Sara Carter: Lethal cartels control border – they make billions on drugs, trafficking while migrants suffer
Fox News
On Jan. 22, 12 Mexican state police officers allegedly participated in the mass murder of 19 people, including migrants from Guatemala, who were only miles away from the Texas border.
The investigation is ongoing but authorities in Mexico suspect that the smugglers didn’t pay the local cartel's pisos, a sort of tax imposed for using their territory to move people across. In the end the migrants paid the ultimate price. The cartels operate under their own rules and the migrants, along with the nation's own national security, are at their mercy. These are the deaths that are often ignored in the tragedy of the illegal immigration debate, but they are frequent and horrific.More Related News
