United States-Mexican border is
experiencing an alarming rise in drug-human and Terrorist smuggling
activity
by Michael Webster: Investigative Reporter.
Feb 1, 2008 11:00 PM PST
The federal government acknowledges that the United
States-Mexican border region has been experiencing an alarming rise in
the level of criminal cartel activity, including drug and human
smuggling, which has placed significant additional burdens on Federal,
State, and local law enforcement agencies.
The U.S. border with Mexico extends nearly 2,000 miles
along the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
In most areas, the border is located in remote and sparsely populated
areas of vast desert and rugged mountain terrain with vast open water of
the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific oceans.
The U.S. government admits that the border’s vast length
and varied terrain poses significant challenges to U.S. law enforcement
efforts to control the entry of individuals and goods into the United
States.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the federal agency with primary
responsibility to detect and prevent illegal entry into the United
States. The latest available data indicates that approximately 11,000
CBP agents patrol the nearly 6,000 miles of international border the
United States shares with its neighbors Mexico and Canada.
In addition to Federal agents, State, sheriff, and local
police dept's are expected to help patrol the border areas. In remote
areas along the border, many sheriffs’ departments are called upon to
address border-related criminal matters and serve as a backstop to CBP
operations. In many cases, these local law enforcement agencies do not
have the resources necessary to patrol the thousands of square miles of
border territory under their respective jurisdiction, leaving the
security of the U.S. border vulnerable.
While the Southwest border hosts robust legal commercial
activity, the border also is the site of violent criminal enterprises.
These enterprises are carried out by organized criminal syndicates of
Mexican/American cartels, gangs and international terrorist which
include the smuggling of WMD's, drugs, humans, weapons, and cash across
the U.S.-Mexico border.
With the latest available government static's reporting
that during 2005, Border Patrol apprehended approximately 1.2 million
illegal aliens; of those 165,000 were from countries other than Mexico.
Of the non-Mexican aliens, approximately 650 were from so called special
interest countries. Special interest countries are those “designated by
the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals
that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism.”
Global
Terrorist And Drug Trafficking Cartels
A significant portion of illegal activity at the border
relates to illegal drug smuggling. The triple plus threat of drug
smuggling, illegal and unknown crossers, and rising violence are the
reality facing communities. While it is true that many illegal aliens
cross the border searching for employment, not all illegal aliens are
crossing into the United States to find work. U.S. and Mexican law
enforcement believe and in fact has stated that some individuals come
across the border because they have been forced to leave their home
countries due to their criminal activity. These dangerous criminals are
fleeing the law in other countries and seeking refuge in the United
States.
Along the border with Mexico, there are 43 Ports of
Entry, 18 in Texas alone, connecting with major U.S. interstate highways
leading to all parts of our nation. These Ports or Entry and highway
systems are intended to facilitate lawful trade and commerce. However,
the Mexican drug cartels have been able to use these highways for their
own ends, seeing in them an efficient means to transport their drugs and
illegal aliens (including terrorist) across the border.
The government reports that Mexican drug cartels and
gangs operating along the Southwest border are more sophisticated and
dangerous than any other organized criminal enterprise. The Mexican
cartels, and the smuggling rings and gangs they leverage, wield
substantial control over the routes into the United States and pose
substantial challenges to U.S. law enforcement to secure the Southwest
border. The cartels operate along the border with military grade
weapons, technology and intelligence and their own respective
paramilitary enforcers.
In addition, human smugglers coordinate with the drug
cartels, paying a fee to use the cartels’ safe smuggling routes into the
Unites States. There are also indications the cartels may be moving to
diversify their criminal enterprises to include the increasingly
lucrative human and terrorist smuggling trade.
New Terrorist Bases South
Of The Border
Moreover, global law enforcement has established
that there is increasing coordination between Mexican drug cartels and
middle eastern countries in drug and human smuggling networks which also
involves U.S.-based gangs. The cartels use street and prison gangs
located in the United States as their distribution networks. In the
United States, the gang members operate as surrogates and enforcers for
the cartels.
Murders and kidnappings on the both sides of the border
have significantly increased in recent years.
They're known as "Los Zetas
The violence along the U.S.-Mexican border has
increased so dramatically, the United States Ambassador to Mexico, Tony
Garza, during his term issued an unprecedented number of diplomatic
notes to the Mexican Government and threat advisories to U.S. citizens
traveling to Mexico. During August 2005, the Ambassador had to
temporally close the U.S. consulate in Nuevo Laredo in order to assess
security.
This new generation of sophisticated and violent
cartels, along the Southwest border, is presenting significant
challenges to U.S. law enforcement. These criminal syndicates have
unlimited money to buy the most advanced weapons and technology
available. The cartels monitor the movements and communications of law
enforcement and use that intelligence to enable the criminals to
transport their assorted human and other cargo accordingly.
In addition to the criminal activities and violence
already pointed about the cartels on our Southwest border, there is an
ever-present threat of increased terrorist and WMD infiltration over the
Southwest border. Data indicates that there are hundreds of illegal
aliens apprehended entering the United States each year who are from
countries known to support and sponsor terrorism.
U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement investigations have revealed that aliens were
smuggled from the Middle East to staging areas in Central and South
America, before being smuggled illegally into the United States.
It is a fact that members
of the terrorist group Hezbollah have already entered the United States
across the Southwest border.
U.S. military and
intelligence officials believe that Venezuela is emerging as a staging
hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere. The Venezuelan government is
believed to be issuing identity documents that are subsequently used to
obtain a U.S. visa for terrorists to enter this country illegally.
In response to the increasing criminal activity and
violence along the Texas-Mexico border, the State of Texas, in
partnership with the Federal government, launched Operation Rio Grande,
an initiative to increase border security. Under Operation Rio Grande,
Texas has conducted targeted, short duration, and high intensity
regional operations that integrate local, State and Federal law
enforcement.
Border states want security strategy to include
increasing patrols and law enforcement presence and insist on
centralizing command, control and intelligence operations and increase
federal and State funding and further deployment of State resources for
border security and to make better use of technology to fight border
crime. By focusing on these areas, border states feel they will be able
to mount an aggressive defense which could significantly reduced crime
in areas of operations; and substantially decreased transnational drug
WMD and human smuggling enterprise activities between Ports of Entry.
As a cornerstone of this new strategy the use of
Joint Operations Intelligence Centers (JOIC) and a Border Security
Operations Center (BSOC) should be utilized.
The net effect of these efforts should curtail
border-related criminal enterprises and help make the border areas
safer.
