Mexican cartels have benefitted from the Biden administration’s open-border policy, contributing to more human smuggling across the border and the crime surge in American cities, according to Victor Avila, a retired special agent with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
“We’re having a crisis at the border, and the people that are benefiting are the organized crime and these cartels, which has spilled into the United States,” Avila told The Epoch Times at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, Texas.
