This shocking information highlights the \u2064extent to which transnational\u2062 criminal organizations control the U.S. southern \u200bborder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Record Number of Chinese Nationals Encountered \u200cat the Border<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Border Patrol chiefs \u200dtestified earlier this year that the cost\u2063 of entry into \u2064the U.S. \u2064varies \u200ddepending on the distance and location of entry. On average,\u200c it is estimated to be around $8,600.\u2063 However, if you are coming from China, the cost can skyrocket to $60,000. The\u2062 surge \u2062in encounters with\u200b Chinese nationals \u200cat \u200bthe\u200c border has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/deportations-plummet-90-percent-on-bidens-watch\/\" title=\"Deportations Plummet 90 Percent on Biden\u2019s Watch\">reached unprecedented levels<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Lucrative Business for\u2062 Cartels<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Human\u200b smuggling and\u200c trafficking have become highly \u2064profitable for the cartels, especially with the surge of illegal migrants under President Joe \u2063Biden. Chief of U.S. Border\u200d Patrol Jasen Owens revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackburn-cartels-traffickers-exploiting-unfinished-border-wall-construction\/\" title=\"Blackburn: Cartels, Traffickers Exploiting Unfinished Border Wall Construction\">transnational criminal organizations<\/a> in the Del Rio sector alone are making over $30 million weekly from \u200cthese\u200d operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Violence and \u2063Exploitation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The dangers faced by migrants attempting to cross the\u2063 border illegally are horrifying. Chief \u2064Patrol Agent Aaron \u2064Heitke of the San Diego sector highlighted that the cost of smuggling increases in areas with a higher chance of getting caught. Additionally, many women are subjected to rape during the smuggling process, with some seeing it as part of the payment to\u2062 ensure their passage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cartels maintain strict control over the border, resorting to brutal violence against those who try to enter without paying. Laredo Chief Patrol Agent Joel Martinez shared the\u2063 gruesome discovery of two bodies, suspected to be individuals who attempted to cross\u2064 without the cartel&#8217;s permission.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Detention and Border Walls as Solutions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During interviews with the committee, Border Patrol agents emphasized the need\u2063 to detain everyone instead \u2063of releasing them with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-court-hunter-biden-cries-poor-to-reduce-child-support-payments\/\" title=\"In Court, Hunter Biden Cries Poor to Reduce Child Support Payments\">future court dates<\/a>. This, they believe, would \u2062deter illegal immigration. Tucson Sector Chief\u2062 Patrol Agent John Modlin stated\u2064 that \u200bdetention until a hearing is the\u2062 most\u2063 effective way to discourage illegal immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino of El Centro highlighted\u2062 the effectiveness of border \u200bwalls in reducing illegal crossings. Areas with border walls have seen a significant decrease in both vehicular and pedestrian\u2063 incursions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1702741302552000&#038;usg=AOvVaw0j7iIgqNi0bR5AgQ4rgPM4\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ \u2062APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Biden&#8217;s Denial of the Crisis<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite Border Patrol recording over \u2063300,000 illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border in\u200d December, President Biden has denied the existence of a crisis. This alarming situation demands immediate attention and action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does the exorbitant fees charged by smugglers contribute to\u200c the funding of\u2063 criminal organizations and further destabilize \u2062Mexico and \u2062the \u2064United States?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  N Hull \u200btestified that \u200bsmugglers have no regard for human life\u2062 and often subject \u2062migrants to violence, \u200dexploitation, and other \u2064forms of \u2062abuse. This includes forcing \u200cthem to endure harsh conditions during the journey,\u200b such \u200das being overcrowded in vehicles\u2064 or walking through desert areas \u200bwithout adequate food or water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The exorbitant fees charged by smugglers not \u2064only exploit desperate individuals seeking \u200ca better life in the United States but also fund criminal organizations that engage in other illicit activities. The \u200bsmuggling industry has become \u2062a\u2062 major\u2063 source of revenue for these cartels, allowing them to expand \u2064their operations\u200d and\u200b further destabilize both \u200cMexico and the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Implications for National Security<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that Chinese nationals are willing to pay such exorbitant amounts\u2062 to \u2063enter\u2062 the United States illegally raises concerns about potential threats to \u2063national security. These individuals may be willing to pay large sums of money\u200d because they have the means to do so, suggesting that \u200cthey may have \u200caccess to resources or connections that pose a risk to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, the unchecked flow\u2064 of illegal immigrants across\u2064 the southern border presents \u2063a significant challenge for \u200blaw enforcement agencies in effectively identifying and vetting individuals\u2062 entering the country. This creates a potential loophole for criminals, terrorists, and individuals with malicious intent to enter the United States undetected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Need \u2064for Stronger \u200dBorder Security<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The findings of this report underscore the importance\u200d of\u200d addressing the issue of illegal immigration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-disaster-biden-admin-sets-new-border-record-as-illegal-crossings-surge\/\" title=\"'Biden Admin Breaks Border Record Amidst Surging Illegal Crossings'\">strengthening border security measures<\/a>. It is imperative for the U.S. \u200cgovernment to prioritize the protection of its \u200cborders \u2063and \u200cthe\u2064 safety of its citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This includes investing in \u200c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/drones-carrying-explosives-are-latest-threat-to-us-border-security-sen-chuck-grassley\/\" title=\"Sen. Chuck Grassley warns of drones as new threat to US border security.\">enhanced border infrastructure<\/a>, deploying additional border \u2062patrol agents, and leveraging technology to \u2063detect and deter unauthorized border crossings. It is also crucial to continue collaborating with international partners, such as Mexico, to disrupt and dismantle criminal organizations involved in human smuggling and trafficking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The revelation that smugglers are charging \u2064up\u200c to $60,000 for illegal entry into the United States, \u2063particularly from China, highlights the extent of \u200ccontrol that transnational \u200bcriminal organizations\u2064 have over the U.S. \u200csouthern border. This lucrative business not \u200bonly exploits vulnerable individuals but also poses significant national security \u200brisks. \u200bStronger border\u200b security measures and international\u200c cooperation \u2063are \u200dessential in addressing this issue \u2062and \u200bsafeguarding the integrity of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Border Patrol officials informed lawmakers that Chinese illegal immigrants are charged as much as $60,000 by smugglers to unlawfully enter the US.
