“Extermination sites” with human remains, crematoria and cast-off shoes and clothing evoke images of the Third Reich. But the latest one wasn’t discovered decades ago in Nazi-occupied Europe; it was found in rural Mexico, allegedly run by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) as a recruiting and training center for unwilling participants in a war fueled by illicit narcotics and abetted by open US borders.For the past four years, millions of illegal migrants poured into the United States and were released into US cities and towns under Biden administration policies, encouraging millions more to follow.Those who complained about the surge and the costs it imposed on Americans — higher taxes, strained medical resources and increasingly crowded classrooms — were castigated as “heartless” or worse, “xenophobic.” Most news coverage focused only on migrants’ hardships after they arrived in this country and struggled to find food, shelter and medical care in a new and unfamiliar land — the better to draw cash from the public fisc to fund such services and the “nonprofits” that provided them.
