said she would also bolster police presence in the Badger State by adding 1,000 more officers to the state’s police force.
“Even after you shut down that type of drug trade, you need to shut down the selling of drugs. You need to shut down the human trafficking where it’s already happening and where it’s spreading,” Kleefisch said. “That means we need more cops on the streets.”
Kleefisch’s comments on tackling drug abuse come as she has made the broader issue of crime a focus of her campaign. Her positions stand in contrast to those of Evers, who gained a reputation in 2020 for sympathizing with Black Lives Matter protesters and rioters, some of whom pushed aggressive anti-police sentiments and ravaged Wisconsin’s small city of Kenosha.
“Tony Evers’ rhetoric has discouraged people who stand on the thin blue line every single day,” Kleefisch said. She added that Evers “would rather pander to far fringes of the woke left than he would protect the communities of the state of Wisconsin.”
The apprehension of migrants illegally entering the U.S. between ports of entry along the southwest border set an all-time record for April arrests as agents took more than 201,000 into custody, according to unofficial sources within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The report also reveals back-to-back months where Border Patrol agents apprehended at least 200,000 migrants.
A source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed to Breitbart Texas that Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 201,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border in April between ports of entry. CBP reports dating back to the Clinton administration show the previous high for April apprehensions was slightly more than 180,000.
The April apprehensions reported are down slightly from March when agents apprehended more than 221,000, CBP reports indicate. The back-to-back months of more than 422,000 migrants represent a nearly 20 percent increase over the near-record levels of last year. During the same two months in 2021, agents apprehended just over 352,000.
At the current rate of apprehensions, Border Patrol agents took approximately 6,900 migrants into custody every day during the past two months. If these migrants were placed into a newly built city, it would have a greater population than Arlington, Texas, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
While only slightly, the Rio Grande Valley Sector remains the busiest of the nine southwest Border Patrol sectors, the source revealed. Agents in the southeast Texas sector apprehended approximately 41,600 in April. The Del Rio Sector continued as a close second with nearly 41,000 arrests. The El Paso, Yuma, and Tucson sectors rounded out the top five with approximately 30,000, 27,000, and 25,000 respectively.
If the Biden administration carries out its plans to end Title 42 later this month, the apprehensions of migrants along the southwest border are anticipated to jump from the current level of nearly 7,000 per day to more than 18,000 per day, DHS officials stated in a report reviewed by Breitbart Texas.
Since the beginning of the current fiscal year (October 1, 2021), Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.2 million migrants. These numbers do not include migrants classified by Border Patrol as “got-aways.”

