There was actually just a video about this.

It was in Texas where you have these five guys in a pickup truck and they're doing donuts around and all the CBP pulls up on them and they're trying to outrun them.

Well, at the same time that's happening, there's people, a coyote illegally crossing people or drugs across the border.

And

That's a really common tool that they use where they'll, you know, they're trying to distract them one way and do something else.

They do these smoke screens and not just blatantly like that at the border, but with a lot of other actions too.

Yes, they're creating a bunch of diversions.

They'll do this too, especially if there's a high-level person who needs to get around and that can't typically cross into Mexico or the U.S., vice versa.

They're regular border crossing, and they need to move this person in a stealth way.

So...

They've gotten very good at knowing what captures American authorities' attention and how to use that so they can run these profitable or high-level operations at the same time that something else is going on.

I think that they... Okay, so with the people I've spoken to, especially who are working in organized crime in border regions, they know that the border tech has been amped up.

In terms of to what extent...

They don't know as much as they should know, but they are very hopeful.

I sound like a spokesperson for the cartel.

That's not the point here.

Oh my God.

This is just relaying the information.

But they're very hopeful in their ability to adapt because they've always done it.

It's just a matter of what has changed?
