House Speaker McCarthy tours Arizona-Mexico border

US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy toured portions of the Arizona-Mexico border Thursday, saying only the Sinaloa drug cartel knows who is crossing the border. US House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy said “And it's different than any other place in the country. But those who are coming across the border all wearing camouflage. On their feet, they have carpet shoes to make it harder to get.

And the sad part of what's happening here is, the country of Mexico does not know who's leaving their country. America, we do not know who's coming into our country. But there is one entity who knows who's leaving Mexico and who's coming into America, the Sinaloa Cartel. Because nobody comes across this border without paying.” The California Republican was joined on the tour by local officials and newly-elected Rep. Juan Ciscomani, who represents the border area. McCarthy said more people from Washington should visit the area and talk to local officials themselves.
