How are illegal aliens showing up at the border not looking like they had walked long distances?

| January 12, 2024

Smuggling illegal aliens to the United States appears to be a lucrative business. Turkish human smugglers generated social media posts providing their itineraries on how they would get illegal aliens from their own countries to the US border. For a set price, they would book flights for individuals from Turkey to Mexico. Once in Mexico, they are placed in a hotel and then delivered to Tijuana.

From The Daily Caller:

The advertisements offer arrangements for travel, visas and transportation directly to the U.S.-Mexico border for migrants in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally have hit numerous records in recent years, with more than 2.2 million encounters in fiscal year 2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023, according to federal data.

One smuggling advertisement shared on Telegram boasts a “GUARANTEED PASS” for $10,000, which includes a flight from Istanbul to Cancun, a Mexican visa, “CANCUN ENTRANCE,” a hotel room, a taxi, and “DELIVERY TO TIJUANA BORDER.”

“WE HAVE A ROAD FOR CITIZENS OF EVERY COUNTRY WHO CANNOT GET A MEXICO VISA AND FLY TO NICARAGUA,” the post reads.

The two Telegram channels, which have thousands of members, include videos and messages where migrants are thanking specific people. They also feature photos of passports stamped by Mexican authorities.

“This is the border. Thanks to you, we have arrived in the U.S.,” one man said in a TikTok post taken next to the border wall. The video shows migrants thanking “Volkan,” which is a Turkish name.

It’s amazing that in these other countries, where the cost of living is so much lower than the US, the wages are so much lower, that a person can be economically oppressed, starving, impoverished, and unable to survive, but somehow come up with $10,000 to pay the smuggler.

Notice that they lose their families along the way, but they manage to keep up with their cell phones and cigarettes. Seem to be well fed also.

But, officially, according to this article, it takes so long to get a visa to come here, that tourists are going to other places.

CLOSE.THE.FU@KING.BORDER! If need be…make it a Free Fire Zone. $1.2 BILLION a day is what some figures show that this invasion is costing us.

Gentlemen…see to your blade of grass and…Prepare…to defend yourselves.

It’s the same financial math that’s made Bidenomics such a huge success!

I’ve lived on the border a good portion of my adult life, starting in 1990. Illegal border crossers have gone from a bunch of ragged, dirty, exhausted people to hordes of well dressed, clean, healthy individuals with new cell phones and a suitcase. Only the drug smugglers are wearing camo and carpet shoes now. These new illegals WANT to get caught and get their share of Biden’s free shit. This isn’t migration, immigration, any of those “polite” words. It’s an invasion and we’re all paying for it. Financially now, worse in the future. As the man says, “Prepare”.

And a lot of them have some body fat, something NOT SEEN among the hungry and destitute.

We are being replaced.

They all get a mail in ballot and are counted in the census.

C’mon man, replacement theory is a “white nationalist far-right conspiracy theory”. I know because I just looked it up and Wikipedia told me. Well, that page is about the French Great Replacement theory, but same difference…

It’s hard to read and hear accounts of our border crisis totally secure border and not wonder if there’s a greater plan. A method to the madness, in other words, where unassimilated aliens are welcomed with open arms and learn to trust their (mostly Democrat) hosts. When mayors like Eric Adams figure out that it’s unsustainable, he’s attacked by his peers. When governors like Abbott and DeSantis send illegals to “sanctuary states”, they are labeled as racist MAGA extremists.

I’m a firm believer of “History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” We’re currently Rome before the Fall.

Human Smuggling has thrived under the Biden Administration, funded by rich liberals who want to turn the USA into a third world shithole, they want to burn our country so they can rule over the ashes.

They just want to turn the West and the South Blue. Why do you think there is so much crying from the left.about that means Governor in Texas who keeps bussing them North. Liberals used to love bussing.

Dick Durbin clip on the local news claiming Abbott is insensitive by sending migrants north in the winter time.

Close the border, asshole. Problem solved.

Or is this your way of saying I’m working hard, looking out for you (illegal immigrants).

Close the Border indeed, look at the Biden Clown Crewe suing the State of Texas for trying to defend their own soil by sealing off their Border with Mexico!

They stepped over the border from Mexico, send them back to Mexico and let them deport/deal with them. Don’t care if they’re from the Seychelles Islands, send them back over the border.

Blaster

Agreed. As soon as we make it part of Me icon’s problem too, they’ll start to do something proactive about it. The sooner, the better!
