WASHINGTON, DC, Oct 26 — Kamala Harris must be working in secret. The border crisis is boiling over, and she is nowhere to be seen or heard. The VP is America’s “border czarina,” so she must be doing her job undercover. After all, we do have a crisis on our hands.
Perhaps she will emerge soon and will tell us how she’s figured out a way to put an end to the most treacherous assault at our southern borders by illegal migrants in two decades. There is no end in sight to the ongoing calamity at the border, a fact that is substantiated by a Border Patrol report. It shows that in the 2021 Fiscal Year that ended Sept. 30, 2021, Customs and Border Protection [CBP] agents apprehended more than 1.74 million illegal migrants seeking entry into the U.S.
The vast majority of them began making their way north in the weeks before Joe Biden was elected President of the U.S., making it clear that he and his liberal/socialist Congress would offer them a kinder, gentler welcome when they reached our borders.
Included in the mobs storming our borders are tens of thousands of minors who are on their own. The Epoch Times reports that “record levels of unaccompanied minors and family units have been entering illegally” and that they are being allowed to remain in the U.S. “The number of unaccompanied children apprehended by Border Patrol in fiscal 2021 (146,925) exceeded last year’s total by four times. At one point in April, more than 20,000 unaccompanied minors were being held in Health and Human Services custody.”
Meanwhile, the CBP says that we should be ready for yet another assault at our southern borders as new caravans of migrants have begun making their way toward our gates. They left Guatemala over the weekend. One such band of asylum seekers, numbering more than 3,400, consists mainly of non-Mexicans from Haiti, Central, and South America. But the newspaper, Diario Del Sur, says a total number of migrants set to assault our borders in the near future is in excess of 18,000, and they will be marching north soon.
Alarmingly, the drug cartels are infiltrating the caravans along the way in order to supply dealers north of the border with drugs such as deadly fentanyl. Last week, Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson reported that fentanyl has become the drug of choice for the cartels. It’s cheaper to produce than cocaine and, therefore, more profitable.
In Sinaloa Province, Mexico, just south of the Mexican-California border, “11 pounds of fentanyl typically sells for around $15,000.00. In the United States that same amount of fentanyl sells for more than a hundred thousand dollars, so you can see the incentive. How much fentanyl is that? Well, just two milligrams of the drug can be lethal to a human being. That means, 11 pounds contains nearly two and a half million fatal doses of fentanyl,” according to Carlson.
In fact, the Border Patrol has been targeting cartel traffickers mingling with illegal migrants as they cross the U.S. borders, arresting them and quickly having them stand trial in U.S. courts. Most recently, two Sinaloa cartel members — including a one-time Mexican police officer — were convicted of smuggling drugs, as well as firearms in a federal court in El Paso, TX. There are no statistics as to how many bad guys such as those two make it through and are able to peddle their deadly wares throughout the U.S.
So, maybe the absence of Czarina Kamala Harris is that the situation has become too difficult for her to deal with and because of what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had to say about the border crisis. He was caught on tape saying, “A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose and this is unsustainable … We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue and our system isn’t built for it.” The Epoch Times says the tape was leaked to Fox News by a “Border Patrol source.”
