Biden's open border policies have contributed to a significant increase in the entry of drugs into the United States. Gangs and smugglers took advantage of this situation and transported large quantities of drugs across the border.
TGP previously reported that $10 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine were found in jars of jalapeno paste.
A 28-year-old driver was arrested in December for transporting $10 million worth of methamphetamine and cocaine at the southern border in Otay Mesa, California.
The drugs were hidden in jars of jalapeño paste on a tractor trailer and, ironically, were crossing the border legally.
The Border Guard seized the drugs and the driver was handed over to Internal Security.
Texas has seen results since Gov. Greg Abbott secured its portion of the border. Eagle Pass has seen a 76 percent drop in the number of illegal immigrants crossing the border since the sector was closed.
The Biden regime has been avoiding a border crisis by talking about a “broken immigration system.” The federal government can secure the border according to the US Constitution. TGP previously reported on DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on NBC's “Meet the Press.” He blamed the immigration system rather than simply acknowledging that they are keeping the border open.
