2) Mexico’s disdain for American laws for USA border protection - although dated, it’s applicable. Excellent article!

2005-Autumn Mexico’s Undiplomatic Diplomats: It’s time for Mexican consulates to stop aiding and abetting illegal
immigration. [Also listed under Mexico’s Tricks below]
https //www city-journal org/html/mexico%E2%80%99s-undiplomatic-diplomats-12891 html
Excerpt: Mexican officials here and abroad are involved in a massive and almost daily interference in American
sovereignty…They are there thanks in part to Mexico’s efforts to get them into the U.S. in violation of American law,
and to normalize their status once here in violation of the popular will. Mexican consulates are engineering a
backdoor amnesty for their illegal migrants and trying to discredit American immigration enforcement

4) Chinese cartels quietly operating in Mexico. As part of the CCP's unrestricted warfare model, they have progressed significantly
against America with their enhanced role in the drug business. They can make multibillions and, at the same time, undermine the
security of America," claimed Derek Maltz, a retired special agent in charge at the DEA. "A kilogram of fentanyl can kill 500,000
people, so the administration should look at the death rates and treat this as a serious national security threat as opposed to only
a public health crisis."
Fox News
2020/11/12 Chinese 'cartels' quietly operating in Mexico, aiding US drug crisis. The next US administration will have
to counter the growing operation, which is claiming a growing number of American lives annually
https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinese-cartels-mexico-us-drug-crisis
Excerpt: the growing presence of Chinese drug lords and cartels below the southern border is one that is killing an
unprecedented amount of Americans. According to multiple Mexico-based security and intelligence professionals,
the bulk of the deadly work is carried out by the "Los Zheng" wing, identified as having "the largest presence in
Mexico for the trafficking of fentanyl and methamphetamine." As per intelligence findings by security firm Fortress
Risk Management, obtained exclusively by Fox News, the Zhengs operate through seemingly legitimate shell
companies that offer veterinary services, clothing sales, clinical laboratories and maintenance of computer systems
in Mexico.
…"You can't bring anything into the country without paying off someone," Calderon asserted. "There are a lot of
'fixers' and guards assigned to these entry ports making a killing from China too." Experts emphasize that it is a well-
oiled machine in which each player has a distinct role and piece of the pie. Chinese-led money laundering procedures
inside Mexico are said to be igniting faster growth and movement of the drug, which was initially developed for use as
both an anesthetic and painkiller up to 100 times more potent than heroin.
Yet in cases such as Los Zheng, legitimate pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are used as "fronts" or as a
blurring between the legal and illegal missions.
…"For the past 12 years, Chinese criminal organizations have become the backbone to the drug cartels with
chemicals supplied to the cartels and laundering tens of billions of the cartel profits in North America and Europe,"
said Richard Higgins, author of "The Memo: Twenty Years Inside the Deep State Fighting for America First," president
of HTG, LLC, a strategic security and information warfare consulting who previously served on the National Security
Council as the director for strategic planning. "Chinese-organized criminals south and north of the border are very
sophisticated using WeChat and other forms of encrypted communication."
5) SIA’s Border terrorist threats. Keep at top awareness terrorist threats
Although dated now, take a look at this article discussing what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson had been
trying to do to focus on a terrorist problem and to educate the public.

2018/08/13 Terrorist Infiltration Threat at the Southwest Border
The national security gap in America’s immigration enforcement debate. Todd Bensman
https://cis.org/Report/Terrorist-Infiltration-Threat-Southwest-Border
Excerpt: Secretary Johnson saw a need to educate the general public about what was about to happen. Public affairs staffs
would craft messaging that the new program would "protect the United States and our partners against this potential
threat." However, no known Public Affairs Office education about SIA immigration materialized as Secretary Johnson and
most of his agency heads were swept out of office some months later by the election of Republican President Donald
Trump. Whatever reputed threat about which the Obama administration wanted to inform the public near its end remains
narrowly known. So, too, are whatever operations developed from the secretary's 2016 directive. Perhaps notably, the
cross-border migration of people from Muslim-majority nations, as a trending terror threat, has gone missing during
contentious national debates over President Trump's border security policies and wall. Most discourse has been confined to
Spanish-speaking border entrants rather than on those who speak Arabic, Pashtun, and Urdu. So what is an SIA and why, in
2016, did this "potential national security threat" require the urgent coordinated attention of agencies, with not much word
about it since? This Backgrounder provides a factual basis necessary for anyone inclined to add the prospect of terrorism
border infiltration, via SIA smuggling, to the nation's ongoing discourse about securing borders. It provides a definition of
SIAs and a history of how homeland security authorities have addressed the issue since 9/11. Since SIA immigration traffic is
the only kind with a distinct and recognized terrorism threat nexus, its apparent sidelining from the national debate
presents a particular puzzlement.

