Drug Cartels Buying American Politicians

This activity has been known for a while, but with the upcoming amnesty push it is worth bringing to the forefront once again.

The almost non-existent Southern border, the one that Chuck Schumer says is secure, is bringing more than good folks that just want to work. Drug cartels have entrenched themselves in the United States, and if hawking their drugs to American citizens and committing other crimes, up to and including murder wasn’t enough, they now are emboldened to take over entire cities. With the money these cartels have, they are now influencing public officials in various cities across the United States, thus far mostly in the Southwest. From funding campaigns for sympathetic candidates to outright bribery, the cartels have the money-and the muscle to make it happen.

Tom Tancredo talked about this years ago. It fell upon deaf ears. Cartels are going in and basically annexing small cities and using it to launder their dirty money and have favorable laws passed for their various activities. Sure, there are those that would sell their souls to the highest bidder, but what of the decent, or at least somewhat ethical politicians? How would they say no to these cartels? What would be the consequences? Use your imagination.

Even with the specter of drug cartels running American cities, the amnesty push is on the way. This problem is not even being addressed except as an ordinary law enforcement issue. These cartels plan to target any law enforcement that stands in their way too. Killing cops, trafficking drugs, child prostitutes and terrorists, kidnapping for ransom and owning American politicians is not even part of the amnesty debate. In fact, congress gutted funds for the mandated border fence, and what is there now is basically scrap metal for the entrepreneurs on the other side. Mexico doesn’t want help though. They just want money. And they are getting it. So are the cartels. Hardly a week goes by that yet another story of corrupt law enforcement comes out of Mexico. Yes, the United States is helping to fund that corruption. The cartels are winning. The CIA put Mexico right up there with Iraq as the biggest security risk to the United States. But the United States stands there like Baby Huey, seemingly oblivious to the danger the country is in. How could an amnesty advocate defend this? They’ll play the race card. Get ready for the straw man.

What to do? Complain to your local elected officials? They may already be bought off.
