Tulsi Gabbard: ‘We Do Not Have a Nation If We Do Not Have Borders’

JOEL B. POLLAK

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) told Breitbart News on Thursday morning that “we do not have a nation if we don’t have borders.”

Gabbard, appearing with Breitbart News’ editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on Sirius XM Patriot 125, is among the ten Democratic presidential candidates who have qualified for the fifth debate Nov. 20.
She fielded a variety of question from Marlow, including questions about domestic policy, starting with immigration.
“The reality is that we do not have a nation if we don’t have borders,” she said. “It’s a false choice for people to say you’re anti-immigrant if you support secure borders. That’s just not the case.”
Gabbard is one of the only candidates who has opposed decriminalizing illegal immigration, and who has opposed providing free health care and free college tuition to illegal aliens.
She has criticized President Donald Trump’s immigration policy, but also departed from the radical stances of her rivals. She declared in the second Democratic presidential debate: “We will have to stop separating children from their parents, make it so that it’s easier for people to seek asylum in this country, make sure that we are securing our borders and making it so that people are able to use our legal immigration system by reforming those laws.”
On Thursday, she told Breitbart News that it was possible to achieve a balance: “I think that we can and we must have a secure border policy that’s effective and works, and also reform our immigration system so that it works for our country. It can be a safe and secure border along with humane immigration policy and achieve both objectives.”

Drug Flows Increasing at SW Border, DHS Official Says; Fentanyl Seizures Up 20%, Meth Up 200%

By Susan Jones |

On Tuesday, as the nation learned about the murders of nine American women and children at the hands of Mexican drug cartels, the Senate Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on threats to the homeland, including some that emanate from Mexico.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) noted that the apprehension of illegal immigrants crossing the Southwest Border has declined somewhat from earlier highs, but the drug flow has not slowed.
"We have seen it increase," David Glawe, the chief intelligence officer and under secretary at the Department of Homeland Security told Portman.
Just to give you the numbers from 2017 to 2019, so you know what we are dealing with on the narcotic flows, we have seen a 40-percent increase in cocaine from seizures at the Southwest border.
We have seen a 20-percent increase in fentanyl. We have seen a 30-percent increase in heroin, and to your point, we have seen a 20-percent increase in methamphetamine -- and that is in addition to the emergency on the border we had with the migrant flows...
So we have a crisis at the Southwest border and it is all based on moving people and goods illicitly across the border. And that's what it is about, cartels are about moving goods and people across the Southwest border.
Glawe said the drug seizure percentages "are probably low."
"That is what we are catching," he said. "So we have seen those increases in the last two years, and the cartels are a sophisticated business about moving supplies in the United States. They are as good as any major business," Glawe said, comparing them to a Fortune 500 company in terms of profits.
He also mentioned the cartels' "relationships 

with China," which is moving its fentanyl 

production to Mexico. "It is very 

sophisticated, very robust, and constantly 

changing and dynamic," Glawe said.

Portman said Americans' demand for the illicit drugs is also "key."
"We have done a lot of work on that, we will continue to on prevention and recovery programs, treatment -- but we have got to do something to deal with the flow," Portman said.
The senator said in the streets of Columbus, Ohio, crystal meth "is less expensive than marijuana and deadly, and so we would appreciate any input you have as to how we can do a better job to reduce that supply, at a minimum."
Glawe said reducing the supply requires a "sophisticated approach that goes just beyond law enforcement. It is partnership with our U.S. intelligence community partners, our Mexican intelligence community partners, the Mexican military as well as our military, and that partnership is robust and we have a very good relationship with our Mexico partners, but it is really upping the game and a strategy to impact these groups that is going to have to go city by city, state by state."
'Awash in meth'
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told Glawe that his state is "absolutely overwhelmed" with meth coming across the Southwest border. "I mean, there is not a community in my state -- urban, rural, north, south, east, west --that is not just a wash in meth.
"You pointed out that between, I think it was 2017 and 2019 that the southern border apprehension is up over 200 percent for meth," Hawley told Glawe. "Did I hear you say to Senator Portman that the meth apprehensions and other drug apprehensions have continued to increase even as border apprehensions of illegal individuals has decreased. Is that--is that right?"
"That is correct," Glawe said. "And again, this is a two-year snapshot, so it was cocaine, 20 percent (increase in seizures); fentanyl, 20 percent; heroin, 30 percent; and methamphetamine, 200 percent, and that's at the border. That's at the border where we are seizing that. That's in addition to the migration challenges we've had."
Glawe said the cartels "control what goes across and what does not go across. And it is all based on money of moving people and goods."
Hawley asked Glawe what needs to change to more effectively slow the flow of drugs into the United States.
Glawe repeated his earlier response about the U.S. law enforcement partnering with Mexican agencies and the Mexican military in some of Mexico's "lawless" areas.
"But that also has to be hand in glove with our demand," Glawe said. "The U.S. is a high demand for narcotics. So it's a-- it's a joint process, and it's in that realm of having that partnership with our Mexican counterparts in that space to identify the bad and fill it with the good."