Excerpt: One former CBP commissioner actually told me on the record that they made mistakes and, in fact, hired cartel
members. And what you began to see by late 2009, running through 2014, was both a huge rise in on-the-job excessive force
complaints, shootings that fell far outside the protocols for modern policing, and also this incredible wave of crime and
corruption of agents participating in drug smuggling and human trafficking themselves, of taking bribes, of looking past
illegal immigrants crossing through their checkpoints. It got so bad that by 2013, actually, the DHS officer who was in charge
of investigating misconduct in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas felt that he fell so far behind in investigating CBP misconduct
that he began falsifying records and was indicted himself.

Tomsheck
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/homeland-security/333698-why-is-congress-proposing-to-increase-
customs-and
Excerpt: During my 40-year career in law enforcement I served as a police officer, U.S. Secret Service Special
Agent, and Assistant Commissioner at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), heading the Office of Internal
Affairs. In these positions, I was guided by one principle: law enforcement’s vital mission must be
accomplished with integrity. From those decades of experience, the cases that most disturb me are people who
applied to work at CBP - the country’s largest law enforcement agency - and admitted in the screening process
to committing serious criminal offenses, including drug smuggling, rape, and infanticide, or confessed to
seeking employment as infiltrators paid by transnational criminal organizations or cartels…Based on my
experience, I have an urgent obligation to speak out against a law Congress is close to enacting that would
weaken CBP hiring standards imposed by the Anti-Border Corruption Act of 2010. The House Anti-Border
Corruption Reauthorization Act (H.R.2213), scheduled for a floor vote on Wednesday, and the Senate Boots on
the Border Act (S. 595), scheduled to be considered that morning by the Senate Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs Committee, would exempt certain law enforcement and military applicants for CBP
positions from the polygraph examination only recently mandated by Congress. Mandatory polygraphs for all
CBP law enforcement applicants, which are standard at the FBI, DEA, ATF, and Secret Service, were a
congressional response to widespread corruption and other policing abuses at CBP that followed a rushed
hiring surge last decade. Damaging compromises of CBP integrity ensued, including cartel infiltration achieved
by hired applicants who did harm to the United States. I know from first-hand experience that the bills moving
in Congress, backed by current CBP leadership desperate to hire more agents, would exacerbate corruption
and abusive misconduct by adding unsuitable personnel who conceal criminal pasts - and/or have future intent
to compromise CBP's mission - so as to threaten our national security. Indeed, a random sample of 1,000
polygraphs conducted after applicants were cleared by CBP's background screening concluded that 65 percent
of these applicants failed the polygraph, with many providing detailed descriptions of their involvement in
criminal activity.

