Mexico’s security chief confirmed Tuesday that 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.

Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro that family members of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, had entered the U.S.

Guzmán Lopez is one of the brothers left running a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel after notorious capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was imprisoned in the U.S. Video showed the family members walking across the border from Tijuana with their suitcases to waiting U.S. agents.

So the "right" immigrants are the ones that can afford to pay a bribe?

So are all the immigrants that are getting deported illegally only because they could not afford the fee? Seem as if being a criminal has nothing to do with deportation, or immigration, as the White House made it out to be.

    You're almost there. Having no money makes you a criminal.

    That's what they are doing. They are making poverty a crime.

    The crime should be against enabling poverty to exist.

    The only ones enabling poverty are the poor.
