Border Czar Tom Homan is on a mission.
Homan knows success is the only option.
And Tom Homan took the gloves off with this plan to destroy the cartels.
As West Wing Daily reports:
Sealing the border isn’t about just stopping illegal aliens from marching into America.
Mexican drug cartels are smuggling poisonous fentanyl across the border which kills tens of thousands of Americans every year.
President Trump declared eight Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.
Fox News reported the groups included “Tren de Aragua; Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13; the Sinaloa Cartel; New Generation Cartel of Jalisco; United Cartels; Northeast Cartel; Gulf Cartel; and La Nueva Familia Michoacana, or LNFM, many of which go under multiple different names.”
The image Americans have in their minds of drug smugglers is using “mules” to transport narcotics into America across the border in vehicles.
But Jesse Watters asked Homan about the cartels changing up tactics and using boats and ships to traffic fentanyl into America.
Homan said the Trump administration was wise to this and boosted the Coast Guard presence at ports.
“Okay, they are going more maritime. We knew they would. That’s why we’ve increased our Coast Guard patrols three times, three times more we have in the past. So Coast Guard will answer that call,” Homan began.
Homan said President Trump wasn’t interested in swatting flies, Trump wanted to eradicate “them off the face of the earth.”
“So we’re going to shut them down maritime too. Look we’ll put them out of business. President Trump designated them criminal terrorist organizations, which they should be. They’ve killed more Americans than every terrorist organization in this world combined. President Trump will end up wiping them off the face of the earth, okay, we’re going to put them out of business,” Homan added.
Homan said declaring the cartels as terrorist organizations allowed the Justice Department and Drug Enforcement Agency to target their bank accounts in 43 different countries and choke off the supply of funds, which is their source of power as they use the money to bribe judges, cops, and Mexican officials.
“You put them out of business, you take their money away. They can’t bribe Mexican officials. They can’t bribe anybody. Without money, they have no power. We’re not just going to attack in Mexico, the Jalisco cartel. We’re going to attack them in the 43 countries they have operations currently. We’re going to attack them worldwide,” Homan concluded.
