They keep telling us the border is being overrun by cartel traffickers.
Here’s the truth they don’t like talking about:
A former CBP officer was just sentenced to 9 years for helping a Sinaloa Cartel-linked trafficking operation move drugs through an official U.S. port of entry. Jesse Clark Garcia worked the inspection lanes at the Tecate Port of Entry.
He gave traffickers his schedules and lane assignments. They used coded messages, including emojis, to know exactly when and where to send the drug-loaded vehicles. Garcia admitted helping move at least 100 kilos of fentanyl, 107 kilos of meth and 270 kilos of cocaine into the United States.
His price?
At least $10,000 per vehicle.
And he wasn’t alone. Another former CBP officer, Diego Bonillo, was sentenced to 15 years for doing essentially the same thing at the Otay Mesa port.
Two federal officers. Two official ports of entry. Hundreds of kilos of drugs. Cartel money.
They weren’t sneaking across the border. They were working the border.
But sure, tell us again how the problem is migrants.
