The temporary shutdown of El Paso airspace on February 10th has exposed the massive security crisis that the Biden regime willfully ignored for four years – tens of thousands of cartel drone incursions threatening American lives and sovereignty along our southern border.

According to intelligence reports, cartels have been launching an estimated 40,000 to 60,000 drone operations per year into U.S. airspace, turning our border into a virtual highway for criminal surveillance, drug smuggling, and potential terrorist attacks. While Biden's handlers turned a blind eye to this growing menace, President Trump's administration is now forced to confront the dangerous reality left behind by four years of deliberate border sabotage.

The El Paso incident represents more than just an airspace closure – it's a stark reminder of how the previous administration's open-border policies created a security nightmare that extends far beyond illegal immigration. These aren't hobbyist drones we're talking about, Patriots. These are sophisticated cartel operations conducting reconnaissance, coordinating smuggling routes, and potentially delivering weapons or surveillance equipment deep into American territory.

Biden's Legacy of Negligence

For four years, the Biden administration treated border security as an afterthought while cartels modernized their operations with military-grade drone technology. Now Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Trump team must play catch-up on a threat that should have been neutralized years ago.

"This is what happens when you have an administration that prioritizes globalist policies over American security," said one border security expert. "The cartels didn't just walk across our border – they flew over it with impunity."

The shutdown demonstrates that Trump's team is taking these threats seriously, implementing the kind of proactive security measures that were completely absent under the previous regime. While mainstream media will likely spin this as a Trump administration failure, real Americans understand the truth: you can't solve in three weeks what Biden deliberately ignored for four years.

This is exactly why We the People voted for real leadership. How many more Biden disasters will Trump have to clean up before America is truly secure again?

This is what happens when you actually enforce our laws instead of turning a blind eye to cartel operations!

FINALLY! Someone who actually takes border security seriously. Biden ignored this crisis for four years while we were sitting ducks.

Exactly! Living in Arizona, we've been dealing with this nonsense while DC pretended everything was fine.

These cartels have been using drone technology for years to smuggle contraband. It's about time we have leadership that recognizes the threat and acts on it.

How many commercial flights were affected by this shutdown? The economic impact of ignoring border security goes way beyond just immigration.

As a former air traffic controller, cartel drones are a legitimate national security threat. They can carry drugs, weapons, or worse across our borders undetected.

My husband works at the airport and says this has been building for months. Why did it take so long to address?

Because the previous admin didn't want to admit they had a border crisis on their hands.
