A shocking “60 Minutes” report exposed how Mexican drug cartels are exploiting America’s northern border. A smuggler working for the Sinaloa Cartel admitted to moving drugs and illegal immigrants across the U.S.-Canada line. He bragged that President Trump’s border policies won’t stop them. This proves Trump was right to warn about the dangers of open borders and weak leadership.
The smuggler, known as Javi, said his cartel charges $3,000 per person to sneak them into the U.S. Families with children get discounts. He even smuggles deadly fentanyl from China. Cartel members use TikTok and Facebook to advertise their services. Despite Trump’s crackdown, they’re finding new ways to avoid border patrols. Javi laughed off increased security, saying, “Canada’s border is much larger than Mexico’s. There are more entry points. That won’t stop us.”
Under Biden’s failed policies, the Sinaloa Cartel grew bolder. Now, Trump’s deportation orders are scaring illegal immigrants into fleeing to Canada. Javi admitted half his clients now head north to escape U.S. authorities. This puts our closest ally at risk. Canadian police are overwhelmed, begging for help to stop the flood of drugs and violent criminals.
The northern border is a disaster. Last year, agents caught 23,000 illegals there. While that’s far fewer than the southern border’s 1.5 million, the cartels see opportunity. They’re using frozen forests and remote roads to move fentanyl into American towns. Over 43 pounds of this poison were seized last year. Every ounce could kill thousands.
Trump slapped Canada with tariffs to force better border security. He ended Biden’s “catch and release” policies, cutting off benefits for over 500,000 illegal migrants. But weak leaders in Ottawa aren’t doing enough. They’re spending billions on drones and police, yet the cartels keep winning.
This crisis shows why America needs Trump’s strong leadership. Open borders invite chaos. The left’s refusal to secure our country lets gangs like Sinaloa profit. Until we get tough, drugs and violence will keep pouring in. Trump saw this coming. It’s time to finish what he started and put America’s safety first.
