Even Mexico sees Biden's immigration policy as a failure

Populist conservatives' biggest ally in the fight against illegal immigration, now running rampant at the U.S.-Mexico border, may be the socialist president of Mexico.


Reacting to a near-record surge of people through his country from all over the world, not just Central America as during the Obama years, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Biden’s policies are sparking a massive surge in illegal immigration to the U.S. and are providing business for the nation’s violent drug cartels.


As American's have seen over the past few weeks, Biden’s policies have already significantly impacted the border situation as more than 100,000 migrants were detained last month for illegally trying to enter the U.S., the highest total for the month of February since 2006. Unknown numbers successfully made it in to the United States, bypassing Customs and Border Patrol stations and disappearing into the nation's interior.


Critics in the U.S. have pointed out multiple problems with the Biden policy. Biden's "open border policy" has created a "disaster" in the form of growing numbers of illegal immigrants coming into the United States, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said last week.


"The Biden administration is committed to open borders and catch and release," the Wisconsin Republican told Fox News' "The Faulkner Report" Harris Faulkner Friday March 5. "We're over 4,000 a day. That's a caravan a day."


People are being released without being tested for COVID-19, he added, and the Biden administration quit building the border wall, even though it was paid for and obviously working, and rescinded all of former President Donald Trump's policies.


Ironically, Johnson's concerns are being mirrored in Mexico.


“They see him as the migrant president, and so many feel they’re going to reach the United States,” Lopez Obrador said of Biden Wednesday. “We need to work together to regulate the flow, because this business can’t be tackled from one day to the next.”


Officials in Lopez Obrador's government report that Mexican intelligence has found the cartels are “diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients as they eye U.S. measures that will ‘incentivize migration.'” The report goes on to say that at least two major cartels have complete abandoned drug trafficking to go into the business of moving people illegally into the United States.

Mexican intelligence details the incentives Biden's directives have created include “support for victims of gangs and violence, streamlining of the legalization process, and suspension of Trump-era accords that deported people to Central America.”


Mexico';s National Intelligence center (CNI) made the regional head of the Guanajuato Region, Juan Jose Olvera available to ACV Reports to further discuss the agency's report on immigrant activity at the two countries' border. Olvera was injured in a shoot-out with members of the Salamanca Cartel following an ambush in September 2019. He confirmed the basics of the report, though could not go into detail for security reasons.


Olvera told ACV Reports that all the cartels in the region changed their standard operating procedures "almost exactly at 12:01 p.m. Washington, D.C. time" January 20.


"The cartels are showing almost unprecedented levels of sophistication in their criminal activity, including briefing clients on the latest immigration rules, using technology to outfox authorities, and disguising smuggling operations as travel agencies.” Olvera said in a internet video interview Thursday morning.


"he smugglers communicate with the migrants on numerous social media channels to update them on checkpoints they may approach, when freight trains are scheduled so they can jump on as they pass, where to safely stay overnight and how to navigate Mexican and U.S. immigration laws.”


Additionally, Olvera said, the cartels are breaking caravan-sized groups into small units and splitting them up over a wide area as they approach the border. He believes the cartels are engaging in human trafficking of minors who them embed in the smaller groups "because your country makes it easier for those with children to get in."


The security chief added that the cartel "coyotes" coach the migrants on claiming they are oppressed, abused or economically disadvantaged to further ease their way into the U.S.


"We are also concerned that there could be a significant influx in migrants from outside the region," Olvera said in the interview, "the Caribbean, Asia, Africa and the Middle East — as coronavirus-led border restrictions begin easing.”


Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a news conference Thursday that the U.S.-Mexico border is being overwhelmed by migrant people, including unaccompanied children, and called the move ''part of the cartel's strategy'' to enable them to smuggle even more people into the U.S territory.


Greg Abbott also lashed out against the Biden administration for allowing U.S border patrol officers to ''babysit'' illegal immigrants and not use the rule of law.


"While they're doing babysitting," Abbott said, "that provides an opportunity for the cartels to be able to bring other people across the border illegally. This is actually part of the cartel strategy.
