Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins toured the U.S.-Mexico border overnight with a delegation led by Texas Republican Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn. The trip continues through Mission, Texas today with a boat tour, but they've already seen the crisis first hand.
At $6000 per person with 3000 crossings in a 24 hour period, cartels are making approximately 18 million a day.
Townhall's Julio Rosas has been reporting from the border for weeks and has watched human smugglers bring illegal immigrants across the Rio Grande in rafts.

Didn’t she vote for the confused health sexretary?
Yes, $6000 goes a long way down there. I’ve built houses (Amore ministry with our teens as free labor) and our cost for materials for a 10X20 “house” was around $1200.
Maybe her alarm clock finally went off.
You forgot the /sarcasm tag...... :-)
Yes, the little migrant children...For it was THEY who so taunted our beloved Ms. Collins!
In defense of the Cartels, I’d taunt Susan Collins if she showed up here.
Don’t count on it.
Even they can’t stand you susan!
Jeeze, Sen. Collins! Can’t you see that the Cartels are just victims of American oppression and simply trying to scratch out a living selling girls (and boys) at the border? You’re empathy-tank must be running low!
Great point. Wish an honest reporter would challenge Biden on the lie that they are coming here “because they are starving”
I remember when Dr Jill Biden visited the migrant camps in Mexico in 2019 and she promised to unite all the separated families.
The cartel members taunted her?
With that dark plastic?
Oh, wait.....
That’s tinted.....sorry.
About time this RINO wakes up to the mess she tacitly supported. I hope Old Joe sends a train load of illegals to Maine with 30% being COVID positive.
She’d know she’s been taunted for years by members of her own party, but she’s had her head so far up her ass that she couldn’t hear it.
Too bad that is ALL they did, you damn witch
Ditto globalist bundler Cornyn
Slo Joe is gonna send boatloads to ME to make sure ME is NEVER a Red or Purple State again.
And maybe send 10's of thousands to Kennybunk, Kennybunk Port, or better yet Portland.
Ya got the housing, infrastructure, and safety net programs to handle them?
I didn't think so.....
Trump was NOT owned by anyone. That's why both parties took him out.
It appears most of Congress is either funded by Cartel money or under threat from them. The only viable solution to this is to eradicate the cartels like we did ISIS. Turn the US military loose on them....no survivors. Of course the government won't do that....
She’s not my favorite senator by I respect her for going down on this trip.
America is a laughing stock. Only the corrupt media pretends to take this president seriously.
If there were any true ‘right wing militias’ they’d be in the border shooting these coyotes, etc. All hat and no cattle, always have been.