2021/10/06 Republican governors unveil 10-point plan for ending border crisis
by Anna Giaritelli,
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/republican-governors-unveil-10-point-plan-crisis-texas-border
Governors Involved - GOP 10 Point Plan to Secure Borders
Abbott, Doug Ducey of Arizona, Brian Kemp of Georgia, Brad Little of Idaho, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Greg Gianforte of
Montana, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, Mike DeWine of Ohio, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, and Mark Gordon of Wyoming — laid
out a plan to reinstate many of former President Donald Trump’s immigration and border strategies. The policies would
“restore security and end the crisis,” according to a copy of a document shared with the Washington Examiner before the
press conference.
Plan
The governors' full Joint Policy Framework on the Border Crisis is copied below:
•
Continue Title 42 public health restrictions: The Biden Administration should continue to invoke Title 42 to refuse entry to
individuals coming into the country due to the COVID-19 public health risk, which was initially issued by the previous
administration. Title 42 currently expels approximately 44% of apprehensions. In July, more than 18% of migrant families and
20% of unaccompanied minors tested positive for COVID-19 upon being released from Border Patrol custody. Reports estimate
that the Biden Administration has placed approximately 40,000 COVID-19 positive migrants into American cities.
•
Dedicate federal resources to eradicate human trafficking and drug trafficking: Due to the rapid increase of cartel activity, the
Biden Administration should dedicate additional resources to eradicate the surge in human trafficking and drug trafficking,
arrest offenders, support victims, and get dangerous drugs—like fentanyl and methamphetamine—off our streets.
•
Resume the deportation of all criminals: The Biden Administration should enforce all deportation laws of criminally convicted
illegal aliens. Upon taking office, President Biden issued an Executive Order ordering the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to prioritize only the deportation of aggravated felons, gang members, or terrorists, leaving other criminals to
remain in the United States.
•
Re-enter all agreements with our Northern Triangle partners and Mexico: President Biden should re-enter the prior
administration’s agreement with the Northern Triangle countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) and Mexico. The
countries agreed to enforce their respective borders, fix their asylum systems, and receive migrants seeking asylum before
they journey north to the United States. Upon taking office, President Biden issued an Executive Order terminating the
agreements.
•
Provide notice and transparency to states on unaccompanied minors and migrants: The Biden Administration should instruct
the Office of Refugee Resettlement to notify states when the federal government is transporting migrants who will be reliant
upon their state’s social safety net. Currently, an unknown number of migrants, including unaccompanied minor children, are
being secretly transported into states without notice to those who will ultimately have to provide resources to them, such as
healthcare, education, benefits, and more.
•
Send a clear message to potential migrants: President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Biden Administration officials at every
level should state clearly and unequivocally that our country’s borders are not open and that migrants seeking economic
opportunity should not attempt to abuse or misuse the asylum process. Prior to and after taking office, President Biden
blatantly encouraged illegal immigrants to come to the United States.
•
Deploy more federal law enforcement officers and National Guard troops: Due to overwhelming needs at the border, the Biden
Administration should deploy more and provide greater resources to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. In line with the prior four presidents who deployed National Guard troops to
the border, the Biden Administration should request additional military assistance and invoke Title X to reimburse states for
their troops serving at the border. Due to a lack of federal resources, Arizona and Texas have had to initiate an Emergency
Management Assistance Compact to request law enforcement resources directly from states, receiving offers from eight states,
to arrest and detain illegal trespassers.
•
End catch and release and clear the judicial backlog: The Biden Administration should end the Obama-era policy of catching
and releasing apprehended migrants into U.S. cities along the South Texas border, leaving illegal immigrants paroled and able
to travel anywhere in the country. In addition, the Biden Administration should dedicate additional judges and resources to
our U.S. immigration courts to end the growing backlog and expedite court appearances for illegal migrants. Reports indicate
backlogged cases total more than 1 million, the most ever. Upon taking office, President Biden issued an Executive Order
reinstating catch and release policies that incentivize illegal immigration and make deportation laws difficult to enforce.
Fully reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols: The Biden Administration should comply with recent federal court rulings and
fully reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) established by the prior administration, which require asylum seekers to
return to Mexico to await their court hearing outside of the United States, serving as a deterrent to cross. Upon taking office,
President Biden issued a directive to terminate the MPP, and although litigation may continue, the Biden Administration should
halt any attempts to appeal and fully reinstate the policy
Finish securing the border: The Biden Administration should reopen construction contracts to continue building the border
wall and invest in infrastructure and technology, such as lights, sensors, or access roads, to complete the border security
system. Upon taking office, President Biden terminated the national emergency at the border, stopped all border construction,
and redirected funds to build the wall.
