It's An Invasion: "Cartels sending migrant mobs of thousands to overwhelm the US border"

The New York Post reports:

    Drug cartels are besieging the border by deliberately sending thousands of migrants a day to hand themselves over to Border Patrol officers in different US border towns, sources revealed to The Post.

    The tactic is meant to tie up already overworked border agents so Mexico’s cartels can carry on their drug and human smuggling operations undisturbed in less populated areas, law enforcement officials explained.

Also:

    “The way it’s being orchestrated through the cartels, I believe it’s meant to overwhelm the system. The [places] that are being impacted the most are border communities,” former El Paso City Councilmember Claudia Rodriquez told The Post.

    Border Patrol agents are already getting help from cargo inspection agents who have been pulled from their regular duties to help deal with the waves of migrants, US Customs and Border Protection said.

Thus the closure of the port of entry at El Paso.
