Most of the stories we encounter regarding the Biden border crisis focus on the Mexican border, but we are increasingly having issues with the Canadian border as well. This report involves both and it’s highly disturbing. We already knew that Mexican cartels were growing wealthy by engaging in human trafficking over the southern border. But one group of migrants who were released after crossing the Mexican border traveled to New Jersey with no plans to “start a new life in America.” They reformed their gang and set up a human smuggling operation bringing in other migrants over the Canadian border and charging them $6,000 per head. The gang members were from Guatemala and Colombia and should have been identified and removed as soon as they arrived. Instead, they went into business competing with American gang members in the northeast. (NY Post)

A New Jersey-based migrant gang is smuggling hordes of illegal immigrants into the US across the Canadian border for a price of $6,000 a head, a new report reveals.

The human smuggling gang took root after its founders were briefly detained and cut loose by federal immigration authorities.

The ringleaders, migrants from Guatemala and Colombia, snuck across the Mexican border and set up shop in the Garden State, running the lucrative scheme while dodging the feds, according to a report by the Daily Mail.

While US Border Patrol agents grapple with an overwhelming flow of asylum seekers from Mexico, the Jersey-based gang has helped spark an under-the-radar surge in crossings along the northern border, the outlet said.

At first glance, were it not for the illegal and dangerous nature of their “work,” you would almost have to admire these migrants for their ambitious business strategy. They traveled from another continent, knowing that Joe Biden’s policies would allow them to roam the country freely with few questions being asked. Rather than competing with the Mexican cartels at the southern border, they went north and began bringing in a new stream of migrants illegally over the Canadian border.

On the one hand, that’s a very risky proposition. Particularly in the dead of winter, the Canadian wilderness near the Adirondacks or even the Lake Champlain region can be treacherous or even deadly. People have frozen to death up there often. Of course, as long as the “customers” pay in advance, the gang likely wasn’t put off by the idea of a few frozen bodies littering the woods. At the same time, the legal challenges were likely fewer. We have far less security on the northern border, with large stretches of undeveloped areas open to those willing to make the hike. And six thousand dollars per person per trip probably provided a healthy profit margin.

We speak often about the need for more cooperation between Mexico and the United States in terms of getting a handle on the migrant situation. Where is Canada’s leadership on this front? Surely they bear as much responsibility for the security of our vast mutual border as we do. How are migrants entering Canada so easily and embarking on such a journey south with the help of human traffickers? In 2023, nearly 10,000 illegal migrants were stopped at the Canadian border. That’s an increase of more than five times the number encountered in the previous year and we clearly didn’t catch them all.

This is a part of the Biden border crisis that goes very much underreported. The problem is self-multiplying. We have gang members coming over the southern border and being casually released. Now they are traveling north and amplifying the crisis at the Canadian border. Few attempted such things before Joe Biden hung out the welcome sign and invited everyone in the world to come violate our immigration laws without consequences. This has to end, and it’s not going to end without removing Joe Biden from office and bringing in someone who is serious about border security specifically and enforcing our laws in general.
