Much more widespread

Corruption in the USCorruption is not an exclusively Mexican trait.Over the past decade some 200 employees and contractors from the Department of Homeland Security have accepted nearly $15 million in bribes to look the other way as drugs were smuggled across the border into the United States, The New York Times has reported.Some U.S. officials have also given sensitive law enforcement information to cartels members, according to the Times.“Almost no evidence about corrupt American officials has been allowed at [El Chapo’s] trial,” New York Times reporter Alan Feuer said recently on Twitter.

These are the hard bribes.   The soft bribes everywhere, legal  and easy; just fund the 'politically correct' and they will keep the supply routes open.  Few of the voters get the game, fail to make the connection. Once it starts, it requires a deep restructure to get it out, and few succeed at the national level.  We may have lost California for good.

Soft bribery is likely 15 million a month alone, I over estimated it at 100 million/month. The soft bribes fund the non-profit advocates of open border. Risk is high on a crossing so there is high pay off in suppressing the controlled border crowd. If a cartel is netting 2 billion a year, thy are likely paying 2 billion a year in crossing risk which appears in the mark up.

So, that markup can be substantially reduced with open border, and the political scene here in California is easy to manipulate, we are a Big Brother outfit. 15 million a month spread in soft bribes can cut the border markup in half.  Hispanics will see the connection, as they are all running from the cartels in one sense or the other. Native Hispanics are not all that thrilled with the open border, but look the other way because of the welfare system depends on Big Brother. Looking  away is hard at the local level, locals have personal interaction with the Mexican cartels, and begin connecting dots.

Local teachers make the connection also, as well as the welfare workers. They have to interact at the local level, they know the people visiting time after time, where they live and what they do. So the Big Brother contradiction hits them, also, the futility of contradictory policies.  The contradictions in the LA teachers strike is an example, they were really looking for resources to run welfare centers. They know the when and wheres of it.

Then the homeless committee charade of Gavin does not help, that one will be about hiding the problem an funding the unions.  The homes are boarded because the kids can't live in normal society while on meth.  Find good tenants to take care of the property, have the task is securing the property from the meth deranged. The good tenants get cheap rent. In a housing collapse, when government cycles, the landlord is fine with letting the repairman live for free, refurbish and security.

The whole mess revolves around Big Brother mis-information. Necesitamos hablar español y ser honestos.   Not a conspiracy, the evidence is plain in the daily news, one of the most reported stories is the fentanly problem and the return of cheap, high purity meth. Result is a complete lack of trust in government at the local level, especially large southern California cities.  At some point the mayors of 'sanctuary cities' seem to be synonomous with 'rise of California cartels';  Big Brother breaks and huge parts of the population become madder than hell, the Vietnam protest effect takes over.
