Biden’s open border policies have contributed a major increase in drugs coming into the US. Cartels and smugglers have taken advantage of this situation and are transporting mass amounts of drugs across the border.

TGP previously reported that $10 million worth of meth and cocaine was found in vats of jalapeno paste.

A 28-year-old driver was arrested in December for transporting $10 million worth of meth and cocaine at the southern border in Otay Mesa, California.

The drugs were hidden in vats of jalapeno paste on a tractor-trailer that, ironically, was legally crossing the border.

The Border Patrol took possession of the drugs and the driver was turned over to Homeland Security.

Texas has seen results since Governor Greg Abbott secured their portion of the border. Eagle Pass has seen a 76 percent decrease in illegals crossing the border since the sector was locked down.

The Biden regime has been deflecting the border crisis by talking about a “broken immigration system.” The Federal Government can secure the border according to the US Constitution. TGP previously reported DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on NBCs “Meet the Press.” He put the blame on the immigration system instead of just admitting they are keeping the border open.