GOP Senator: Border Is 'Raging Out Of Control' Due To Biden
Juan Orlando Hernández, aka JOH, 53, the former President of Honduras, will make his initial appearance tomorrow, April 22, before Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron in federal court in New York after being extradited today from Honduras. A federal court unsealed drug-trafficking and weapons charges today in a superseding indictment against Hernández.
The indictment charges that from at least in or about 2004, up to and including in or about 2022, Hernández, the former two-term President of Honduras, participated in a corrupt and violent drug-trafficking conspiracy to facilitate the importation of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of cocaine into the United States. Hernández allegedly received millions of dollars to use his public office, law enforcement, and the military to support drug-trafficking organizations in Honduras, Mexico, and elsewhere.
It is more than a bit ironic that the DOJ would pursue and tout the prosecution of an alleged high level drug trafficker while simultaneously the Biden administration has done everything imaginable- and even unimaginable, to undermine the security of the U.S. Southern border though which unprecedented quantities of deadly drugs and unprecedented numbers of illegal aliens easily flow into the United States.
As horrendous as this situation is, even as you read my commentary, the Biden Administration is preparing to terminate the protection provided by Title 42 that was implemented by the Trump administration as one of the measures he implemented to protect Americans against the COVID-19 virus.
While Title 42 addresses illegal aliens, as the number of illegal aliens entering the United States increases and overwhelms beleaguered Border Patrol agents, these agents are forced to deal with this human tsunami and are therefore not able to provide border security to prevent the illegal entry of both illegal aliens and contraband, particular deadly drugs.
Simply stated, the Biden open border policies have enriched the drug traffickers, alien smugglers and human traffickers (often one and the same) immensely.
As a direct consequence, historic numbers of illegal aliens around the world have flooded into the U.S., along with record quantities of narcotics and other contraband, resulting in record numbers drug overdose deaths.
As I noted in my recent article about the prosecution of the former president of Honduras,
The administration’s policies are encouraging and facilitating the flood of deadly narcotics and criminals into the United States while enriching the violent and pernicious drug cartels and human traffickers who, thanks to Joe Biden, now have operational control over America’s borders.
It is worth considering an official statement issued by Attorney General Garland on April 21, 2022 about the extradition and prosecution of Juan Orlando Hernández that at it conclusion included the following excerpt:
The Justice Department is committed to disrupting the entire ecosystem of drug trafficking networks that harm the American people, no matter how far or how high we must go.
As the DEA Administrator will explain in more detail, today’s charges are part of our broader efforts to disrupt the activities of the most violent and extensive drug-trafficking organizations and gangs.
The Justice Department is taking a comprehensive approach to protecting our communities and our country from violent crime and from the scourge of deadly drugs.
We will work to support the communities most impacted by drug addiction and abuse
We will work with our partners to hold drug traffickers accountable for their crimes.
And we will confront corruption and criminal conduct anywhere that undermines the security of the American people.
If the Attorney General is truly committed to combatting violent drug trafficking organizations, as he stated in his own words, “…will confront corruption and criminal conduct anywhere that undermines the security of the American people.”- The obvious question is why doesn’t he and his Justice Department begin at our wide-open southern border?
In point of fact, in this regard, I would call your attention to the Unsealed Criminal Indictment provided by the DOJ concerning this case.
That indictment goes into quite some detail about how allegedly hundreds of tons of cocaine were moved from Colombia and Venezuela to Honduras and the onward to Guatemala. From Guatemala the narcotics was allegedly moved by boats and other means to the United States in coordination of the extremely violent Mexican Sinaloa Drug Cartel. It is more than likely that the drugs were also smuggled across the U.S./Mexican border into the United States.
If the goal of the administration was to combat the huge quantities of narcotics flooding into the United States though this alleged smuggling operations and other operation run by other drug cartels and drug smuggling operations, we are again forced to ask why our border was not made as secure as possible instead of having been all but eradicated?
If the Attorney General is truly committed to protecting America and Americans why has he utterly ignored the importance of our immigration laws to combat transnational criminals, international terrorist organizations and drug cartels and, in so doing, violated the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission that determined that border security is national security??
In that article I called upon my 30 years of real-world experience as a former INS Special Agent. My highly diverse career included a four year assignment as the first INS Special Agent assigned to the Unified Intelligence Division of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration in New York City whereupon I was promoted to the position of Senior Special Agent and assigned to the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF).
During my testimony at one of the first Congressional hearings at which I testified about immigration law enforcement I made the point that you only have one opportunity to make a first impression. For millions of people around the world, the way America enforces and administers the immigration laws provide that first impression because those are the first laws that they are likely to encounter.
The Biden administration’s immigration policies coupled with the insanity of supposed Criminal Justice and Bail Reform have created a very dangerous first impression- particularly to the enemies of our nation and the criminals who seek to ply their respective “trades” here.
In the United States violations of our borders and our laws will not only be tolerated but richly rewarded.
On March 20, 2013 I testified before a hearing conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee on the topic, Building An Immigration System Worthy Of American Values.. As bad as things were under the Obama administration. The Biden Administration policies have made things exponentially worse.
The conclusion of my prepared testimony for that hearing in 2013 will serve as the conclusion for my commentary today:
Law enforcement is at its best when it creates a climate of deterrence to convince those who might be contemplating violating the law that such an effort is likely to be discovered and that if discovered, adverse consequences will result for the law violators. Current policies and statements by the administration, in my view, encourages aspiring illegal aliens around the world to head for the United States. In effect the starter's pistol has been fired and for these folks, the finish line to this race is the border of the United States.
Back when I was an INS special agent I recall that Doris Meissner who was, at the time, the commissioner of the INS, said that the agency needed to be “customer oriented.” Unfortunately, while I agree about the need to be customer oriented what Ms Meissner and too many politicians today seem to have forgotten is that the “customers” of the INS and of our government in general, are the citizens of the United States of America.

