- Paxton adds that the Biden administration indirectly funded cartels by encouraging illegal immigration, a profit center for them.
Cartel Corruption
- Carlson points out that, like other Latin American countries, the U.S. is vulnerable to cartel corruption due to the relatively low cost of bribing politicians.
- He questions whether politicians, judges, and journalists might be on cartel payrolls in Texas or California.
Soros-Funded DAs
