Chief Jason Owens, Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, has implicated current governmental policy in escalating security issues along the U.S.-Mexican border, highlighting concerns over illicit entry. He opines that these lax border control measures have inadvertently given power to Mexican cartels, essentially dictating the dynamics of illegal movement. The authorities, he insists, often find themselves in a reactive position, striving to eliminate the cartels' avenues of illicit operations.

While the task of Border Patrol authorities is to thwart dangerous situations for both officers and immigrants, the magnitude of the border, spanning approximately 1,900 miles, poses a daunting challenge. There are around 20,000 border patrol agents, a number that may seem considerable. However, once factoring in the relentless 24/7 nature of the job and the vast expanse of territory to cover, it quickly becomes apparent that resources may be stretched thin.

It's a troubling strategy by the cartels who manipulate the humanity of the situation. By pushing groups of migrants across the border, they fully expect the Border Patrol to divert resources to act from a humanitarian perspective, ensuring safety. This effectively leaves the cohort unduly stretched and vulnerable to other illicit activities coordinated by the cartel.

Owens expresses a sense of foreboding about the inflow of unknown individuals into the nation, pointing out that their unidentified status and unfathomable intentions pose a considerable concern for those tasked with border security. On the brink of a million entries in just the current fiscal year, it is not just the absolute figure that is worrisome. Approximately 140,000 are 'getaways,' or individuals who have successfully evaded the authorities.
