Luis forgot to mention a lot of stuff. He forgot to mention that the cartels hire ex colombian soldiers to help them train their forces, and fight rival cartels. They also hire local army and police deserters.

Luis definitely has his finger on the pulse of what’s going deep in cartel organizations. Great guest & questions

Well done on the interview. Very engaging. Funny story, I watched a “product” transfer yesterday. It was between an older Hispanic couple in an old Chevy truck with Mexican plates and a couple of hardened looking Hispanic dudes in a blacked out Chrysler 300 with paper plates. Just another day in south TX.

Anyone who says "the cartel" should automatically be dismissed. It is not one "cartel" it's about 200 of them

As someone who’s grown up in Vegas and SD, I’m glad someone is trying to expose this for everyone. I’ve been in and out of Baja dozens of times, I’ve been stopped at the border coming back and searched. I clearly am not a smuggler, it makes me wonder if that bait tactic wasn’t used on me. 😂 if you saw my truck you’d get it. The sex trade is something he needs to expose as well. There are cartel “kids” recruiting girls in SD malls for various bs and they get grabbed and disappear forever. I’m sure it happens all across the southwest.

I like this guy.

The cartel pays people in arizona $1000 a head to take them from Tucson to Chandler/ Mesa

Luis is a G

Luis’ x profile indicates he’s a lefty, but seems sincere about raising alarms on the US border. I’m thankful he’s doing this because I’m sure it doesn’t make him popular in liberal circles.