(CNSNews.com) - "Mr. Secretary, are you testifying as you sit here today that the southwest border is secure?" Rep. Michael Guest (R-Miss.) asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday.
"Yes, I am," Mayorkas said. "And we are continuing to work to make it more secure."
Illegal immigration is breaking records under President Joe Biden, but Mayorkas cast doubt on the numbers:

Border Town USA: Migrants Busted in Michigan with Mexican Cartel’s 20K Fentanyl Pills
Police in Sterling Heights, Michigan, arrested two illegal immigrants following a vehicle pursuit. The officers found more than 20,000 fentanyl pills allegedly transported for a Mexican cartel.
Sterling Heights police attempted to stop a BMW on April 8. The driver refused to yield, Fox2 Michigan reported this week.
The chase ended when the driver pulled into a dead-end road and fled on foot. Officers arrested him not far from the vehicle.
During a search of the BMW, the officers found more than 20,000 fentanyl pills disguised as OxyContin. In addition, the officers found more than 500 grams of powdered fentanyl.
In addition to the driver, the officers also arrested a female passenger. Both allegedly told the officers they were Mexican nationals in the U.S. illegally and were working for an unidentified drug cartel, WDIV Detroit reported. Officials estimated the street value of the drugs to be in excess of $350,000. They said there was enough fentanyl to kill “thousands of Michiganders.”
The CDC reports that fentanyl is now the leading cause of death between the ages of 18 and 45, according to Families Against Fentanyl.
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott initiated Operation Lone Star to counter the influx of the deadly substance amid border policy shifts by the Biden Administration.
“When you look at the fact that we’ve apprehended enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman, and child in Texas, and the fact that fentanyl is the leading cause of death in the United States for people between the age of 18 and 45,” Abbott said in an exclusive interview with Breitbart in March. “In Texas, more than 1,300 people lost their lives last year because of fentanyl,” the governor added.
“The Texas Military Department said that from March 2021 through earlier this month, its troops near the border confiscated more than 1,200 pounds (540 kilograms) of fentanyl,” the governor said in an AP interview reported by Breitbart. “By comparison, federal authorities reported confiscating about 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms) in 2021 — still a fraction of what entered the country.”

Exclusive — David McCormick: China Must Pay ‘Reparations’ for Deaths of ‘Millions of Americans’ by COVID-19, Fentanyl
David McCormick, a Republican candidate running for the U.S. Senate to represent Pennsylvania, said on Thursday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Matt Boyle that China should pay “reparations” for damage done to Americans via COVID-19 and fentanyl abuse.
He said, “We need to hold China accountable for COVID, and we need to hold China accountable for fentanyl, which is killing people across Pennsylvania, coming across our open borders, and coming into our country, and it’s a huge problem nationally.”
China should not be be protected from sovereign immunity, given the Chinese Communist Party’s complicity in the novel coronavirus outbreak and the human toll wrought by drug abuse related to fentanyl produced in the one-party state, he added.
“China hasn’t been held accountable,” he remarked. “We need reparations on the Chinese for both of those things, or we need to eliminate sovereign immunity so the victims of COVID can can hold China accountable. We lost a million Americans and trillions of dollars of value, and that’s a way we go on the offense with China.”
McCormick called for a decoupling of the American and Chinese economies in “critical industries that are significant strategically” to lessen U.S. dependence on Chinese manufacturing for pharmaceutical products and semiconductors. He included artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing as two other realms requiring government-industry partnerships for the purpose of competing with China.
“We absolutely need to have a whole-of-nation strategy [towards China],” he determined. “I think there are four things we need to do. The first thing is absolutely decouple in critical industries that are significant strategically. … Our pharmaceutical supply chain is dependent on China, but also semiconductors. Semiconductors are at the core of everything, and 90 percent of the world’s semiconductors are manufactured 90 miles from mainland China. A terrible set of strategic decisions led to that point.”
The U.S. should construct domestic microchip manufacturing plants — called “fabs” — as part of a strategy to economically decouple from China, he said.
He continued, “We have to bring those [industries] home. There are steps to do that. … We need to build fabs in the United States and around the world, and we need to double down on that effort. That’s critical [to] be not dependent on China or Taiwan for our semiconductors.”
McCormick said the U.S. must implement industrial policy to compete with China’s mercantilist framework.
He remarked, “There are other key industries as well — artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing — we need to bring those home, and that’s going to require the government to partner with industry to accelerate that, because in China’s case, they’re deeply invested in these industries and that’s why they’ve grown so quickly.”

