Basically they fake a play over here and the real play\u2019s going to the left. So when we get distracted with 15 to 20,000 Haitians under a bridge, that resulted in several hundred miles of border having no border agents on it at all. That\u2019s where the cartels push the narcotics through; the criminal aliens, people that will not give up. We have over 400,000 documented \u2018gotaways,\u2019 people or incidents where people crossed the border and got away this past year; hundreds of miles of border where we have no idea what took place. That\u2019s what mass migration creates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News\u2019 Bret Baier commented, \u201cYou\u2019re talking about the cartels and moving all kinds of material, but specifically drugs through the border. So this \u2018look at the shiny thing over here\u2019 happens every day?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott: \u201cIt happens every day. It happens increasingly the more they can distract, the more that they can overwhelm our resources. &nbsp;So for example, in Del Rio, 100% of the Border Patrol agents for a couple of days were focused on that bridge. But we also keep forgetting that\u2019s a big border; McAllen is still out of control; Yuma is getting overrun \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.0841121495327\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott says &#8220;over 400,000 documented &#8216;gotaways'&#8221; have illegally entered the United States this year. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0IQr6Sd4lX\">pic.twitter.com\/0IQr6Sd4lX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1445525636408229896?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dante Sorianello, the assistant special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration in the San Antonio district, <a href=\"https:\/\/foxsanantonio.com\/news\/yami-investigates\/dea-drug-cartels-exploit-the-migrant-surge-at-the-border\">stated<\/a>, \u201cThe trafficking groups that smuggle narcotics across the border \u2014 were trying to surge and push a lot more narcotics into the country because they felt that the checks and balances and security was lessened, due to the immigration issues occurring. \u2026 In the last year, DEA and law enforcement authorities have seized over 9.5 million counterfeit \u2013 fentanyl-laced pills. That is over twice as many that were seized in the last two years. So this is a real threat that is out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, \u201cCBP, Border Patrol. They are the first line of defense for the United States on our borders. It is critical. Without them, doing their jobs, I believe the United States very vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
