ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Joe Biden\u2019s border disaster is getting worse by the day as thousands of illegal immigrants swarm U.S. border entry points daily. And as I have repeatedly noted the Mexican drug cartels essentially control the border regions of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the entire southwest border, as many 9,400 migrants have crossed into the US in a single 24-hour period. That is tens of thousands a week or over 100,00 per month. Over a million a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, thanks to Joe Biden and his band of merry leftists, the cartels essentially control the U.S. side of the border as well, flooding our border with illegal migrants to overwhelm our border patrol agents and divert them from the drug smuggling points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the New York Post reported<\/a>: \u201cThe way it\u2019s being orchestrated through the cartels, I believe it\u2019s meant to overwhelm the system. The [places] that are being impacted the most are border communities,\u201d said former El Paso City Councilmember Claudia Rodriquez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cartels unleashed turmoil on the city before<\/a>, stirring up rumors of the border being open to all back in March and again in April, prompting hundreds of migrants to storm one of El Paso\u2019s international bridges.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re at the border, go this morning,\u201d a social media screenshot of the rumor said. \u201cDon\u2019t miss this opportunity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aid workers previously told The Post how migrants are particularly susceptible to tricks orchestrated by the cartel, as most are in a vulnerable position and in unfamiliar territory.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of the folks that are waiting in Juarez [across the border from El Paso] are very desperate, and they\u2019ll believe anything,\u201d Crystal Sandoval of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center said in March.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

These waves of migrants egged on by cartel-driven misinformation online on social media overwhelms and distracts the Border Patrol, and diverts federal resources, when they are most needed to combat the smuggling of fentanyl into the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also overwhelms the local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
