Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: Border patrol ‘working with cartels’ to handle overwhelming migrant crossings: Former official The southern border of the United States has become a suggestion, a line that vanishes a little more each day. I spent three days on the front lines of the Biden administration’s illegal-immigration crisis, and found a Border Patrol that has changed from an enforcement agency to a concierge service. A pipeline of migrants, fueled by cartel coyotes and abetted by American liberal nongovernmental organizations, enter the nation in droves, and many will likely never return to the countries they left. Groups of migrant men often wait in the bushes or under the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge until dusk to cross over. At sunset, I witnessed a group walking out of the brush and onto dirt road up to the security wall on the American side. The officer I was speaking with took off in her patrol Jeep to direct the men to a “consolidation point” away from the main road where I was standing. The immigrants trudged off, and within minutes, the patrol vehicles left to another area. No action was taken for what was likely an illegal crossing. Even if the government wanted to secure the border, there aren’t enough officers to police the hundreds arriving each day. So the Border Patrol has made deals with the devils. Mark Morgan, former commissioner of the US Custom and Border Protection agency, said US officers now coordinate with the cartels and coyotes on where and when drop-offs will happen. In the past, large groups of illegal immigrants would cross without notice, and it would take agents two days to process at the centers.

In January, dozens of single, mostly male adult migrants were shuttled from a makeshift processing center in Texas to a local airport for flights to various US cities. NY Post Morgan told me they wanted to avoid scenes like the ones of children being dropped over walls in remote areas. It may be safer, but it also makes the cartel’s job easier, and more lucrative. The cartels have taken control of our border, and we’re negotiating with the hostage-takers. Once the migrants are processed at the consolidation centers, they are given folders color-coded to the city of their destination. I saw folders with tickets to Houston, Atlanta, Newark and JFK. The folder also contains an airline ticket, a US passport-looking booklet, cash, prepaid credit cards, travel itineraries and an English translation page. The cover of the folder says in capital letters, “PLEASE HELP ME I DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. WHAT PLANE DO I NEED TO TAKE? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP” with a smiley face. Onto the planes Each migrant also receives a set of clothing — a gray or black sweatshirt, dark jeans and black sneakers. They get a blanket, a pillow-sized bag of shelf-life food and a carry-on travel bag. Some have received cellphones. Fox News footage shows mass release of single adult migrants into US. Illegal immigrants with criminal records were released into the US and dropped off at a Texas airport, according to an ICE agent talking with Fox News.

I watched their handlers get them past immigration and security with just a flash of documents, whereas all other passengers had to show identification. Their handlers, I’m told, are from government-funded NGOs and churches. see also President Biden NY House GOP tells Biden to keep ‘secret’ flights of migrants out of Empire State There is exhaustion and fear on many of their faces, because the only real winners here are the cartels, to which so many of these illegal migrants owe money. They face years of repayments for the treacherous journey they just made. Once they arrive at their destination cities, the handlers go missing. I followed one group of female migrants to the airport bathroom and watched as they cleaned up, changed out of the sweatshirts they were given and back into nondescript clothing. There were colored bracelets in the trash. I was told these were given to them by their coyotes to indicate what payment they had made. The women I saw inside the bathroom were trying to lose their “markings” and possibly escape from their handlers. Unfortunately, There was one marker that was difficult to erase. On the plane, there were several young girls heavily pregnant. One of the girls could have been my daughter’s age, preteen. She was having a difficult time and very sick disembarking off the plane.
