Even though I understand the President of Mexico recently claimed
there were no drug cartel murders going on at the very time when there
were an enormous number that happened within the few days of him saying
that, we know there is murder, there is corruption, and it is from the
drug cartels. And the gangs and the coyotes that bring people into the United
States illegally, they answer to the drug cartels. It is the Border
Patrol that told me over and over, every inch of the U.S.-Mexico border
is spoken for by some drug cartel; and if you cross into the United
States without paying an appropriate price or dues to that drug cartel,
then you are not going to last very long because they feel they have to
make an example of you. I saw one estimate of $70 billion or $80 billion, somewhere around
there, estimated to have gone from the United States into Mexico, to
the drug cartels, for illegal drugs. Well, if we build a wall where it
is appropriate and we totally secure our border 100 percent, then that
$70 billion, $80 billion that is used for the drug cartels in their
corruption of the Mexican cities and federal government and state
government, that dries up to nothing.
