Former acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan, responding to reporting from Newsmax border correspondent Jaeson Jones, agreed Saturday that the situation is a matter of national security because of the growing strength of the Mexican cartels involved.
“This is not about immigration,” Morgan said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “That’s what this White House and the open border advocates want to make this about. We need to put this aside. How much data, how much more information and real-time data do we need to see that our borders are not secure?”
Also on Saturday, Jones shared exclusive drone footage obtained by Newsmax showing a drone operated by a U.S. private security company recording footage of up to 50 armed gunmen associated with the Sinoloa drug cartel who were located about 300 yards from the Arizona-Mexico border.
The gunmen, in a period of 45 minutes, fired 50 to 150 rounds of ammunition at the drone, Jones reported.
