Bidenomics Works...for the Cartels: They Rake in $32M Per Week - in One Sector Alone - Per CBP Estimates

While House Republicans prepare to move ahead with impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Speaker Mike Johnson is leading a group of over 60 House Republicans as they tour the southern border, in and around Eagle Pass, Texas.

While there, Republicans received a briefing from the Border Patrol, which included CBP's estimate as to the amount of money the cartels are raking in while the Biden administration dithers.

Ken Paxton Scorches Biden Administration for 'Aiding and Abetting' Mexican Drug Cartels

It's a given that running drugs (and smuggling people) is a lucrative business — else the cartels wouldn't be in the mix, to begin with. But the amount involved is utterly mind-boggling. While many Americans struggle under the weight of crushing inflation, Bidenomics may have found its champion in the cartels.

According to CBP estimates, the cartels are taking in a cool $32 million...per week. And that's just in the Del Rio, Texas, sector.

$32,000,000.

PER WEEK.

Good to know Biden administration policies are benefiting someone's pocketbooks, I suppose.

Republicans are slated to hold a press conference from the border Wednesday afternoon.

In the meantime, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) has issued an announcement regarding the planned hearings on the Mayorkas impeachment proceedings.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) announced a full committee hearing on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, to evaluate the impacts on the country of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ failed leadership and his refusal to enforce the laws passed by Congress.
Secretary Mayorkas’ actions. Read the interim reports on Mayorkas’ dereliction of duty, unprecedented cartel control of the Southwest border, the human and financial costs of the crisis, and the waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. The Committee also released an appendix containing excerpts from transcribed interviews with eight U.S. Border Patrol chief patrol agents and one deputy chief patrol agent responsible for sectors along the Southwest border here. These interviews reveal Mayorkas’ failure to enforce the laws of the United States and instead implementing policies that have caused and perpetuated this immigration crisis.
“For almost three years, the American people have demanded an end to the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border, and they have also rightly called for Congress to hold accountable those responsible,” Chairman Green said. “That’s why the House Committee on Homeland Security led a comprehensive investigation into the causes, costs, and consequences of this crisis. Our investigation made clear that this crisis finds its foundation in Secretary Mayorkas’ decision-making and refusal to enforce the laws passed by Congress, and that his failure to fulfill his oath of office demands accountability. The bipartisan House vote in November to refer articles of impeachment to my Committee only served to highlight the importance of our taking up the impeachment process—which is what we will begin doing next Wednesday.”
DETAILS:
WHAT: A House Committee on Homeland Security hearing entitled, “Havoc in the Heartland: How Secretary Mayorkas’ Failed Leadership Has Impacted the States.”
DATE: Wednesday, January 10, 2024
TIME: 10:00 AM ET
LOCATION: 310 Cannon House Office Building
Witnesses will be announced and are by invitation only.
The hearing will be livestreamed on YouTube and the Committee’s website.
