Border security under former President Obama<\/a> was something of a joke. Border patrol agents were simply not allowed to do their job. Certain areas of America were marked with signs indicating it was dangerous to go there because drug cartels were using those areas to conduct business (inside America). Well, there is a new sheriff in town, but he sure has a lot to clean up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On February 7th, Judicial Watch <\/a>posted an article about the reach of Mexican drug cartels into America. It’s not good news.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Illustrating that the Mexican drug crisis is having a far-reaching impact on the U.S., a heroin ring operated by a Mexican cartel was recently busted in an American<\/a> suburb more than 1,500 miles from the southern border. In the last few years Judicial Watch has reported extensively on the massive amounts of drugs\u2014especially heroin\u2014that get smuggled into the U.S. by Mexican traffickers who later use street, prison and outlaw motorcycle gangs to distribute them throughout the country. Undoubtedly, these enterprises benefitted tremendously from the Obama administration\u2019s open border policies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now we have confirmation that these illicit drug operations have penetrated areas far from the border. This case comes out of Rowan County, North Carolina<\/a> where a local news report<\/a> reveals that authorities began targeting large-scale heroin distribution in 2013. Last week three people with ties to a Mexican drug cartel<\/a> were arrested in the county. Large quantities of heroin, handguns, a rifle, ammunition, numerous telephones, cash and drug paraphernalia was confiscated by police. Authorities say the Mexican heroin trafficking ring was based in the Charlotte-Matthews area and has been supplying heroin to Rowan County for more than a decade. \u201cOver the past two months, investigators purchased large amounts of heroin from two people working for this Mexican National Drug Trafficking<\/a> Organization,\u201d the news report states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rowan County is near Charlotte, North Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article further reports:<\/p>\n

A big part of the problem is that the drug trafficking is being leveraged by corrupt public officials in the U.S., a years-long Judicial Watch investigation has found. Undoubtedly, cartel violence is real but truckloads of drugs are getting across the country because U.S. officials at the municipal, state and federal level are turning a blind eye or actively participating and cooperating with cartels. As part of an ongoing probe, Judicial Watch has provided the Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) Inspector General and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman<\/a> Chuck Grassley<\/a> with evidence, including the sworn testimony of law enforcement officers, of this corruption and criminality in all levels of government.

Hopefully the new sheriff in town can put an end to this activity. However, when you realize how pervasive the corruption is, you begin to understand some of the opposition to President Trump. There is a lot of money tied up in the drug trade that does not want the new sheriff to interfere with that money. Our future as a nation is at stake–it is time to get control of our borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
