Cartels at the US Gate: How the Open Border Fueled a Foreign Terror Threat
8th July 2025
The fentanyl crisis was not accidental. China supplies the chemicals, but it is the Mexican cartels who manufacture and distribute the poison. Fentanyl is a synthetic killer that has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives. None of this would have been possible without the Biden administration’s reckless border policies. The cartels were given free rein to exploit a system that no longer functions.
Today’s cartels are not street gangs. They are paramilitary empires. Groups like the Sinaloa Cartel, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and the Gulf Cartel have private armies, armored vehicles, encrypted communications, and surveillance technology. Some even use spyware like Pegasus to monitor law enforcement, journalists, and rival organizations. They are militarized, disciplined, and global in reach. And they operated with confidence because they knew our border was wide open.
