Times and i want to get your perspective on after the 2 million a week gold cartel is making just moving people across to mcallen. You know this well. Real problem. Can you talk a little bit about that as one of the opening point in making a great what . Guest youre right congressmen. The work you are doing is so important to enlighten the American Public about the vise grip the cartels have at the border. The horrifying and appalling impact that has innocent people on both sides of the border and whether things i think is really important to eliminate in chapter 1 of the book of what i call the Caravan Cartel is that the drug cartel couldnt do it alone but i think what is shocking to people is not that you have explicit criminal conspirators out there that are making billions of dollars in profits and endangering lives and wreaking violent havoc on families and children.
