The battle over the border wall during President Trump’s first term was marked by intense opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans. While the mainstream narrative suggests that these forces united to prevent construction, the reasons behind their defiance remain unclear. Early signs, such as a 2016 meeting between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the then-president of Mexico, raise eyebrows. Pelosi’s presence alongside lesser-known Congressman Beto O’Rourke in Mexico indicates deep engagement in border policy discussions. Following these conversations, former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto faced serious allegations, including accusations of bribery linked to organized crime.
The allegations against Peña Nieto are troubling. Witness Alex Cifuentes testified that the former president received a staggering $100 million from Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is notorious for being one of the largest drug suppliers to the United States. With Peña Nieto’s administration tied to such corruption, the timing of the Democrats’ resistance to the border wall becomes suspect. One theory presented by former Democrat Jeffrey Peterson suggests that this opposition may stem from financial ties between the Democrats and Mexican cartels. The connection grows when examining donations to political figures. Reports indicate that a significant lawyer for the cartels contributed to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, while Assange alleged that the Clinton Foundation received $15 million from these same cartels.
Adding another layer of complexity, there are hints of connections between Democrat party members and drug traffickers. The case of Senator Ruben Gallego, whose father is a convicted trafficker, raises questions about motivations in border policy. His candid admission comes amid speculation over his stances on open borders and immigration.
The apprehension of Maduro, a known ally of criminal networks, has opened the door for further scrutiny of these potential cartel connections. As authorities investigate, implications for party affiliations and financial dealings may emerge. What will these investigations uncover? The Gateway Pundit promises updates, raising curiosity about the tangled webs of influence between foreign drug lords and American politics.
This situation underscores the need for accountability and transparency in political funding and border security policy. As investigations unfold, the American public watches closely, waiting to see how deep these connections truly run.
