President Trump has made aware the countless American citizens that have become victim to the crimes of illegal aliens, while the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) agency reports a major takedown of weapons which were intended for the hands of drug cartels in Mexico through a smuggling scheme.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are gathered today to hear directly from the AMERICAN VICTIMS of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

It's important to note, as President Trump has said, that these illegal aliens are not innocent people working to better their lives, but in fact a whopping<a href="http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/02/15/most-immigrants-arrested-by-ice-have-prior-criminal-convictions-a-big-change-from-2009/"> 74% of all illegal aliens arrested by ICE have previous criminal convictions</a> inside the United States of America.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency have also announced the apprehension of a significant supply of weapons that was crossing the US border into Mexico that would inevitably end in the hands of evil cartels.

The apprehension took place when both the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agency raided a location in which they were able to apprehend 21 high-powered rifles, 962 rounds of ammunition, ammunition magazines, belt-fed magazines, ballistic plates, armor carriers and ghillie (camouflage) suits.
These types of weapons and accessories including body armor and protection are highly sought by Mexican drug cartels who have unleashed a bloodbath of carnage in their native country, in which Mexico recorded 29,168 homicides last year alone, according to<a href="http://secretariadoejecutivo.gob.mx/incidencia-delictiva/incidencia-detective-fuero-comun.php"> Mexico’s governmenr</a>, and as reported by<a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2018/01/25/580239712/mexico-registers-its-highest-homicides-on-record"> NPR </a>in January.
We also know there are countless American victims of illegal alien crimes, some of which are committed by these types of weapons-smuggling occurrences where our people are murdered as a result.
It's these senseless killings, higher and more dangerous than many war zones, that has led the 45th President of the United States of America to demand a border wall between the United States of America and Mexico to ensure the security of the American people.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!</p>— Donald J.

The Mexican Government seemingly fails to prevent these horrid homicides, with many stating that their strategy is simply failing, and others suggesting the government is corrupt and involved in both the illicit narcotics trafficking as well as taking bribes from powerful drug cartels.
"It comes back to a failed security strategy that has been completely exhausted," says Francisco Rivas, director of the Mexican research group the National Citizens' Observatory.

On the flip-side of excuses for a failed policy, there's acute evidence of corruption inside Mexico’s leadership.
In the spring of. 2017, two state governors who were wanted fugitives faced apprehension as they were arrested in a joint operation by Interpol and the Mexican police.
“Javier Duarte, who was captured in Guatemala, served six years as governor of the state of Veracruz, during which he allegedly misappropriated 233m pesos (US$12m) of public funds. Tomás Yarrington, onetime governor of the state of Tamaulipas, was arrested in Italy; he stands accused of co-operating with an extremely dangerous drug gang known as the Gulf Cartel. Both men are former members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, now led by Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto,”<a href="http://theconversation.com/mexicos-corruption-problems-are-still-among-the-worlds-deepest-76627"> The Conversation reported. </a>
“Homeland Security Investigations will continue to leverage its expansive authorities to combat transnational criminal organizations,” said Assistant Special Agent in Charge Adrian Flores, HSI Laredo. “HSI’s partnership with federal, state and local law enforcement in Laredo is crucial to ensuring public safety and national security in the U.S. and Mexico.”
According to law enforcement authorities, in early June of 2018, several Task Force members with Laredo’s High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) were conducting surveillance of a downtown Laredo parking lot.
They witnessed individual transfer boxes from one vehicle to another. Task Force members approached the individual and conducted a preliminary search inside the vehicle. During the search, they discovered a large cache of weapons and other related merchandise.
Law enforcement suspect that the merchandise was about to be smuggled to Mexico.
No immediate arrests were made in connection to the seizure.
The HIDTA task force is composed of HSI special agents, investigators from the Laredo Police Department, Webb County Sheriff’s Office, Zapata County Sheriff’s Office, and Customs and Border Protection’s U.S. Border Patrol and Office of Field Operations.
The task force identifies, disrupts and dismantles drug trafficking organizations and their illicit activities which destabilize communities in the south Texas area and beyond.
HSI is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and investigates a diverse portfolio of federal laws. HSI investigates violations of U.S. customs and immigration laws about border security, homeland security, and public safety.
In the fiscal year 2017, HSI special agents seized 5855 weapons and 673,327 rounds of ammunition, helping to keep communities safer both in the United States and Mexico.
HSI has jurisdiction to investigate the smuggling of weaponry into Mexico. Additionally, possessing a firearm with an altered or obliterated serial number is a violation of federal firearms laws.

