“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, you’d give him an A-plus, but theAmerican people would give him an F. The crisis at our border was not only entirely predictable, it was predicted. I predicted that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s what’s happened since the election.” SEN. TOM COTTON JUDICIAL WATCH:
“The greatest criminal threat to the daily lives of American citizens are the Mexican drug cartels.”

“Mexican drug cartels are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this country.” JUDICIAL WATCH CUT AND PASTE YOUTUBE LINKS How Cartels Took Over California's Desert and Turned It to Lawless Land | Dawn Rowe

For starters, let's define the "fentanyl crises" for what it really is: Chemical warfare, effectively perpetrated on the American people by the Chinese communist government and their Mexican-cartel allies. This administration's open border, which is clearly an intentional policy, marks Biden and Harris as co-conspirators in what's arguably the CCP's chemical-weapons assault on U.S. citizens. RICHARD MORSE State Department to U.S. citizens: Stay out of MexicoHow's this for buried news among the side effects and unintended consequences of Joe Biden's open borders? The State Department has issued a bone-chilling warning to U.S. citizens to stay the hell out of Mexico. It was a "top-tier" admonishment to not set foot in six Mexican states that tourists love to go to, and to be very careful in all of the remaining ones. According to local San Diego indy news station KUSI: SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The State Department issued the strongest possible ‘do no travel’ warning to six states in Mexico due to threats of crime and kidnapping in the country. All other regions in Mexico are on watch by the U.S. government. As Spring Break approaches, the State Dept. warned that even in resort towns, cartels have established close ties with local businesses. Immigration Attorney Esther Valdes Clayton went live with KUSI’s Lauren Phinney to discuss the crisis South of U.S. borders. The story features an embedded video with Valdes Clayton, speaking in bone-chilling terms about what is happening to Americans as they head on out to tourist hotspots in Mexico for vacation, noting that Spring Break, which is a rite of passage for college students, is around the corner. Valdes Clayton described the horrific story of what happened to a 33-year-old Orange County public defender celebrating his first wedding anniversary in Rosarito Beach, a lovely resort town on the Pacific best known for its fish tacos that's just a short driving distance south of the O.C., San Diego and Tijuana. The media reported the story of Elliot Blair here. What she described, with firsthand information, was not what was reported in the press -- that he died in "an unfortunate accident" as Mexican officials claimed, falling off his hotel balcony or getting drunk and getting knocked out. That was what got reported in the news, at ago, along with a few disclaimers that Blair's family was suspicious that he was killed, but few details were laid out and little else came of the story until a few days ago. Valdes Clayton said that the family investigated what it could and found that Blair's body numerous significant broken bones as if he had been beaten to death, along with rug burns as if he or his body had been dragged through the hotel before being dumped under his balcony window. Blair and his wife had resisted an extortion attempt earlier, which is a significant detail. It's an outrageous attack on Americans and there are a lot of these incidents for the State Department to raise Cain with the Mexicans about, because apparently the Mexicans are in denial, or well, quite likely cartel'ed up and doing nothing. That explains why warnings like this go out and why they are quite likely perfectly plausible. They can't do a thing about these killings and kidnappings and they know the Mexican officials won't, either. Which rather raises more questions about Joe Biden's open borders policies and why there's such a sudden upsurge in attacks and assaults on Americans. Border surges, such as Joe Biden's, are a cash bonanza to Mexico's cartel members. They have made billions off these border surges as migrants pay the "crossing free" if not the human smuggling fee, which can run in the thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars per head. With 2,500 crossing each day into just the El Paso corridor (the San Diego one is said to be even busier) a lot of money is rolling in, and this explains why cartels have grown in size with recruiting, and why they are shutting down border cities in places such as Tijuana, as well as fighting with each other for control of the spoils. It's created a boomtime atmosphere in these areas controlled by the cartels, and activated the remaining criminal element to try to scarf up more for themselves, too. This is not to say that the cartels are not responsible or the killings and kidnappings, too -- most likely, they are. Big money is at stake, and crime is now paying. Valdes Clayton makes this point about money, too. The cartels also know that Joe Biden won't protect Americans through their own border, so they're pretty certain that he's not going to do much to worry them if they shake down visiting Americans for every penny they have, if not kidnap them for ransom, or