While Texas continues to attempt to secure its border, the Department of Justice (DOJ) disagrees with its methods. The DOJ filed a lawsuit on Monday against Texas for its use of the buoy marine barrier system, a system which has been implemented to protect lives and deter illegal border crossings along the Rio Grande River. The floating...
Not content with creating the humanitarian crisis Texans are facing at their southern border, the federal government is now adding insult to injury by threatening to sue Texas over a floating barrier the state is now using to ensure the integrity of its border. In early July, Texas installed a 1,000-feet marine buoy barrier in...
Transnational criminal organizations are raking in $13 billion annually. As the United States continues to see record numbers of aliens illegally entering the country, all objective observers have reached a consensus: No alien enters the U.S. between the ports of entry via the southwestern border without paying someone in Mexico. The effective takeover of large swaths...
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.

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.

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.

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...