With the dangerous flood of firearms and accessories into Mexico from the United States of America, one has to ask if these raids are related to the policy of providing weapons to Mexican cartels by the Obama Regime, such as occurred under Attorney General Eric Holder and Barack Obama's<a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/4808-The-Evolution-of-Fast-and-Furious"> “Fast and Furious” </a>program, which resulted in the deaths of American citizens including Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
During Congressional hearings last summer, the US Government suggested that the Obama Administration per Eric Holder at the Department of Justice are literally to blame for the death of an American Border Agent killed as a result of a botched government gun-running project known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The House Oversight Committee released a complete annihilation of the DOJ with a 300 page published package of documents suggesting the Administration’s failures to follow the law is directly responsible for the death of Border Agent Brian Terry.
The operation Fast and Furious was intended to be used to follow criminals, allegedly, after the FBI allowed them to purchase firearms illegally. Yes the FBI allowed these criminals to buy and possess and even use some of these weapons, and one of them was found at the scene of Agent Terry's death.
Most of these criminals are brutal and barbaric Mexican Drug Cartels such as MS13, La Raza, The Sinaloa Cartel, Latin Kings, Los Zetas, and Jalisco New Generation among several others.
Under President Trump, Border Patrol and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency are trying to counter these groups, with allegations that the intelligence community is responsible for working against this interest at every turn.
One of the largest problems for the cartels was they have endless supplies of cash but needed more firepower. They've for decades nearly controlled every border town on both sides, in Mexico, and in America.
This endless supply cash knows no boundaries, able to simultaneously pay off American police, prosecutors, and even judges. In many cases, cartels surrounding the border and in others they'll use outright intimidation to ensure that their business model isn't threatened by law and order.
That hasn't stopped many patriots in law enforcement or the Judicial system from taking a hard-line stance against them, choosing to fight the drugs flowing into America versus submitting to the deadly cartels.
The Obama administration, however, went against American law enforcement entirely by arming these corrupt and savage gangs of the cartels, and in the errors of their illegal activities, which is often the case surrounding the corrupt Obama Administration and his appointees, many of the firearms given to these cartels were mysteriously ‘lost’.
Yes, the Obama Administration and the Department of Justice not only armed genocidal maniacs but lost track of what happened to the arms, allegedly.
In fact, some border towns within America's sovereign cities are so dangerous due to cartel control and violence that the residents of those cities within the United States of America are living in fear.
The West Texas city of El Paso shares a border with Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico, which is the most dangerous city in Mexico and one of the worst in the world. In recent years, the violence in Juarez has begun to spill over to the U.S. side, endangering El Paso residents, law enforcement officers, and first responders.
Juarez is a battleground for drug-related violence, and these gangs have shown no mercy to Americans. In 2010, stray bullets from a gun battle in Juarez struck El Paso’s city hall and a university building, causing police to shut down a major border highway.
Along the border of San Diego, California, lies Tijuana, one of the most dangerous and violent cities in Mexico. Tijuana’s drug and human trafficking rings have infiltrated into San Diego, resulting in several homicides and kidnappings every year.
Gun battles between drug cartels and auto theft crimes are also very common along the border. Another concern along the San Diego-Tijuana border is the brutal raping of women and young girls by human smugglers.
Calexico, California, rests on the border of Mexicali in Baja California, Mexico. Calexico has more than 60,000 people pass through the town every day. Drug smuggling is a major issue in Calexico, where numerous smuggling tunnels have been discovered, and ultralight planes have been seen dropping bins of marijuana on to the American side.
One of Calexico’s most dangerous spots is the All American Canal, which is three miles from the U.S. Port of Entry at Calexico. Every year dozens of illegal aliens drown trying to cross this dangerous body of water and enter America. Border Patrol agents are often assaulted when trying to rescue illegal aliens along the canal.
Brownsville, Texas, lies across the border from Matamoros, Tamaulipas in Mexico, where drug wars and violence have become more and more common.