simply beat them to death as seems to have happened to Blair. A border warning, such as the State Department has issued, is a last-resort measure, given the major trade and tourist ties the U.S. has with Mexico, a throwing up of the hands with a warning to Americans that Biden's influence is nil in Mexico and there is nothing they can do to help if they become targets of cartels. That's a high price for Americans to pay for open-borders based on a president who won't do his sworn job. Here's the scary part: It's not going to get better, and no one should be surprised if it starts spilling over here in more visible cases against Americans completely unconnected to cartels and their activity. It's a chilling prospect, and this lawyer's warning is a bellwether of what's ahead. Image: Screen shot from ABC Good Morning America video, via YouTube
IS THERE ANY DICTATORSHIP THAT HAS NOT KICKED JOE'S ASS ACROSS THE FREEWAY YET??? Biden Admin Weighs Dropping Sanctions on China in Exchange for Fentanyl Cooperation July 24, 2023 The Biden administration may drop sanctions on a Chinese police forensics institute, allowing it access to U.S. technology, to entice China to cooperate in fighting the fentanyl crisis, sources told the Wall Street Journal. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his diplomatic visit to Beijing last month suggested China and the United States create a working group to combat fentanyl. But China has long demanded the United States remove the police institute from its export blacklist before it will cooperate on the drug crisis, and the regime stuck to its position in last month’s meetings. Now, sources told the Journal, the administration is considering complying with China's demand. The Trump administration blacklisted the Chinese Ministry of Public Security’s Institute of Forensic Science more than three years ago for its role in the surveillance and abuse of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang province. The sanctions tool strictly limits access by backlisted companies and organizations to U.S. technology. The U.S. ambassador to China recently claimed the country is not responsible for the U.S. fentanyl crisis, despite the fact that nearly all ingredients for the drug are produced in China. The ingredients, often called precursors, are shipped to Mexican cartels that manufacture the fentanyl and push it across the U.S. southern border. Overdoses from fentanyl have become one of the leading causes of death in the United States. In 2021, there were 71,000 deaths involving synthetic opioids, which were mostly fentanyl. The Biden administration has fought an amendment to Congress’s annual defense bill seeking new information on China’s responsibility for the crisis. The discussions are the latest signals of the Biden administration’s bid for cooperation with China. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen dismissed the idea of "decoupling" with China during her visit to the country earlier this month, instead calling for less sweeping policy moves such as "diversifying critical supply chains or taking targeted national security actions." U.S. special envoy on climate John Kerry traveled to China last week seeking cooperation on climate goals but returned home empty-handed. Published under: China , Fentanyl NAME ONE MEX DRUG CARTEL LORD WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN! EVEN ONE!!! Mexican president to US: Fentanyl is your problem MARK STEVENSON MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction. His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico. The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States. “Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl,” López Obrador said. “Why don't they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?" He went on to recite a list of reasons why Americans might be turning to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick grown children out of their houses and people who put elderly relatives in old-age homes “and visit them once a year.” His statement contrasted sharply with a Thursday tweet from U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar saying a meeting between Sherwood-Randall and Mexico's attorney general was meant “to enhance security cooperation and fight against the scourge of fentanyl to better protect our two nations.” There is little debate among U.S. and even Mexican officials that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the United States is produced and processed in Mexico. In February, the Mexican army announced it seized more than a half million fentanyl pills in what it called the largest synthetic drug lab found to date. The army said the outdoor lab was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state. In the same city in 2021, the army raided a lab that it said probably made about 70 million of the blue fentanyl pills every month for the Sinaloa cartel. “The president is lying,” said Mexican security analyst David Saucedo. “The Mexican cartels, above all the CJNG ( Jalisco New Generation Cartel) and the Sinaloa Cartel have learned to manufacture it.” “They themselves buy the precursor chemicals, set up laboratories to produce fentanyl and distribute it to cities in the United States and sell it,” Saucedo said. “Little by little they have begun to build a monopoly on fentanyl, because the Mexican cartels are present