Deeply troubling images show heavily armed cartel members carrying rifles and wearing body armor while crossing the U.S. southern border.
Law enforcement has confirmed that three men were captured at night by cameras near Fronton, Texas. Border Patrol agents were deployed, but found nothing.
The men were moving through the brushes in order to cross the border illegally. In June, law enforcement arrested five suspected members of the Northeast Cartel in the same area. (Trending: Bombshell Report Reveals Collusion Between FBI and Clintons)
Fronton, TX is a heavy cartel area with significant drug smuggling. Border Patrol sources tell me armed gunmen are frequently encountered there. This was another group of suspected cartel gunmen who were arrested there in June. https://t.co/SJ4koq6Fta

The U.S. southern border has been a major crisis since Joe Biden took over in the White House. Under Trump, Americans enjoyed the lowest level of illegal immigration in decades.
In 2021, the year Biden came into office, U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 1.7 million migrants. This is a 200% increase from the number of apprehensions in fiscal year 2020 when Trump was president.
There are a number of factors driving the current crisis. One is the economic and political instability in Central America. Many people in these countries are fleeing violence, poverty, and corruption. (Trending: North Face Has A Bud Light Moment And It’s Ugly)
The Biden administration has failed to address the crisis and Democrats have made the situation worse by fighting to end the Trump-era policy of expelling migrants under Title 42.
The Biden administration has refused to take bold action to address the problem and Democrats have failed to provide Border security with sufficient resources to enforce U.S. law.
A 2023 poll by the Pew Research Center found that 62% of Americans said that illegal immigration is a very or somewhat big problem. This number has remained relatively stable over the past few years.
Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say that illegal immigration is a big problem. In the 2023 Pew Research Center poll, 83% of Republicans said that illegal immigration is a very or somewhat big problem, compared to 39% of Democrats.
Republicans support increased border security while Democrats largely favor a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. In the 2023 Pew Research Center poll, 53% of Americans said that the government should focus on increasing border security and enforcement while only 42% said that the government should focus on the Democrats’ goal of amnesty.
