Freedom Outpost
In an article by The Washington Times, sheriffs across the country are warning about the violence occurring in the interior of the United States as a result of Mexican Drug Cartels entering the US illegally through our porous southern border. These cartels engage in such activity as prostitution, human trafficking, drug trafficking, kidnapping and money laundering. If that isn’t bad enough, these cartels are recruiting “affluent white teenagers” to help them encrypt software for digital money-laundering and “hacking into government databases.” More shockingly, these same cartels are recruiting our own agents into their organizations to keep one step ahead of the law.
Sam Page, sheriff of Rockingham County, NC, knows firsthand about the illegal activity conducted by these cartels in our interior; one of the cartels established a drug warehouse only a mile from his home. Page states the cartels are out-gunning sheriffs’ departments, and contends every sheriff will become a border sheriff if our borders are not secured. Sheriff Page supports tracking those entering and exiting our country saying, “We can’t have open borders. If we don’t know who’s here, how are we going to protect ourselves.”
Rusty Fleming, spokesman for the Hudspeth County, TX, sheriff’s office and director of the documentary “Drug Wars,” says the US side is losing when it comes to combating these cartels. Fleming, who has testified before Congress regarding the drug trade, maintains these cartels are spreading rapidly and deep into the US interior infecting more than 3,000 US cities. These cartels recruit gang members, former prisoners and our own teenagers, according to Mr. Fleming, who is on the front lines of this battle.