along the whole chain of production and sales.” While it is true that fentanyl consumption appears to remain low in Mexico and largely confined to northern border areas, that may be because the Mexican government is so bad at detecting it. A 2019 study in the border city of Tijuana showed that 93% of samples of methamphetamines and heroin there contained some fentanyl. Saucedo said fentanyl exports to the U.S. are so lucrative for Mexican cartels that they previously had not seen a need to develop a domestic market for the drug. “It is true that fentanyl consumption in Mexico is marginal, but some mid-level cartels have begun selling it in border cities and in big cities like Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey,” Saucedo said. On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham held a news conference, saying he wanted “to unleash the fury and might of the U.S. against these cartels." “The second step that we will be engaging in is give the military the authority to go after these organizations wherever they exist,” Graham said. "Not to invade Mexico. Not to shoot Mexican airplanes down. But to destroy drug labs that are poisoning Americans.” López Obrador said Mexico would not accept such threats, calling them “an insult to Mexico and a lack of respect for our independence and sovereignty.” López threatened to start a campaign in the United States asking Mexicans and Hispanics who live there not to vote for Republicans. “We are going to issue a call not to vote for that party, because they are inhuman and interventionist,” López Obrador said. Security analyst Alejandro Hope said López Obrador appeared trapped between his own “hugs, not bullets” strategy of not confronting cartels — which plays well among his supporters — and increasing U.S. pressure, especially from Republicans. Portraying himself as the defender of Mexico's sovereignty has been an easy out for López Obrador in the past. Hope said the Mexican president may not realize how much the issue of declaring Mexican cartels terrorist organizations could become a conservative rallying cry in 2024, just as former President Donald Trump's call for a border wall was in 2016. “It's the wall, version 2024,” said Hope. “He (López Obrador) believes everybody is as willing to make deals as Trump, but many of these (Republicans) are much more ideological.” “The problem is that it puts the Biden administration in a terrible position, it puts it between the Republicans' intransigence and López Obrador's intransigence,” Hope said. Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's top diplomat, wrote in his Twitter account Thursday that proposals like Graham's would be “catastrophic for bilateral anti-drug cooperation.” “They (Republicans) know that the fentanyl epidemic did not originate in Mexico, but in the United States,” Ebrard wrote. “They know that more work is being done against fentanyl now than ever.” Mexicans, both in government and outside it, are clearly afraid of fentanyl use increasing in Mexico. A civic group has launched a campaign of painting walls with the slogan “Mxsinfentanilo” — “Mexico without fentanyl” — and López Obrador has launched a series of anti-drug TV ads. But once again, López Obrador's government appears to view fentanyl as a U.S. problem. In the ads launched in November, the Mexican government used videos of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood to try to scare young people away from drugs. Mexico Replaces China as Top U.S. Trading Partner Senior economist Luis Torres of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas noted on Tuesday that Mexico has replaced China as the top U.S. trading partner, racking up $263 billion in trade during the first four months of 2023. China had been the top American trading partner since 2014, when it displaced Canada. Torres said Mexico’s rise to the top spot was driven by “fractious U.S. relations with China,” U.S. tariffs imposed on Chinese goods in 2018, and “pandemic-era supply-chain disruptions that altered international trade and investment flows worldwide.”  U.S. President Joe Biden, right, stands with Chinese President Xi Jinping before a meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit meeting, Monday, Nov. 14, 2022, in Bali, Indonesia (AP Photo/Alex Brandon; Screenshot). Manufactured goods were a key element of Mexico’s growing trade with the United States, accounting for $234.2 billion of the $263 billion volume for the first four months of 2023. Trade with Mexico now covers 15.4 percent of all U.S. imports and exports. Canada is actually back in second place, according to Torres, with 15.2 percent of U.S. imports and exports, followed by China with 12 percent. Torres explained that China’s trade with the United States exploded after China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001. What followed was not entirely good news for American consumers, and especially not for American workers:
Besides pulling supply chains away from the iron fist of the crackdown- and lockdown-prone Chinese Communist Party, nearshoring reduces shipping costs and makes it easier to coordinate with factories in the same time zone. Actually moving manufacturing back into the United States is out of the question because of sky-high labor costs, real estate prices, and regulatory burdens, so Mexico has become the nearshoring darling of the Americas.