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S BILLIONAIRES’ GLOBALIST EMPIRE requires someone as ruthlessly dishonest as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama to be puppet dictators.

1.     Globalism: Google VP Kent Walker insists that despite its repeated rejection by electorates around the world, “globalization” is an “incredible force for good.”

2.     Hillary Clinton’s Democratic party: An executive nearly broke down crying because of the candidate’s loss. Not a single executive expressed anything but dismay at her defeat.

3.   Immigration: Maintaining liberal immigration in the U.S is the policy that Google’s executives discussed the most.


HILLARY CLINTON’S GLOBALIST VISION:


SURRENDER OF OUR BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX AND SUCKING IN 

GLOBAL BRIBES FOR THE PHONY CLINTON FOUNDATION


Even though it has gone virtually unreported by Corporate media, Breitbart News has extensively documented the Clintons’ 
longstanding support for “open borders.” Interestingly, as the Los Angeles Times observed in 2007, the Clinton’s praise for 
globalization and open borders frequently comes when they are 
speaking before a wealthy foreign audiences and donors.

“I believe that if Hillary had been elected she would have found a way to give amnesty and eventually citizenship to all the millions of Hispanics who are now here illegally and would have, in theory, have opened the border so that more and more could cross and be eligible to vote, until an undefeatable voting block would have been created, putting a more and more progressive electorate into power.” CHARLIE DANIELS

When Mexican Cartels Slaughter Americans
Weeks earlier, Senate declared: ‘No emergency on the border.”
 
