U.S. officials admit losing ‘operational control’ of border, drug cartels poised to seize it

With just two words, the top uniformed officer in the Customs and Border Protection agency sent shockwaves across official Washington two months ago when asked whether his agency has operational control of the southern U.S. border.

"No, sir," Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told Congress in a shocking admission that exposed just how badly border security has deteriorated under President Joe Biden.

At the time, illegal crossings at the border in March were averaging 5,000 a day, far more than the historical average of 2,000 daily at the end of the Trump administration.

By last week, those crossing had exploded to a record 10,000 a day as the pandemic-related Title 42 order allowing migrants to be turned away expired.

Border officials says illegal crossings will soon shoot up to 11,000 to 16,000 daily. With each increase under Biden, more border patrol agents are being torn from their security roles and moved to process migrants and release them into the country.

When the total hits 16,000 daily, only 10% of available border agents will be on patrol and the drug cartels will have full control, says Brandon Judd, a border patrol agent and the president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union representing border agent.

Judd says the crisis point will emerge in a few weeks when media attention to the end of Title 42 subsides and the cartels take full advantage.

Here is the irony- fewer mojados are going to get through the cartels than if the US is running the border.

What you will notice is that among all the Hispanics....there’s a fair number of Chinese men now in the mix.

What I suspect is going on....these are all Chinese guys attached to some gang-syndicate....within the next year, they will begin to replace the black gangs who do the distribution for fentanyl. Some gang war will start up, and Biden officials will be standing there, unable to explain this to anyone because it’s their mess created.

We have a certifiably insane president incapable of tying his shoes, a feminized military, and an executive branch filled with the most incompetent people in our nation. The Congress does nothing to end the madness. We the people who are the final authority in government must rise up and throw down this illegal, incompetent, and malicious administration.

When germany rolled past the maginot line I’m pretty sure the French didn’t claim loss of control of their border.

And people wonder WHY the powers that be want to disarm law-abiding Americans? It isn’t for the safety of society at large. “History has proven over and over again that an unarmed populace can’t say NO! To a dictatorial government...and also what happens next”. Complacency and the inability to learn from history guarantees what will happen next. Brace yourselves. This WILL hurt.

That would be nice but to round this all out the voting process has been hopelessly corrupted by Dominion, Smartmatic, vote by mail, harvesting and on and on. The Citizenry has lost their only means of Government accountability. Until that dastardly wrong is righted we are doomed.

They haven’t “lost control”. They could close it in an hour if they wanted it closed.

M101A1s and beehive rounds.

That’ll stop them and nailed together, easier to grapple up and load in the dumpsters!

Drones must be sent to Mexico to take out the cartel bosses and their families in the villas where they live.

A cartel Boss is no less an American enemy than an ISIS raghead leader in Syria. The man and his family must be destroyed.

(the family is not innocent)

The media will not talk about this and unless you are plugged in and paying attention, most of the American population has no idea of what is going on at the border.

It’s a shame that we’ve allowed the Socialist Democrats to compromise ‘education’ to the extent that the past two Generations know nothing of, say, Little Bighorn or The Alamo or any battle in the Revolutionary War, The Civil War, WWI, WWII, The Bay of Pigs, even Carter’s Hostage Crisis! 444 Days!

Whatever, Dude. I’m too busy deciding which sex I want to be...THIS week.

*SPIT*
