Former Mexican Law Enforcement Officer Ed Calderon Explains Cartel Terrorism
PragerU ^ | December 20, 2023 | Marissa Streit & Ed Calderon

Posted on 12/20/2023 6:31:49 AM PST by Twotone

Why isn’t the U.S. doing more to secure our borders? Ed Calderon spent 12 years policing the most violent drug cartels. PragerU CEO Marissa Streit questions him about his experience in Mexico, his concern over America’s open borders, and how our enemies are working with criminal organizations to destabilize the United States. Ed says we have a moral obligation to warn our citizens of imminent danger.

No surprise here; someone is paying off politicians who want to keep the border open for a free flow of drugs into the Country across the border without restriction.

I wonder if Ed understands that the CIA is the largest drug cartel?

And, unfortunately, a lot of businesses like the cheap labor - homebuilders, agriculture, food service, health care, unskilled manufacturing, landscaping, etc. At the least, they do not oppose the supply of cheap labor.

The interview covers lots more. All very interesting & every American should be aware of it. Just horrifying what is going on in this world.

“At the least, they do not oppose the supply of cheap labor”

Because they HAVE to.

If your competitor is undercutting you with lower costs, then he gets the business. So you HAVE to compete by hiring at the same rate or lower.

Unless everyone respects the rules - you can only hire citizens or lawful permanent residents - then this is the iron rule you have to live by: hire the cheapest labor possible.

My guess is Cartels are working with Chinese/democrat traitors who sell out our country for cash, diamonds, young children and other 'favors'...

Ever wonder how Democrat 'public servants' come to DC as middle class citizens and within a few short years they're multimillionaires?

Maybe Biden and his whore monger son have some insights into this issue... Some New York Times bimbos and pretentious 'men' can interview them at the Biden Beach House... and see if they can figure out a way to blame this all on Trump.

No, Russian mob and Chinelse triads are each bigger in drug smuggling than we can imagine.

The CIA controls all the other cartels. They are the capo de tutti of the drug cartels. How do you think they fund their clandestine operations? Remember Air America? That was CIA drug running from Cambodia. No drugs come across the southern border that the CIA doesn’t allow to come.

If the U.S. had a real “free press”, instead of the chained-to-the-Left media we have, the interview with the former Mexican officer would be on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC major primetime news and their Sunday talking heads shows.

Instead, you can only get the truth in all the alternative media sources.