This city’s proximity to Mexico has caused several problems along the border, including gun battles that have struck buildings at The University of Texas at Brownsville and forced police to shut down border crossing bridges. Brownsville also sees its fair share of drug, weapon and human trafficking crimes across the border.
The small town of Columbus, New Mexico, shares a border with Puerto Palomas in Chihuahua, Mexico. In recent years, Columbus has become a breeding ground for organized crime, where an estimated 10 percent of the 2,000-person population may be involved in illegal activity.
Drug smugglers have made their homes here, and the town’s small police force is scandal-ridden and constantly in disarray. This was made obvious in March when the mayor of Columbus, the town’s police chief, and the village trustee was among several city officials indicted for trafficking firearms to Mexico.
Laredo is a South Texas city located on the north bank of the Rio Grande that borders Nuevo Laredo in Tamaulipas, Mexico. For many years, Laredo has been the target of cartel violence and drug trafficking for Mexican gangs and has added ransom kidnappings, a high-speed chase and a record-breaking weapons bust to the list of criminal activities happening there.
In 2010, the U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo was damaged from an explosive that was thrown over the wall by Mexican gang members.
Nogales, Arizona, shares a border with Nogales in Sonora, Mexico. The Mexican city of Nogales is ridden with violence and gang activity, which has managed to creep into the U.S. side over the last few years.
The ongoing fight for control of drug trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border has put Nogales, Arizona residents in greater danger. Last year, an Arizona rancher was killed on his property by a Mexican smuggler, and a massive gang-related gun battle broke out near the border, killing 21 people and wounding six.
McAllen is located at the southern tip of Texas in the Rio Grande Valley and is five miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. There lies the Mexican city of Reynosa in Tamaulipas, which is notorious for drug trafficking and border violence.
In 2008, one of Mexico’s most brutal drug cartels, Los Zetas, found its way into McAllen to regain control of drug trafficking routes in America. Mexican gang reinforcements have led to increased drug smuggling, money laundering, arms trafficking and immigration problems in McAllen.
These are just the eight most dangerous cities, and the statistics of the crime that has amassed as a result of the Cartels access to high-powered weaponry granted by the Obama Administration appointee Eric Holder and the Justice Department who failed to follow the law.
What will the future look like in those areas? Children are caught in the crossfire of bullets from the drug barons and their henchman who have no consideration whatsoever for human loss of life.
In a direct counter to what Democrats claimed, that the Trump Administration would destroy US-Mexico relations, the Obama Administration failure with Fast and Furious has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of Mexican Military being killed by the very American weapons the Marxist Obama gave to them.
The Mexican Military has often taken to the streets wearing full assault gear, and armed with heavy machinery, fighting against the cartels which seemingly have full control.
President Trump has consistently stated that he would give full support to the Mexican President to help counter this cartel flooding of America with illegal narcotics if Mexico were willing to cooperate to end the trafficking.
President Trump is tasked with cleaning up Obama’s mess every time he turns his head to a new area of focus, and in this case, it's going to be a deadly war against the some of the most wicked men in North America, the cartels, and gangs like MS-13, due to the previous Administration's failures in combating either.
As part of the revamped Department of Justice focus on these gangs, President Trump now has to send American Border Patrol Agents and Law Enforcement in border towns to fight against American armed Mexican terrorist cartels, as a direct result of a former President. A sad fight that America should never have to wage, but we will win.
Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the ICE tip line at 1-866-347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199.
<a href="https://www.ice.gov/webform/hsi-tip-form">They can also submit a tip over the internet by completing ICE’s online form by clicking here.</a>
Once again, we must thank all law enforcement agencies involved in this particular seizure, and continue to give praise to the agencies risking their lives in the border to prevent violence to Americans.
Unlike the Democratic Party’s bastion of open borders extremists, we give thanks to the law enforcement agencies on the Conservative side of the aisle, whereas liberals give praise to those committing crimes in the first place.
Thank you for your service.
