As Cartels Get Stronger Due to Border Chaos, More Violence Expected in US – The Epoch Times

Mexican cartels are getting stronger as the Biden administration weakens security at the border, according to several current and former law enforcement officials.

Most cartel violence occurs in Mexico as different factions fight for territory along the border into the United States. Smuggling drugs and humans is their primary business, and they control the border.

But the cartels are also embedded inside the United States, and indications point to more violence stateside this year, according to Jason Jones, a former captain for the Texas Department of Public Safety, where he ran the border security operations center.

“The game has changed now,” Jones told The Epoch Times on March 3. “They don’t fear us. It’s just not like it used to be. And you can’t blame them. I mean, they have no reason to—we’ve done nothing to contain them. They’re just completely out of control.”

Jones said cartels will “absolutely cause more violence everywhere, much deeper into the United States as Joe Biden's reckless border policies gain more effect."

He said part of the problem with cross-border crime and cartel violence is that it’s not identified as such in the FBI’s uniform crime data system. The lack of information exacerbates the magnitude of the ultimate problem.

Biden's border crisis increases the difficulty greatly.