In Midst of Fentanyl Crisis, Vulnerable Democrats Voted Down Opioid Detection Funding

SHARE
As a record number of Americans died of drug overdoses in early 2021, Senate Democrats unanimously blocked an amendment that would have provided hundreds of millions of dollars in "opioid detection activities" at the southern border.
From April 2020 to April 2021, more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics. An overwhelming majority of those deaths came from opioids, and fentanyl smuggling has surged at the southern border since the start of Joe Biden's presidency. In March, however, Senate Democrats blocked a Republican motion that would have provided "$300 million for U.S. Customs and Border Protection narcotic and opioid detection activities."
That vote came as border crossings that month reached the highest level in 15 years. Law enforcement experts have long warned that Mexican cartels ramp up their drug smuggling operations during periods when Border Patrol faces strained resources, a reflection of how the opioid and border crises are intertwined. Without more dedicated funding for policing, critics of Democratic immigration policies say, gangs south of the border will keep taking advantage of overwhelmed Border Patrol agents.
"In Del Rio, [Customs and Border Protection] went four months without apprehending any hard drugs at a time when we know fentanyl deaths are up, drug deaths are up, so the drugs have to be there," said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge and a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies. "The obvious conclusion to draw is the agents are so overwhelmed in Del Rio they just don't have the opportunity to stop any drugs."
With little evidence that drug activity will recede barring a dramatic change in priorities from the Biden administration, swing-state Democrats will likely face a barrage of attacks on the issue in the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections. Those who voted against the GOP opioid provision include Democratic senators from Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Arizona up for reelection next year. Those four states, much like the rest of the country, have seen opioid overdoses spike in the last several years.
In Arizona, where Sen. Mark Kelly will run for a second term, drug overdose deaths spiked by 33.5 percent in 2020 compared with the previous year. Kelly's office did not respond to a request for comment.
Kelly, like other vulnerable Democrats, has tried to toe a line between calling for more border security and appeasing his party's left-wing base. Even though Kelly voted down the anti-trafficking amendment, he pledged the next month to "continue holding this administration accountable" on immigration after he said the president's address to Congress failed to adequately address the border "crisis."
But Kelly has also voted down other amendments aimed at bolstering border security, including one in February that protected former president Donald Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy and another in May that prohibited the Biden administration from canceling border wall contracts that had already received federal funds. Those votes prompted top border officials to accuse Kelly of merely paying "lip service" to the topic while avoiding concrete action.
"That's the main concern right now—his voting record is in lockstep with Schumer, it's in lockstep with Biden," National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd told the Washington Free Beacon in November. "We continue to have to deal with this chaos at the border, and we're just not getting any support from the Democrats, and that includes Kelly."
According to an October Quinnipiac poll, just 23 percent of Americans support Biden's handling of the "situation at the Mexican border," while 67 percent disapprove. Independent voters also named immigration as their second-most leading issue going into next year's midterm elections.
Are we going to prioritize the interests of liberals who want to replace our militant Normal voters with pliable foreigners and establishment stooges who want to please rich donors by importing countless cheap foreign laborers, or are we going to prioritize the economic security and the physical safety of American citizens by securing our border no matter what it takes?

