the cartels, therefore, control the border.control not only the flow of illegals, but they control the flow of drugs. is so what they're doing is they're captainizing on e -- capitalizing on illegal coming across. biden is inare riching the cartels. -- enriching. we're also able to control the pinch points for drug shipments because they'll send 100 people across, let's say in the rio grande, and border patrol agents come off their post to go help with that surge, they bring the drugs in the back door, and that's affecting us. and another thing that people need to understand is the biden administration's putting these people on planes when they come across and them telling them at some future date they may have to appear in court, not giving them the necessary paperwork. we don't the know who they are, they don't have any identification. and those people -- often times they go into those cities where the cartel members meet them, and they're paying off their debt to get across because these people don't have $4,000 in pocket, a

but the cartels are not stupid. and they realize that they can't get the drugs across the points of entry. they are going to come between the ports of entry. that's why you see reports of people dressed in either camouflage or all in black carrying backpacks of drugs across the border between the ports of entry. and of course as we pointed out, sentinel doesn't take a lot to kill somebody or -- you could put a lot of it in a backpack. let me just put it that way. >> thank you senator cornyn. now i will turn back over to senator booker. i'm going to vote on the floor as he justt did. >> this is when the trouble starts when all of the senior leaders leave me in the room with the panel alone. gentlemen, you should be afraid. let me get my questions open here. mr. charles, clearly i want to start with you, my friend. because i've gotten to know you quite well over these years. what i would like to know first and foremost is what do you think about, in general, about the mandatory minimums in your own experience, the dif

and the cartel novacnj cartel that is also from the western part of the country. so, therefore, in south texas although seeing an increase in fentanyl we're not seeing it to the degree that our counterparts in arizona and in southern florida are. >> the majority of drugs that are on the street in the country come across the arizona border, correct? >> i'm sorry? >> the ma jor of street drugs in the country come across the arizona border, correct? >> the majority of street drugs in this country come across the entire southwest border. >> okay. >> from brownsville to san diego. it's -- that's where it's coming across. >> okay. >> our fentanyl has increased. like i said, but for us it is not our number one drug of concern. our number one drug of concern is methamphetamine. but the problem that we face as you stated earlier, senator, the fact that fentanyl is being mixed with pretty much every other drug. >> and the number of deaths, mr. wasserman, i would assume you all are tracking deaths that are related to fentanyl? have you seen an uptick? what kind of uptick are

members and it is rare for cartel members to actually exchange fire with the border agents.ed to this level? >> morgan: clearly the cartel would not have escalated with the americans if there had not been some valuable cargo they did not want the americans to get a hold of. for me at this point, the fact why vice president kamala harris' trip i believe is next week to mexico is incredibly important. we need to see some real results from some of the issues that president biden has put her in charge of, she supposedly is in charge of the relationship with mexico and with the northern triangle countries and these sorts of things should be under her purview. i'm very concerned, a lot of us in the foreign policy community are concerned by some of the backsliding we've seen away from america in mexico, pulling away from democracy, pulling away from the united states. it's difficult to do what president trump did which was to say to a foreign leader numerous times, if you don't agree with us in taxes we are going to increase tariffs, if you don't stop these sorts of things at the b

the reply, the criminal cartels control the mexican/u.s. border and joe biden administration handed it to them. they used this humanitarian crisis. push hundreds of families and tie up the border patrol and then get the drugs in. not how many people on the f.b.i. watch list have gotten in successfully. it is a severe national security crisis. >> harris: we're so focused on the little one who has been abandoned by smugglers. i imagine everybody was focused on that child and that creates a perforated area, one that you can easily cross through for cartels and smugglers. i totally get what you are saying tom homan. that becomes then a necessary distraction because you have to go to that child. boy, it sounds like they know what they are doing in terms of poking holes at us. i want to get to this. "the new york times" has obtained documents revealing president biden's plans to overhaul the immigration system. apparently he is about to push to allow more people into the united states aiming to undo much of president trump's legacy. former white

and the smugglers know it, the cartels know exactly what they're doing.onths are coming because they know the heat is tremendous, they'll send individuals to, you know, pretty much zones where they know they might not make it. they're forced to call 911, so now agents are being moved to that area, and at the same time once again the drug cartels take advantage by bringing in drugs into the u.s. elizabeth: art, we've been covering this, "the evening edit," for about five years. you and i have been talking about this for years, that what is the biden -- excuse me, this is what the mexican cartels and the migrants are doing, purposefully flooding the zone with unaccompanied children to pull border patrol away and distract them so they can flood the zone with drugs. let's ask fbi director christopher wray testifying today. he's saying there's an epidemic of drugs and, yes, mexican cartel crime is swarming across the border. watch this. >> i absolutely agree that the security situation at the southwest border is a great concern. both from our perspective of dr

que han invadido la zona el alcalde dijo todos sabemos de qué hablamos cuando se trata de los carteles250 ahora son más de 500 sembradíos una de las instalaciones contaba con 64 invernaderos y cubría un área de 10 acres el congresista matt garcía dijo no estamos en sonora méxico estamos a 300 millas de la frontera y tenemos una de las operaciones de drogas ilegales en nuestro patio y esa cosecha ilegal impacta a otros residentes pues aquí el agua escasea cada arbusto requiere tres galones de agua por día y cómo llega el agua a esos invernaderos en medio del desierto muchos hacen sus propias fosas ilegales otras se las roban de los ranchos y otros se conectan a estos hidrantes no nos faltan decenas más de cultivos. >> también han habido operativos en la bahía en este caso drogas, armas y cinco personas arrestadas las autoridades decomisaron dos almas fantasmas más de 45,000 dólares casi 30 libras de medicamento. >> cerca del boulevard mac arthur >> este próximo jueves podría ser decisivo en el caso de emma coronel ante la justicia de estados unidos hablamos con su equipo legal previo a

the criminal cartels control the border.n traffickers, the de mail traffickers, child traffickers, the narcotics they manage the whole border and who goes where and when they go and how much they got to pay so the cartels are making billions of dollars controlling that border right now. dagen: does the president know that this , does kamala harris know this , does the homeland security secretary know this? >> of course they do, because we had a surge in 1415 and mayorkas was the deptula vice president, i was very much involved with addressing that surge and we stopped that surge because we built deterrence facilities, we had a system of consequence, we detained people, made them see a judge, 90% loss, put them on an airplane, sent them home and numbers went down and they are doing the complete opposite, they are being released without court dates, not seeing a judge and i.c.e. can't remove non-criminal illegal aliens anymore, they are no longer a priority. they are doing the complete opposite of what they know will stop this
