The move comes as drug cartels take advantage of Biden\u2019s open border policies by smuggling deadly narcotics inside the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Biden issued an executive order enclosed in a letter to Congress authorizing Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to \u201corder to active duty units and individual members of the Ready Reserve \u2026 to ensure DOD can sustain its support of DHS concerning international drug trafficking along the southwest border.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> authorizes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecDef?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SECDEF<\/a> and Homeland Security SEC &#8220;to order to active duty such units and individual members of the Ready Reserve to ensure&#8221; DoD can &#8220;properly sustain its support&#8221; of Homeland Security &#8220;concerning international drug trafficking along the Southwest Border.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FZlBwfYWSO\">pic.twitter.com\/FZlBwfYWSO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Howard Altman (@haltman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/haltman\/status\/1651636998107537409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Fentanyl Crisis<\/h3>\n<p>According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), more than 107,000 Americans died last year from violence and drug overdose at the hands of two major Mexican drug cartels \u2014 the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation criminal organizations. DEA officials mapped out the multi-faceted fentanyl crisis three years ago as the flow of the deadly opioid became more diverse compared to its start in 2014. Mexico and China are the primary sources, along with India, for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador blamed \u201ca lack of love\u201d in American families for the deadly fentanyl crisis ravaging the U.S., saying the country does not produce fentanyl, calling the crisis America\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department estimated that $154 billion in illicit funds pass through China annually, labeling the nation as a global hub of money laundering activity. Drug cartels and Chinese money laundering organizations have partnered together and created a system that uses Chinese banking apps and other popular Chinese encrypted communications technology, like WeChat.<\/p>\n<h3>Record Surge of Migration Expected<\/h3>\n<p>Biden\u2019s authorization of deploying soldiers to the southern border comes as his administration braces for another record surge of migration when the Title 42 COVID restrictions officially end May 11, which has blocked immigrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border more than 2.5 million times before the pandemic. DHS Secretary Mayorkas said the U.S. would establish regional processing centers for immigrants seeking entry to reduce the number of arrivals after the restrictions end. \u201cOur border is not open and will not be open after May 11,\u201d Mayorkas said.<\/p>\n<p>Since Biden took office over two years ago, lawmakers estimate up to six million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border, which has drawn wide criticism from critics of the administration.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden authorized Defense Department officials on Thursday to deploy active duty and reserve soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border amid an international drug trafficking crisis overwhelming the southern border and American communities.