Michael Cutler

Once again it appears that the violent Mexican drug cartels have committed a horrific mass murder.  Their tactics could have been taken from the playbook of ISIS or al Qaeda.  Initially news reports expressed the possibility that the killers may have mistaken those killed for members of an adversary cartel.  However, the facts don’t support it.  Children, including infants were among those shot and burned while strapped into their car seats.
The crime scene stretched for miles and more than 200 shell casings were recovered.
The November 6th CBS News report, Mexico arrests armed man with possible link to ambush on U.S. family that left 9 dead included this excerpt that points to a deliberate attack on the victims:
As CBS News correspondent Mark Strassmann reports, the Sonora prosecutor's office said the person arrested was found in a vehicle with two other people who were bound and gagged. Those unidentified individuals were rescued, and four assault-style weapons, spent magazines and high-caliber ammunition, were seized. Two vehicles were seized separately, including one said to have been armored.
Of course, while all of the facts are not yet known, what cannot be ignored is that there are terror training camps in the Tri-Border Region of Brazil linked to Hezbollah, Hamas and other Middle Eastern terrorist organizations.  It has been widely reported that human trafficking organizations and drug cartels throughout Latin America have been working in close coordination with Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terrorist organization.
I addressed several of these worrying connections in my article Jihad At The Border.
Following this most recent slaughter of innocent Americans, in Mexico, President Trump offered to provide Mexico with assistance but the President of Mexico declined the offer.
Violence in Mexico, particularly at the hands of the drug cartels is as commonplace as sunrise and sunset and has been well-documented.  Indeed, on February 21, 2018 Forbes published a report, Mexico: Where More Americans Are Murdered Than In All Other Foreign Countries Combined that included this cautionary excerpt:
Advisories released last month by the U.S. State Department tell Americans not to set foot in five Mexican states — Sinaloa, Colima, Michoacan, Guerrero and Tamaulipas — because of violent crime. Traveling to those states is as dangerous, according to the State Department's safety ratings, as traveling to Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq. And Americans with plans to go to 11 other Mexican states should “reconsider,” the agency says.
Most recent State Department data may also cause travelers to pause before booking a trip to Mexico. In 2016, according to my analysis of the data, more Americans were reported killed by homicide in Mexico than the combined total of Americans killed by homicide in every other country abroad.
Nevertheless, on October 16, 2019 I wrote an article, The Senate Voted to End Emergency on the Border, that was predicated on a September 25, 2019 Wall Street Journal news report, Senate votes to end border emergency under which Trump redirected military funds to wall construction.
I noted in my article that Hezbollah, ISIS, gangs and the drug cartels hadn’t gotten the memo but had no idea how prescient that point would become in mere days.
It is unfathomable that given all of the available facts, many of which have been provided in numerous Congressional hearings, that our political leaders could possibly conclude that there is no emergency on that dangerous border that undermines national security and public safety and that the construction of a border wall should be a major priority along with other essential measures to imbue the immigration system with meaningful integrity.
On October 17, 2019, one day after my previous article about the Senate vote to end the border emergency was published, The Guardian reported, El Chapo: Mexican police capture then release drug boss's son after battle with cartel.
I remind you that El Chapo Guzman was successfully prosecuted for massive drug smuggling crimes in the Eastern District of New York.  In my earlier commentary, New York City: Hub For The Deadly Drug Trade, I opined that NYC’s“sanctuary” policies had attracted the cartels to create a major hub for its drug operations in NYC in spite of the fact that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) is one of the largest and most sophisticated, well-equipped and well trained police departments in the United States, if not the world. 
Additionally, not all aliens who are smuggled into the United States through Mexico are from Latin America.
On October 31, 2019 the Justice Department issued a press release, Human Smuggler Indicted On U.S. Charges and Arrested as Part of Brazilian Takedown of Significant Alien Smugglers that included this excerpt:
Saifullah Al-Mamun aka Saiful Al-Mamun, 32, was arrested in Brazil.  Al-Mamun is charged in a superseding indictment unsealed today in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas – Laredo Division, charging him with eight conspiracy and alien smuggling counts.  The enforcement operation included the execution of multiple search warrants and the additional arrests of seven Brazil-based human smugglers on Brazilian charges: Saifullah Al-Mamun, 32; Saiful Islam, 32; Tamoor Khalid, 31; Nazrul Islam, 41; Mohammad Ifran Chaudhary, 39; Mohammad Nizam Uddin, 28; and Md Bulbul Hossain, 36.
According to the indictment, Al-Mamun is alleged to have housed the aliens in São Paulo, Brazil and arranged for their travel through a network of smugglers operating out of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico to the United States. In return for smuggling the aliens into the United States, Al-Mumun and his two co-conspirators, are alleged to have arranged to be paid in Mexico, Central America, South America, Bangladesh, and elsewhere.
Mexico stands on the precipice of becoming a failed state.  That dysfunctional and extremely violent country shares a two thousand mile border with the United States providing the drug cartels, transnational gangs, human traffickers and others who pose a threat to America and Americans with easy access.  Nevertheless, given all of the foregoing, leaders of the radicalized Democratic Party and even their candidates for the Presidency have called for an end to immigration law enforcement and the decriminalization of immigration law violations.
Democrat mayors and governors have implemented “Sanctuary” policies that obstruct immigration law enforcement and resulted in the release of violent aliens in custody even when detainers were filed by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) all too often with deadly consequences.
Republicans have refused to provide President Trump with the funds and backing to not only construct a secure barrier along the border but to take other steps to counter the clear and present dangers we face.
Court decisions have stymied the administration’s efforts to counter these clear and present threats.
These actions have aided and abetted the drug cartels and resulted in the massive loss of life in the United States of Americans and immigrants alike.  Clearly the leaders of the cartels have been embolden by the betrayal of America at the hands of its own “leaders.”
As I stated during one of my first Congressional hearings, we only get one opportunity to make a first impression.  Our borders and immigration laws provide that first impression for millions of people around the world.  Today our politicians are sending a clear message, violations of our borders and our laws will not only be tolerated but rewarded.
That is one hell of a dangerous message that should earn them the cartels’ MVP award!
