After cartel’s deadly Mexico prison break, fear of escapees fleeing into the US
NY Post ^ | January 5, 2023 | Isabel Vincent

A notorious cartel enforcer, who led a bloody New Year’s Day jailbreak in a Mexican frontier city, was killed in a standoff with police Thursday — as security experts worried that his two dozen-plus accomplices could take advantage of the chaos at the southern border to slip into the US.

Ernest Alfredo Piñon de La Cruz, known by his underworld moniker “El Neto,” was tracked by Mexican intelligence officers in Ciudad Juarez four days after his daring and bloody escape from Cereso #3 State Prison. He and 29 other inmates had broken out in a mass shooting that left 19 dead, including 10 guards.

In the last several weeks, tens of thousands of migrants have crossed the southern border from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso, overwhelming the Texas city of more than 600,000 residents, where the mayor declared a state of emergency last month. US Customs and Border Protection reported more than 2.4 million “encounters” with migrants — a record high — along the nearly 2,000-mile southern border in fiscal year 2022.

Funny if they fled to Chicago after a blood soaked weekend in fear they would rush back to Mexico to be safe again.

...where, if caught, claim asylum, since returning to Mexico would be really bad for their health and happiness. Our government will feed them, provide them with a smart phone so they can know when to appear for their asylum hearing, and transportation to a city of their choice where they will receive housing assistance, food stamps and other amenities in the Land of the Free.

Or if they’re not caught they can hole up with their fellow cartel members. But hey, the border IS secure.

President Trump as a candidate said something that seems pretty accurate.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people” (Time Magazine 2015).

I take it Trump looks for the good in people.😇

NO WAY!!! To border is secure. To say other wise is misinformation and encouraging illegal crossings. Terrorists, rapists, criminals, drug dealers, and human sexual slave smugglers would NEVER think of crossing the border with a tough guy like Chomo Joe running the border.

I Know it’s /s but still....

Not “we” if we try hard to stop the Dems and Soros puppeteers from sending America into chaos.

It is “they.”

The borders are open. Uncle joe doesn’t mind if they come to the USA. He’ll even give them welfare and food stamps.

They’ll blend in pretty well in most Democrat run cities.

“Why do you think I became a gigillionaire in the first place?”

They’ll come here. Somehow it reminds me of the commercial.

They’ll cross into America with the assistance and support of the man who stole the presidency with fake votes.
