Cartel human smuggling business is turning entire border towns into war zones
Nature abhors a vacuum.
[FoxNews] Mexican drug cartels are making millions in profits from the hundreds of thousands of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border and are now turning entire border towns into war zones.

The money left by the migrants trying to get across the border wall from Mexico into the U.S. to criminal organizations that are charging to guide them across, extorting them or kidnapping them is creating a multimillion-dollar illegal business. Now the different criminal organizations operating across the border are fighting to death for a piece of the pie.

From small towns like Sonoyta, across the border from Lukeville, Arizona, to entire cities like Ciudad Juárez, across the river from El Paso, Texas, different cartels are killing each other and challenging Mexican authorities to gain control of the smuggling routes.

Would you settle for autonomous robot dogs patrolling the border? And not just robot dogs, these are robot dogs with friggin' shotguns on their heads!

#7 The last bulwark against the encouraged invasion is breached by the Roberts Court in a triumph of "principled fidelity to the Constitution" over sanity. Because the Founders never envisioned a Biden/Obama Malignancy!
