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.

Well, if the recent past is any guide, I would suspect that Biden is getting kickbacks from all this daily income, as I am sure the Cartels are both appreciative and generous with their number one benefactor. No surprise.

[Obadiah]

Dump ‘em all in Maine... you know, as an act of bi-partisanship.

[proust]

Something like that could ruin her whole afternoon. 😢

Senator Collins: I Toured the Border. Cartel Members Taunted Us

Who gives a Flying Leap? I mean, you and your RINO friends regularly taunted patriots and natural born citizens who only want an honest government and lower taxes.

[SMARTY]

“Cartel Members Taunted Us.”

He got off easy

[Liz]

"Oppressed" Central Americans pay coyotes a huge $6000 to get them across the border.

REALITY CHECK The calculated border-jumpers figure their ROI riding the gravy train is worth several times that amount.

The parasites have no compunction about sucking off the backs of struggling US taxpayers.

[dfwgator]

Even worse, they used......Sarcasm.

They knew all the tricks: dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire.

“cartels are making approximately 18 million a day”

Hey, Pedro you better make sure you wet the beak of

“The Big Guy”

[PIF]

Did Pedro Zeta hand her her latest payoff?

[Jane Long]

She helped usher in this nightmare.

[kjam22]

I would taunt her too.... but for a different reason

[dandiegirl]

Thanks to people in government like her, the cartels aren’t the only ones taunting us and it’s very dangerous. They see our nation as more concerned about the effects of slavery from 150 years ago as the idiotic thing that it is. Meanwhile, China is educating their students in a far superior manner and we will pay the price one day.

[Sirius Lee]

Yeah, but at least Orange Man Bad not tweeting, right collins?

[TexasGator]

They don’t pay 6k upfront.

[monkeyshine]

Yeah, after I posted I realized they are probably indentured servants for years, sending a fat chunk of their earnings back to the cartels.

[Fightin Whitey]

The Cartels own and run Mexico and our border with them.

Spose we could give them Californicatia and call it even?

[Intar]

No, I want to keep California despite all of the evil lunatics who run it. That can be changed with effort.

[GOPJ]

Cartels - filling up the kiddie whore houses ... bringing in fresh drug dealers and playing democrats for ... for... Hey, anyone know what democrats are getting out of this? (other than the obvious...)