Torres highlighted the importance of the “maquiladoras,” foreign-run factories that take advantage of cheap Mexican labor for manpower-intensive manufacturing processes. The U.S. automotive industry has long sent massive shipments of parts down to Mexico, where cars are built and returned across the border for sale in the United States. Computer and electronic equipment are catching up to vehicle manufacturing in maquiladoras factories, thanks to the push for nearshoring, and a few other industries are shifting more of their operations to Mexico, although Torres cautioned that Mexico’s manufacturing remains more expensive than China’s, resulting in higher retail prices and/or lower profit margins for U.S. companies. China keeps labor costs down by using forced labor from captive populations, such as the Uyghur Muslims, and workers lucky enough to get paid typically receive very low wages by free world standards.  A protester from the Uyghur community living in Turkey, holds an anti-China placard during a protest in Istanbul, Thursday, March 25 (AP Photo/Emrah Gurel). “While the principal focus of trade policy was once free trade, greater efficiency and lower prices, that may no longer be the case. Today’s global economic relationships encompass a myriad of concerns, among them national security, climate policy and supply-chain resiliency,” Torres concluded. Business Insider (BI) added to Torres’s analysis by suggesting the pandemic taught American consumers to expect very rapid delivery times, making nearshoring and shipping networks that do not have to cross the Pacific Ocean more attractive – a factor BI dubbed the “Amazon Prime Effect.” Regional supply chains also have the beneficial side effect of creating more jobs in the United States, even if the manufacturing is done in other hemispheric nations. For example, analysts say about 40 percent of the parts sent to Mexican factories are made in the United States, while the same can be said for only four percent of the parts used in Chinese factories. BI more somberly noted that some big retailers, such as Walmart, are growing nervous that deteriorating relations with China could abruptly cut off supply chains, so “regionalization” looks safer than “globalization” these days, even if it costs a bit more.  Walmart associate Luis Gutierrez, center, checks out a customer at a Walmart Supercenter in Houston. The trade dispute between the U.S. and China is weighing on the retail sector (AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File). Another BI piece asserted that the costs of shifting manufacturing from China to Mexico should not be underestimated. American consumers might balk at the higher retail prices paid for goods made with cheap Mexican labor instead of incredibly cheap Chinese labor since the average consumer does not spend as much time worrying about fragile transoceanic supply lines and grim Chinese Communist overlords ordering factory shutdowns as professional market strategists do. Investors: Biden’s Mass Migration Inflates Americans’ Housing Costs President Joe Biden’s flood of legal and illegal migrants is inflating the costs that ordinary Americans and their grown children must pay for housing, according to the Wall Street Journal. “Global Migration Boom Keeps Housing Costs High: Surging immigration is boosting rents and supporting home prices, complicating inflation flight,” said the headline above a July 15 article in the Wall Street Journal. The report cited a May study by Goldman Sachs, which said in an email that “rebounding immigration” is helping investors by bumping up housing prices:
 Source: Haver Analytics, Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Similarly, an investigation of 18 countries by Canada’s leading bank, the Bank of Montreal, concluded that a one percent hike in population — via migration births or migration — spikes housing prices by three percent. In an email to Breitbart News:
 Source: BMO Economics, Haver Analytics Establishment media outlets rarely recognize the impact of migration on housing, even when reporters try to cover the overcrowding and crime in taxpayer-funded shelters for migrants. This silence is also seen in many polls that portray immigration as a non-economic issue unrelated to housing or wages. But Breitbart News has extensively covered the huge impact of migration on housing and wages in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries. Since January 2021, President Joe Biden has admitted roughly eight million migrants into the United States, about one migrant for every American birth during the same period. His flood includes roughly 3.2 million migrants welcomed across the southern border, 1.5 million “got-away” people who were allowed to sneak across the border, 800,000 “overstay” illegals in 2022, two million legal immigrants, and more than 500,000 temporary white-collar workers. This Biden flood doubled the nation’s population growth, creating a population shock that was bound to impact housing prices. In the United States, the inflation in housing “was by far the biggest contributor” to inflation in March 2023, said a tweet by Kathy Jones, an economist at Charles Schwab & Co. Her tweeted chart shows the dominant share of shelter inflation in dark blue: The flood of immigrants and the resulting price hikes are pushing up rents along the coasts and in the interior states. USAToday.com reported on July 5:
The high price of city housing also keeps many young Americans in their rural communities, while migrants and their children crowd into urban housing. This process ensures that migrants and their children get the economic opportunities of urban living that would otherwise have gone to Americans’ kids, according to a pro-migration academic, Leah Boustan. “No matter which country their parents came from, children of immigrants are more likely than the children of the U.S.-born to surpass their parents’ incomes when they are adults,” economic historians said in a 2022 article for Time.com. “Of all the worrisome trends in the American economy, the easiest one to turn around with the greatest downstream positives is to stop artificially juicing demand for housing through loose border policies,” Andrew Good, an analyst at NumbersUSA — an immigration reform group — told Breitbart News. Real estate investors have a major influence over the GOP and the Democrat Party. On July 18, the New York Times sketched the huge role of real estate investors in New York politics:
“Most of our elites are dead set against slowing down the [migration] train,” Good said, adding, “Voters have to make an off-ramp for themselves, and even more crucially, for their kids and grandkids.” Extraction Migration The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy. The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow of compliant and hardworking migrants has also pushed many ordinary or less-productive Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and has contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans. The lethal policy sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers. The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans. In many speeches, border chief Alejandro 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 elite opinion about “the values of our country” Mayorkas claims. Migration — and especially labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats. |
