Last week, Chinese organized crime groups were found working with the Mexican cartels in a global money laundering scheme. But while the White House, Beijing and Mexico City continue to trade accusations, officials in Texas — which has the nation’s longest border with Mexico — are taking real steps to address the problem. Chinese involvement in the...
A compelling collection of stories by Jason Buch tells a gripping tale about embezzled money stolen from Mexican taxpayers making its way through a Texas bank and ultimately into extravagant assets such as real estate, cars, and various luxury items. Buch’s investigative reporting begins by delving into the life of Luis Carlos Castillo Cervantes, also...
Apparently, President Joe Biden’s reelection plan to “finish the job” includes the normalization of the mass importation of child sex and labor slaves across the border. It’s not surprising that his administration can do so—nobody’s standing in its way. Rapid DNA testing at the border has been a critical vetting tool preventing strangers and human...
While the federal government is missing in action as Texas border towns are overwhelmed by illegal immigrants, the Lone Star State is taking action. Since the inception of the Texas busing program more than 20,000 migrants have been relocated from the Texas cities to “sanctuary cities” to include Chicago, Denver, New York City, Philadelphia, and...
CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEXICO — Jorge Mijares left Venezuela months ago — last November, he says. He’s been in Ciudad Juarez, across the Rio Grande River from El Paso, for four weeks. But he planned to cross over Thursday night, as Title 42 immigration restrictions ended. “I have the app,” said Mijares, 54. “I’m just waiting for it...
Mexico’s president, the increasingly authoritarian and erratic leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador, aka AMLO, visited Veracruz this past Friday to commemorate the 1914 American occupation of that city. In his remarks was a startling declaration: the Mexican state and military, under his leadership, will defend Mexico’s criminal cartels from the Americans. “There is talk in the United...
We are guilty because we lure them here with the imagery of a safe-haven nation conjured up by Emma Lazarus’ poem ‘The New Colossus.’ We stopped being that nation decades ago. Mexico’s criminal cartels view unaccompanied migrant children as “the product,” and the Biden administration treats them as such. Our current immigration system is a modern-day...
What is happening along our international borders today is not just about illegal immigration or drug smuggling. It’s also about the rapid increase in human trafficking and modern-day slavery, which is flourishing with the chaos that open borders facilitate. With a record number of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S., it has become increasingly difficult to ensure...
The former Mexican governor of Tamaulipas and one-time presidential hopeful was sentenced to nine years in prison two weeks ago, after spending millions of dollars in illegal bribes to fraudulently purchase property in the U.S. Tomás Yarrington Ruvalcaba pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering and has long been accused of accepting millions in bribes from...
It’s hard to imagine the same barbaric cartel activity that has ravaged Mexico spreading across the border we share, but make no mistake—cartel activity is no longer confined to Mexico. It is present in all of our communities. Drug cartels are ruthless, strategic, highly organized money-making entities that continue to evolve in strength and sophistication....
Rebecca Kiessling testified before Congress to talk about the risk of fentanyl poisoning and why it is of the upmost importance to her. Fentanyl killed her two young sons, Caleb and Kyler. And she is just one of millions of parents experiencing this tragedy. When confronted about it, the president did what he does best—mumble,...
Media’s rush to praise Biden’s visit to the border is drastically premature At the outset of the new year, President Joe Biden deserves some acknowledgment for finally doing the bare minimum and visiting the U.S.-Mexico border. But the mainstream media’s rush to praise his visit as a sign that the president is getting serious about...
