While President Biden is hoping to distract Americans from his laundry list of disasters by harping on the Jan. 6 riot and attacking Donald Trump, border officials are more concerned by the true danger at our borders. Border officials are sounding the alarm on Mexican cartels and the fact that America is at a series disadvantage

Fox News reports:

“This isn’t a war, this isn’t something we are going to win,” Maj. Damon Cecil from the Arizona Department of Public Safety told Fox News. “Honestly, if we were looking at winning this, we’d be having to take the fight to where the enemy is, which is across the border.”

During a one-week period late in December, Arizona State Troopers seized over 664 pounds of methamphetamine and 37 pounds of fentanyl, according to DPS. The street value of all the drugs was estimated at over $5.1 million

According to Arizona DPS Director Col. Heston Silbert, the crisis facing the country now isn’t manageable for border officials.

“Border patrol is overwhelmed … this is something that’s affecting the whole Southwest border, but for us in Arizona, it is having a huge impact on Yuma County … an impact to the extent they can’t manage it the way they want to,” Silbert said.

Capt. Ben Buller also noted the uptick in dangerous weapons being seized at the border during drug busts.

“It’s because of the increase in value and potency of the drugs that are coming across, but it is also that the cartels are in a constant state of war with each other,” Cecil said. “There are what we call rip crews or crews that will try to rip off both humans and drugs from these coyotes or from these smugglers that are bringing the drugs in, so it has become a much more violent game in Mexico.”
