National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd says 240 miles of the southern border are "left completely open" at any given time, leaving criminal cartels opportunities for drug or human trafficking.
Drugs cartels will control the U.S. border once the Biden administration lifts Title 42 at the end of May, warns Border Patrol union chief Brandon Judd.
The Biden administration is expected to terminate the Title 42 authority, which allows U.S. immigration law enforcement officials to remove certain categories of migrants on the spot to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
"We are ultimately going to wave the white flag of surrender," said Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, during a briefing of House Republicans. "The cartels are going to control our borders.
"They're going to create gaps in our coverage and going to cross more of their drugs, their fentanyl — and more of our U.S. citizens are going to die simply because this administration doesn't want to give the proper policies to protect U.S. citizens."
Judd warned that returning to a "catch-and-release" policy of releasing migrants apprehended at the border and ordering them to report to court at a later date is not a sufficient policy.
"Catch-and-release is the single biggest driver of illegal immigration," he said. "If we reward people for violating our laws, people are going to continue to come."
Judd said 240 miles of the southern border are "left completely open" and unguarded at any given time, leaving cartels opportunities for expanded drug and human trafficking.
"They exploit our policies to create these gaps of 240 miles," he said.
Chris Cabrena, vice president of the union for the Rio Grande Valley Sector, said the border patrol does not know exactly how many migrants are entering the U.S. undetected.
Under questioning from New York GOP Rep. John Katko, Judd said the minimum amount migrants and their family members pay drug cartels to enter the U.S. illegally is $4,000.
Given the record illegal encounters at the border this year, plus ending Title 42, Judd said cartels will be making enough money to "buy governments if they want to do that — that's how dangerous this situation is getting."
there are several cartels controlling Washington DC...
Why not just pull the border guards off of the border and make deals with the cartels to do the job? We should make use of the cartels’ vast border talents and experience.
This is from The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. They are posting several of these every day. I have been told that the Mexican cartels are paying kids in their teens & 20s a $1000.00 or more to make a run from the border to the sanctuary cities of Tucson & Phoenix. I have also heard it was $1000.00 per wetback. No one knows how many do not get caught. 90%??? I like Brandon Judd but I think he is wrong about the Mexican Cartels. I think they already own the border and it is simply a matter of time until we start talking about the American Cartels.
“Operation Safe Streets Makes Apprehensions”
“On Saturday April 2, 2022 at approximately 1:15 am, Cochise County Deputies working with the Safe Streets task force conducted a traffic stop on a 2010 Dodge Avenger at milepost 21 on Davis Road.
The driver, 34 year old Francisco Canche (US citizen) from Surprise was found to be transporting four undocumented migrants.
All subjects were and vehicle turned over to US Border Patrol for processing.”
They already do...
you can bet that many in DC and elsewhere are awash in cartel money right now, why else would they be turning a blind eye to the largest land invasion in history that is occurring on our border.
Cartels already control the border.
And Amnesty Senators still sing the siren song of amnesty to draw more here.
How retarded do you have to be to vote for Amnesty Senators?
I guess I should ask South Carolinians....
Isn’t that what the cartels are paying dems for ???????
Why not just pull the border guards off of the border and make deals with the cartels to do the job? We should make use of the cartels’ vast border talents and experience.
