<strong>Mr. Morgan said<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-special-counsels-office-is-investigating-the-2016-dnc-server-hack\/\" title=\"Exclusive: Special Counsel\u2019s Office Is Investigating The 2016 DNC Server Hack\">asked point blank<\/a> whether drug cartels and human smugglers from Mexico were &#8220;benefiting&#8221; and &#8220;still making money&#8221; off the app, <strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> didn&#8217;t mince words, saying\u2063 that the cartels\u2062 have\u200d an &#8220;incredible ability&#8221; to change their &#8220;tactics, techniques and procedures,&#8221; and that the groups have &#8220;literally taken\u200b over the app.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one of the areas I\u2062 get really frustrated because I learned a long\u200d time ago that the intentional \u200domission \u200dof a material fact is\u200d the same thing as\u2062 a lie,&#8221; <strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> said of how the app is being\u2063 presented. &#8220;And that&#8217;s what this administration is reporting \u200cto the American people &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>App Use by \u2063Cartels<\/h2>\n<p>According to the former CBP \u2064chief, cartels have only gotten \u200bstronger and better monetized over the last 40 years by running not just drugs, but illegal aliens through the southwest\u200c border. He asserted that\u2064 has become particularly true over the last\u200d 30 months during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> said \u2063that while the users of the CBP One app are supposed to use it while in Mexico to set an appointment at a point of entry, the cartels have reportedly &#8220;overcome&#8221; the app, and they can get someone from anywhere to put in their application and then move someone to the appropriate point to \u2064get through the border via an asylum claim and into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s equivalent to\u200b the Willy Wonka \u200bChocolate Factory ticket,&#8221; <strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> \u200d said. \u2062&#8221;As long as [migrants] have that appointment, [Officials are] just stepping aside, letting them come on \u200bin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The\u2062 overwhelming majority of \u200cmigrants coming to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-hears-remain-in-mexico-case\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Hears \u2018Remain In Mexico\u2019 Case\">border claiming asylum<\/a> are false claims &#8230; the \u2064data proves that there are economic migrants,&#8221; <strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<p>The former CBP \u2062official went so far as to say that the Biden administration, and particularly Homeland\u2062 Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, are lying to the American people and that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cartels-are-exploiting-us-government-app-for-illegal-immigrants-says-former-border-chief\/\" title=\"Former border chief claims cartels are exploiting US government app for illegal immigrants.\">recently released border reports<\/a>\u200d do not accurately reflect the true extent of illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What this administration is doing knowingly and with intent, they&#8217;re allowing our laws\u200b to continue to be exploited and letting them come through \u200bthe front door \u2062as they look the other way, and\u200c then they&#8217;re calling it a legal pathway,&#8221; \u2063 <strong>Mr.\u2063 Morgan<\/strong> said.\u2064 &#8220;It&#8217;s a perversion and violation of the law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>App Use for \u200dParole<\/h2>\n<p>Both panelists \u200cspoke about the use of \u2064the CBP One app by those who hope\u200b to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Appendix-2_Humanitarian-Parole-Information_ENGLISH-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paroled into\u200c the\u2062 United States<\/a>, explaining that anyone who was \u2063born in Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, \u2063or\u2064 Venezuela can apply for parole in\u2062 the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That itself is a circumvention \u200bof the law,&#8221; <strong>Mr. Morgan<\/strong> said of the program.
