Ex-Border Patrol Agents Warn: Politicians Helping Cartels in U.S.
Breitbart News ^ | 7 Aug 2013 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 08/07/2013 7:51:30 PM PDT by george76

In an open letter to the public in late July, several retired Border Patrol agents wrote on behalf of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers to warn that Mexican drug cartels are actively operating inside the United States spending millions every year to try to build their networks here. They argued that American politicians are protecting their activities as well.

“Transnational criminal enterprises have annually invested millions of dollars to create and staff international drug and human smuggling networks inside the United States; thus it is no surprise that they continue to accelerate their efforts to get trusted representatives in place as a means to guarantee continued success,” the Border Patrol agents wrote.

“We must never lose sight of the fact that the United States is the market place for the bulk of transnational criminal businesses engaged in human trafficking and the smuggling, distribution and sale of illegal drugs. Organized crime on this scale we are speaking about cannot exist without political protection.”

...

“Sanctuary cities established throughout the United States discourage even the most basic law enforcement initiatives within their boundaries against these predatory criminals,” they wrote. “Encouraged by Congress and a disinterested mainstream news media, these havens deny the American public their constitutional right to national security and public safety while providing relative safety for dangerous foreign criminals.”

The retired Border Patrol agents called on Congress to abandon efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens because passing an amnesty would be akin to abetting the drug cartels.

I’ve long thought that McCain and Flake were on the payroll of the cartels. They are just to eager to keep the people flowing and the borders open.

If the Mexican border is closed how will they all get their drugs ?
Check to see which of the US cities are at top of the list for drug use. Last one I saw had DC at or near the top!

are “let’s have open-borders for alien mom’s with alien kids,” and “let’s do amnesty in chunks,” and “our crony capitalists need these illegals to do the jobs that Americans won’t do” boehner, cantor, ryan and the like aware of this?

they’ll probably claim that they all just need to be legalized and the’ll turn on and turn in all their crime boss masters. right. that’s right: all these illegals are just going to turn themselves in with the stroke of the amnesty pen.

perhaps issa “waste of time” can have them come and testify.

Now that you mentioned it!

You will note that the black Muslim gang that controlled the community O organier and he represented in state legislature was initially supported by the Mexican drug cartels.

How's that vaunted "War on Drugs" coming along? Lots of new Great Victories, I imagine?

Ramos-Compean, made it quite obvious the DOJ is making millions from Cartels, and now phone calls from politicians.

I've always figured that some powerful political people were allowing the drug trade to expand....whether it be sheriffs, or DA's or the local cops or the congresscritters....

same with oil...we'd have been energy independent if we REALLY REALLY wanted too....

we'd be drug free if we REALLY REALLY wanted to....

Not the slightest bit surprised. IMHO the WOD is all about keeping prices high so politicians get more money from the cartels.

We need a real WOD. Fenced border, kick out all illegals, and death penalty for drug sellers.

Problem solved.

There is no actual WOD. There’s a “Let’s Keep the Prices High” fake WOD.
