Chilling warning from Border Patrol agent as he claims ‘cartels control the border’ NOT the government
A Border Patrol agent has claimed that cartels are the ones controlling the US-Mexico border.
The anonymous agent told News Nation that the US government has no control over the border, which has fallen into the hands of cartels.
“The most important thing is that we don’t control the border, the cartel controls the border,” the officer said.
‘Everything we do is a response to the things they have planned. Normally we chase pawns, while the kings and queens do what they want.’
The officer asked to remain anonymous because he said he was “terrified to talk to the media” and might lose his job as a result.

The agency is struggling to keep up with the record number of migrants crossing the border
The IDs are thought to be made and sold by cartels so that migrants traveling to the US from Asia and elsewhere could be checked by Mexican police as they travel through the country.
The agent added: “Our border is absolutely not secure, and even if it were, we do not have the manpower to deal with the situation that is happening now.”
They warned that “no one is coming to protect you” because the organization is “defunded and overwhelmed.”
Border Patrol is struggling to keep up with the record number of migrants trying to cross the border as agents have to spend more time processing asylum claims.
The number of migrants has exploded as organized crime has gained power and expanded its presence in Mexico, with cartels often charging smugglers a tax to let them work in the region.
As previously reported by DailyMail.com, cartels have recruited American soldiers to smuggle migrants into the US, a worrying new trend.
So far, two have been arrested for participating in illegal human trafficking schemes.
Cartels are also believed to provide Mexican IDs to Chinese nationals seeking to cross the US border.
The IDs are thought to be made and sold by cartels so that migrants traveling to the US from Asia and elsewhere could be checked by Mexican police as they travel through the country.
The documents are then destroyed or thrown away by migrants as they cross the U.S. border, making it harder for authorities to identify them and easing their path to asylum.
San Diego has seen more than double the number of Chinese nationals crossing the border in the first half of this fiscal year than in all of 2023.
Most fly to Tijuana before paying cartels up to $35,000 to get them to the US.
Migrant arrests in San Diego reached 8,989 for the week ending April 16, according to figures the agency placed at X. Meanwhile, Tucson — previously the top region for crossings — had 7,500 arrests for the week ending April 19.

Mexican authorities have also tightened security on their side of the Texas border.
The number of migrant arrivals is overwhelming in San Diego, with officials reporting up to 1,000 people a day being released at city train and bus stops.
Crossings in the sector increased from 31,562 in February to 33,784 in March, although this total was down slightly from the 34,371 migrants who entered San Diego in December.
DailyMail.com previously revealed that a US Border Patrol chief has warned that his agents are being overwhelmed by the number of Chinese migrants crossing the border illegally and that they may be missing communist spies.
Chief Patrol Agent Anthony Good, of the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector, told the Homeland Security Committee during a closed hearing last September that his agents were “doing their best to find out why [individuals from other continents are] come’, but that ‘information can be hidden’ and ‘their agendas, their ideologies and the reason for their coming can be missed’.
