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.
Even Colombian FARC with bomb making skills
Remember the FARC used to be on the American FTO list a few years ago
Dude former Mexican American marines are down there training people. You can't take that knowledge once you leave. And those people do it on their own. It's big money. They don't need the FARC, the Cartels contract everyone and they have the money to buy the best. It would be of no surprise to me if rogue former special forces were down there or up here training people. (Military service as a path to citizenship is not goodwill, but a weakness) Cuba is the heart and soul of communism, in latin America those foreign fighters have Russian training.
One example of gangs in the military was a Suereño who shot and k illed two officers in CA with an SKS he had under his rain pancho.
Edit: Andres Raya, was that marines name. And that happened in the 90s.
They also hired US soldiers, and border patrol agents help them to cross the drugs and all the guns they use are from US
Mexicans dont like colombians 😂
There are only a few hired a sicarios . Most Colombians have there separate operations
Luis definitely has his finger on the pulse of what’s going deep in cartel organizations. Great guest & questions
He's somewhat of an "activist" but not has overt and in your face as other journalists
He's obviously very biased towards American border patrol Just for being border patrol.....
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.
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.

Anyone who says "the cartel" should automatically be dismissed. It is not one "cartel" it's about 200 of them
True. But, in the generic sense, their operations are roughly similar, so "the cartel" functions as a stand-in for any form of cartel business activity.
Naming them often puts you in danger
@@victorygarden556not really these guys actually like the attention lol
You finally have a real Mexican to talk on Mexico! Luis Chaparro even better!!
The cartel pays people in arizona $1000 a head to take them from Tucson to Chandler/ Mesa
Big facts
The human smuggling business is just as lucrative as drug trafficking but those human trafficking charges are very serious
It's not the cartel
Americans always say " the cartel" 😂😂 like if there is only one 😂😂 oh boy 😂
How is this dude still alive and breathing? Hes one of the best but hes also taking so much risk.....
Finally, been waiting for Luis to tap in with ironclad! !
It is always so informative, much appreciated
Asking where the weapons and knowledge is coming from is beyond naiveness... unless the US take accountability to a problem they are directly responsible for there wont be any change in things in the US or Latin America
Just discovered this channel, this is fantastic info. Great interview, will be binging more
Awesome, thanks for tuning in! Enjoy the binge-watch session!
Man crazy stuff
He is describing Sicario Day of the Soldado... wake up folks...
Great one
Very busy man? Nah he’s been hiding for months already, some one has him shook. He’s getting to close to the sun.
Flying the black American flag ✊🏻 we won’t surrender and NO quarters given
There's a flag for black Americans?
What???
Why is everything race all the time.if you are a American citizen then we all have one flag and that's the American flag.stop dividing us.
I like this guy.
WOW!!!!!!! Thank you.
I have alot of time for Luis. The amount of negative comments about him are mind blowing.
People criticise him, but never acknowledge the fact that hes extremely brave for covering cartel news in the 1st place.
Hes risking his life for our sake. Its highly likely that he will, and already has, trodden on the toes of some really dangerous people with his journalism.
He sticks his neck out so we can stay informed. But people will still complain about his work.
I tell you what. If you want to leave a comment critcising luis. How about you move to Mexico and start reporting on the cartels. Only then will your comments hold any validity.
They’re make a lot of money when trump was in office and they’re making no even more now, they’re on our soil and are expanding. So what is the solution
Al cien compa chaparro
Vinnie another great podcast still waiting for book these make me so more interested as English education is power 👏🏻👏🏻

I am debating watching this because it sure seems like America is being attacked from every angle and I am trying to overcome the terror because I don't like it one bit. I refuse to give up and will overcome, but holy hell
It's reality and you should keep up on current affairs as to what's going on in the world and try to be as prepared as possible whatever it is that you need to prepare with whether it be food water shelter ammo whatever it need you need but most of all God almighty Jesus Christ our Lord and savior first and foremost so watch it and don't worry for if God is for me who can be against me
@@popeye1313 I am.
You need to wake the hell up woman, We are LONG past that 'America is being attacked from every angle'. We are past that. We are being dismantled and taken down from the inside and being attacked and invaded from the outside. Rome fell the same way and so will America if We don't get Trump back in office asap, He can buy Us time till he picks someone who can come after him to keep the fight going. Right now the U.N. is taking bets on how much time America has left before it collapses in on itself and then come swarming in U.N. 'Peace-keeping' Troops.
Buy firearms now
Observe the commandments of heavenly Father, No Fear
I know Las Cruces well...I was born there and still live in the area... Luis is correct about the cartels down here...been going on all of my life all 58 years
. nothing new under the sun 😎
I don't know if Mexico will ever rid themselves of these crime syndicates. Unless they find more honest ways to make a living but it seems you have to be cruel to survive in Mexico
I am a white woman who grew up in san Antonio Texas married to a beautiful Hispanic man for 24 years and people here are mostly kind to me as I am kind to them
I'm Hispanic too. But I adore white babes ❤
I am Mexican, love those white girls. I prefer only white girls. But who the hell cares. What does you being married to a Mexican dude really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I feel like the only reason we haven't liberated mexico is because our own gov cares more about money than helping people.
That's worldwide policy
You guys couldn't even liberate the middle east relax Rambo 😅
They love money and power more then help people..... ANY PEOPLE.....
@@gusbatcho96 your what's wrong with the world.
You care more about self satisfied greed over helping others.
@@everythingisinfinite4602 we should probably focus on our own issues before we try to fix someone's else problem. Examples are drug addiction in America that would definitely help
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.
He’s a double headed snake. Dude is all over the place. I wonder who he really works for.
So what if he is a Lefty 😂
That's cause he sees first hand what these cartels do.most people from the left live in a bubble and have no clue about anything.
Lefty Lmaoo why does that matter
Why they never mention CIA meddling? 🧐
I feel like RUclips monetize your guys' videos pretty hard.
Luis Chaparro. Cool!
Luis chorro
✌
Your thoughts on the Rachel Morin Killed by a El Salvador cartel member? Just happened today …. Seems like there’s much more going on
El salvador has gangs not cartels
Never heard of a cartel from El Salvador
That's how stealthily the El Salvadorian cartel rolls lols @@ghernandez2263

1:00 - this guy is talking total nonsense that journalists probably asked him to. That policy in reality changed very little from Obama to Trump to Biden. it was mostly talk. If he was anywhere close to this subject he would know that.
I had a lazy dog named Rocco!
