The Southwest Board of United Airline Control shared that bands of Central American and Caribbean migrants are continuously hopping on commercial flights from Mexico City to border cities like Reynosa. After forking over a fee to immigration officials, they are then released to cartel-connected human smugglers to continue their journey.

A high-ranking INM official chatted with Breitbart Texas and spilled the beans that migrants can jump on airplanes and buses if they have the proper permit and ID documents, which usually take months to process. However, an INM whistleblower spilled the beans that for a chunk of change ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 USD, migrants can get all the necessary documents within a cool 48 hours.
“They can even have their relatives in the U.S. wire the money to bank accounts, and some of the agents also use Cash App,” the official said, adding that the sketchy practice is ingrained in the system, with field agents kicking up a portion of the cash up the food chain. “That is just the way it has been done and continues to be done.”
Once migrants snag the necessary permits, they can jet or take buses to border cities like Reynosa, Matamoros, Tijuana, and others as they try to reach the U.S. border to beg for asylum, swaying their hips under claims of credible fear. Migrants are often seen snagging one-way flights on VivaAerobus, a low-cost commercial airline that offers tickets for about $70 USD.
In towns like Reynosa and Matamoros in Tamaulipas, all migrants and asylum seekers are under the thumb of the Gulf Cartel. The migrants are required to cough up a fee to be able to scamper over to the border. For those who fly into these cities, the Gulf Cartel offers a cozy pickup service outside the airport, whisking them away to special hotels, as shared by a top Tamaulipas law enforcement official.
