1 Border officials cast doubt on balloon shot down narrative that resulted in El Paso airspace closure
Border Patrol agents who spoke with Daily Mail did not know who had deployed the laser, however, they believe the unverified narrative about the balloons is dead wrong.

They explained that drones sent by Mexican cartels often breach US airspace in and around El Paso- calling it a 'regular occurrence.'

Although there is cartel drone activity along the entire border, much of the activity near El Paso is concentrated to the west of the city near Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

That area is a no-man's land and known as a smuggling corridor.

On the US side, the area is sparsely populated and is mostly vast, wide open desert.

Several agents assigned to the area tell Daily Mail that they commonly see drones flying above them as they were chasing illegal immigrants who are trying to sneak into the country.

3 Soooo......DM is trying to dunk by proving beyond a reasonable doubt Cartels are a clear and present danger, and borders should be enforced?

4 El Paso mayor sounds like a Democrat, more concerned with bashing Trump than security. If it's cartel activity, military options should be on the table.

5 Makes me wonder how much plata is at stake for the El Paso mayor.

6 One learns to spot patterns over time with conspiracy theorists.
Every single time it's a blurry, out of focus shot of a blob.
Going back to that famous photo of a hubcap in midair.

7 We should really train ourselves to use Grokipedia instead of that compromised site whose founder says openly has been hijacked.

9 Or perhaps you could do actual research and reading over a period of time, bot, and know the bias of different source/weigh them/before quoting them?