This is what America will look like with continued open borders with Narcomex. That is the agenda of the Globalist Democrat party for endless hordes of ‘cheap’ labor.
There are many reasons why, for the first time, the government of Mexico would agree to work cooperatively with the United States over an extremely serious immigration-related issue. It is likely, of course that President Trump was not just posturing when he said he would cut off aid to Mexico and other countries who permit the United States to be invaded by illegal aliens.
Under Guzman’s leadership, the Sinaloa Cartel became the largest drug trafficking organization in the world with influence in every major U.S. city.
The allegations against Pena Nieto are not new. In 2016, Breitbart News reported on an investigation by Mexican journalists which revealed how Juarez Cartel operators funneled money into the 2012 presidential campaign. The investigation was carried out by Mexican award-winning journalist Carmen Aristegui and her team….The subsequent scandal became known as “Monexgate” for the cash cards that were given out during Peña Nieto’s campaign. The allegations against Pena Nieto went largely unreported by U.S. news outlets.
New border wall forces smugglers to dig expensive tunnels and launch drones
SAN DIEGO — Top U.S. border officials expect cartels to build more tunnels from Mexico to the United States and increasingly rely on drones for surveillance operations as the 400 miles of new border wall makes it harder to smuggle people and drugs into the country.
Transnational criminal organizations have long used tunnels and drones at the southwest border, but senior Border Patrol officials across the country are bracing for more activity as new 30-foot-tall barrier wall goes up in areas that have long been easy for criminals to cross.
“Don't be fooled into thinking that the cartels and smuggling organizations won't do whatever to try to adapt,” said Anthony Porvaznik, chief of the Border Patrol’s Yuma sector in western Arizona. “We fully expect to see more tunneling activity.”
“Smugglers are in the business to make money,” said Border Patrol’s national chief, Rodney Scott, during a one-on-one tour with the Washington Examiner of the Southern California region. “I definitely think they will, but again, we talk about the wall system all the time … because it's a 30-year, enduring investment that, without it, they wouldn't have to go to drones, they wouldn't have to go to tunnels, they wouldn't even have to go to the port of entry. They were just driving trucks across before, and the overhead expenses for them were significantly lower to just drive across.”
Three types of tunnels are seen on the southern border: rudimentary tunnels comparable to gopher holes that only go several feet deep; those that connect into existing infrastructure systems, like a drainage system; and sophisticated ones that can go as deep as 90 feet. Scott said federal investigators typically learn very early on about the elaborate kind of tunnels and intentionally do not bust them until they are almost complete.
“On average, it takes about a year for them to dig it. It takes engineers, and it takes a lot of money, so if we can literally keep them focused on pouring their money into a hole in the ground, we know about, we'll let it go until right at the end,” said Scott. “We just want to make sure no illegal substances or people get into the U.S.”
In August, federal agents announced the discovery of the “most sophisticated” tunnel ever found at the border. The tunnel was built 25 feet below the sandy grounds of Yuma, Ariz. It was far enough along that ventilation and rail systems had already been installed.

In August, federal agents announced the discovery of the “most sophisticated” tunnel ever found at the border. The tunnel was built 25 feet below the sandy grounds of Yuma, Arizona. It was far enough along that ventilation and rail systems had already been installed. Yuma border officials showed the tunnel to the Washington Examiner. Outside companies are remediating the tunnel, which includes filling it with concrete so that it cannot be used in the future.
Despite Yuma’s recent bust, the San Diego region’s soil composition makes it the most suitable for tunnel builders out of the nine regions by which the Border Patrol divides the southwest border.
“Here, it's soft, so they have to actually line it with wood and hold it up,” said Porvaznik, who is based in Arizona. “In San Diego, they can dig it out, and it's more clay-like material, so it'll stay.”
Yuma border officials showed a recently discovered cross-border tunnel to the Washington Examiner during a regional tour in late October. Outside companies are remediating the tunnel, which includes filling it with concrete so that it cannot be used in the future.

