An alleged Sinaloa cartel leader admitted President Trump’s aggressive border policies have made the illegal work of the powerful Mexican drug gang more difficult in an interview with CNN.
An anonymous member of El Chapo’s former gang explained that Trump’s immigration and drug policies have put a damper on their black-market tradecraft in a bizarre interview with the news station’s senior national correspondent, David Culver, in the back of an SUV.
“From killing to coordinating smuggling operations, he says he’s done it all,” Culver said, referring to Trump.
“Do you think what President Trump has been doing has been making your job tougher?” He asked the confessed killer and cartel boss.
“Oh yeah. Yeah,” the gang member — dressed in a black mask, sunglasses, black gloves, and a hat to conceal his identity — admitted flatly.
“So it’s becoming more difficult, you think?” Culver prodded.
“Yep,” the supposed gangbanger said.
The CNN report further revealed that cartels are now charging much more to get migrants across the southern US border because of the Trump crackdown on illegal migration.
Border-hoppers are now expected to pay $10,000 each instead of about $6,500 per person prior to the Trump-era policies, according to Fox News.
The hardened criminal said that though he has killed people, he considers himself a good person.
“I did what I had to do,” he said.
In the interview, the Sinaloa cartel leader expressed that he came forward to speak with CNN hoping to deter others from joining drug gangs.

I’l admit that is actually good news. More can be done, but this
“Mexican commerce threatened by Trump.”: Film at 11:00
After El Chapo was incarcerated, he was unable to pay off his gang members and that's when they began calling him "El Cheapo."
Pedo Joe and Falalalalaaa Harris said that there was nothing they could do. Pedo Joe wouldn’t even send his autopen down there near the border to try to stop what was going on.
The Texas DPS are making more arrests than ever before. The difference with Trump is that the arrests are for drug smugglers coming in and cash and guns going out. The border patrol is not hemmed up processing people, and they are now out in the field. No longer are they having to deal with large groups of people coming in. This from the head of Texas DPS yesterday.
From $6500 to $10000 to get across the border.
Those are rookie numbers. We need to make it so hard they charge $100,000
Hope they try the speedboat thing again!