Border officials expected the wall to have an impact on tunneling and included in annual wall funding money for underground systems that can detect disturbances in the soil. In Southern California, Border Patrol has a team that tracks tunnel activity. Border Patrol San Diego Chief Aaron Heitke said intelligence specialists map out warehouses located near the border and go door to door to meet with business owners to get a feel for who may be a threat. The team takes an overt approach, out in public and by asking businesses if they see unusual activity to tip off the Department of Homeland Security. The task force can also track imports and exports, as well as taxes filed to the Internal Revenue Service, to see if a business is a front or conducting legitimate trade.
The tunnel found near Yuma, Ariz., had a rail system built inside that would have been used to move contraband from Mexico into the United States.

“We’re literally kind of mapping out like, ‘Sony has been here forever. It's a legitimate business. We've never had any problems. It's a lower threat,'” said Scott, who previously oversaw the San Diego region. “This warehouse — you’ve got seven businesses in different suites that have been here for years. We know them. They call, they don’t, whatever — you kind of gauge it. And this one turns over every 30 days, every 60 days. That's something we're going to watch.”
In El Paso, where tunnels are less prevalent because of the river and canal systems, agents constantly see drones flying over from Mexico.
“All day long — 24/7 in this area — there’s drones going up and down,” said Border Patrol's El Paso division chief for operations, Walter Slozar. “They’re not using them to smuggle things yet ... We can even tell like when one goes up, ‘Oh, when that one goes up, that’s when something happens over here.'”
Drones surveil agents on the ground and inform smugglers when to send migrants over the border and when agents may be wrapped up elsewhere.
The western Arizona and eastern California regions are also seeing a heavy use of drones but for the smuggling of drugs over the wall. Porvaznik said drones will make up to 30 trips back and forth each night, carrying approximately a kilogram of drugs northbound.
Porvaznik points to a framed photograph in his office that shows an “octocopter,” an eight-propeller unmanned aerial system that goes for $16,000. Border Patrol’s aerial surveillance trucks detected it flying through U.S. airspace near the border transporting 25 pounds of cocaine over the border.
“It’s dark, and they’re silent,” said Porvaznik. “We've had numerous instances of drones working in [the] San Luis area, bringing over load after load, and they just keep making trips all night. At times, they overload them, and they crash. And so, our agents have found them with dope strapped to them."
Yuma agents have been able to track where some drugs are dropped and then pursue drivers who transport it. Agents do not have a way to force a drone and are still in the process of detecting them.

"While other witnesses at Mr. Guzmán’s trial in Federal District Court in Brooklyn have testified about huge payoffs from traffickers to the Mexican police and public officials, the testimony about Mr. Peña Nieto was the most egregious allegation yet. If true, it suggests that corruption by drug cartels had reached into the highest level of Mexico’s political establishment."
The former president of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, took a $100 million bribe from JoaquÃn Guzmán Loera, the infamous crime lord known as El Chapo, according to a witness at Mr. Guzman’s trial. ALAN FEUER

LOS ANGELES – GATEWAY FOR THE LA RAZA MEX DRUG CARTELS
NARCOMEX in LA RAZA-OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES – Western gateway for the MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS and MEXICO’S SECOND LARGEST CITY.
Federal agents raided Q.T Fashion and numerous other businesses in the downtown fashion district Wednesday, cracking down on a scheme that cartels are increasingly relying on to get their profits — from drug sales, kidnappings and other illegal activities — back to Mexico, authorities said.
Nine people were arrested in raids targeting 75 locations, and $90 million was seized — $70 million in cash. In one condo, agents found $35 million stuffed in banker boxes. At a mansion in Bel-Air, they discovered $10 million in duffel bags.
"Los Angeles has become the epicenter of narco-dollar money laundering with couriers regularly bringing duffel bags and suitcases full of cash to many businesses," said Robert E. Dugdale, the assistant U.S. attorney in charge of federal criminal prosecutions in Los Angeles.

Mayorkas: ‘The Cartels Spread Disinformation That Title 42 Does Not Apply to Haitians’

(CNSNews.com) - DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday that the disinformation spread by cartels is a magnet for illegal immigrants coming to the United States, not the process of releasing those with asylum claims into the United States and allowing them to settle into whatever city they want to while they wait for those claims to be heard by an immigration judge.
One example of disinformation that the cartels spread was that Title 42 does not apply to Haitians, the secretary said.
“The cartels spread disinformation that Title 42 does not apply to the Haitians, and that prompts potentially Haitians to try to come to the United States and what do we do? U.S. Customs and border protection - phenomenal enforcement agency - goes on Creole language stations and communicates that Title 42 does apply to Haitians,” Mayorkas told “Fox News Sunday.”
The secretary said that DHS is “not letting people loose, and just letting them come in.”
“You have a process, but that whole process and eventually someone settles in whatever city they're looking to get to is a magnet for more illegal immigration or not?” Fox News host Bret Baier asked.
MAYORKAS: I'm sorry, I don't.
BAIER: The people who come in, and they get to whatever city they want to.
MAYORKAS: I’ll share with you Bret what is a magnet. What is a magnet is the misinformation that the cartels spread to individuals in different countries about what our laws are and what our policies are. That is a magnet, and that is why we counter that.
BAIER: Speaking of misinformation we learned that DHS’s disinformation governance board was coming out and we saw immediate concerns about free speech. You understand some of this pushback?
MAYORKAS: There’s no question, Bret, that we could have done a better job in communicating what it does, and let me share with you what this department of homeland security does and has been doing for years throughout the past administration included. We address disinformation that presents a security threat to the homeland, disinformation from Russia, from China, from Iran, from the cartels.
I’ll give you a real-life example. The cartels spread disinformation that Title 42 does not apply to the Haitians, and that prompts potentially Haitians to try to come to the United States and what do we do? U.S. Customs and border protection - phenomenal enforcement agency - goes on Creole language stations and communicates that title 42 does apply to Haitians.
BAIER: So it sounds a little bit like the global engagement center at the state department, so a little redundant, but here’s the problem–
This is a working– Bret, I really need to clarify. This is a working group that takes best practices to make sure that in addressing disinformation that presents a threat to the homeland that our work does not infringe on free speech, does not infringe on civil rights, civil liberties, It's not about speech. It's about the connectivity to violence. That is what we need to address.
An individual has the free-speech right to spew anti-Semetic rhetoric. What they don't have the right to do is take hostages in a synagogue, and that’s where we get involved.
BAIER: So the president’s pick to lead this is Nina Jankowicz. She’s taking heat for tweets and comments about major news stories - the Hunter Biden laptop, others. The laptop story obviously was blocked from social media outlets, because it was called Russian propaganda until it wasn’t, so do you really think that Jankowicz is anywhere near objective enough for this particular job?
MAYORKAS: Yes I do, and by the way, highly regarded a subject matter expert, and I don't question her objectivity. There are people in the department who have a diverse range of views and they’re incredibly dedicated to mission. We’re not the opinion police. She has testified before Congress a number of times. She’s recognized as a tremendous authority and we’re very fortunate to have her.
BAIER: Was the Steele dossier disinformation?
MAYORKAS: It’s not for me to opine on that.
BAIER: Americans are generally wary of anything that suggests censorship.
MAYORKAS: That’s exactly why we set up this working group to make sure that our work to address a real threat to the homeland, the threat posed by Russian disinformation, the threat posed by Chinese disinformation, by Iranian disinformation, the work that we do does not infringe on people's right of free speech.
That's why this working group was set up, and we will do a better job of communicating about that, and I'm looking forward to testifying before the United States Senate on Wednesday.
