  1. all of them showed up to the border minutes later, to claim asylum with Uncle Joe.

  2. Who cares the government is corrupt

  3. Sounds like a setup to me

  4. Soon they will be welcomed to California as migrants. At least Texas would try to bus them to Kamala Harris front door so they can be properly cared for.

  5. There going to end up crossing our closed border 😱

  6. Yeah, don’t worry about that southern US border. No biggie…

  7. The guys on the run… didn't deserve to be in prison so God somehow caused the earth to shake and broke doors open, the ones killed were enemies. These guys can really help us fight the cartels we're eliminating… that's why they were broken out of prison…they did things for people who set them up…yes..mexican politicians…now make sure they don't get harmed, take care of them and put them to fight for US. It's an order

  8. Lol imagine an armed group raiding a state prison, killing 20 men and the government's response isn't to immediately seek out and destroy any and all responsible groups. Mexico is almost a failed state in my books.

  9. Of course corruption it’s about money

  10. They’re giving out doughnuts and juice boxes on the CA border. New CA laws on crime are so weak, Newsom already has blood on his hands.

  11. By not properly staffing and manning our border, Biden and his clueless administration, allows “getaways” into our country every day. US citizens are and will be preyed upon by people like this. Don’t expect them to play by the rules. You will need to be armed and trained to pull the trigger. Have a plan because these people do and you are an opportunity or an obstacle.

  12. Build. The. Wall. How dangerous to US national security, given the proximity to El Paso

  13. I hope they don’t come to newfoundland

  14. Thanks to the Obiden administration, all of those violent criminals could have crossed the border into Texas, and no one would even know.

    But let's give Ukraine another 40 billion to secure their borders tho 🤷🏾‍♂️

  15. And you think the U.S. has problems.

  16. They probably already rejoin the cartel.

  17. This was planned by the cartels n Mexico government…

  18. And Joe Biden wants open borders….

  19. And people say America is dangerous when it’s Mexico that’s got no security government corrupt and police paid off people look at USA like it’s Mexico

  20. And guess what? The escaped inmates are headed straight for the border and democrats will welcome them with open arms.

  21. The guy with the eyepatch will be the easiest to find

  22. ELON MUSK X CARTEL SINALOA X MCDONALDS

  23. Not to worry they will be welcomed by Joe Bidens administration and they can get a little feety rub by the congress ladles.

  24. The only thing that's going to end Mexico's drug war is American military occupation.

  25. They coming for El Chapo next

  26. The 25 inmates will be coming to California and TX

  27. Comming in to the USA more than likely .Everyone else has comming in from other prisons or avoiding prison.

  28. Comming in to the USA more than likely .Everyone else has comming in from other prisons or avoiding prison.

  29. Guess where they are headed? They know the border is weak with this administration. Treat all illegals as if they are these guys. Because you never know.

  30. Good thing the got aways can just walk into the United States with the wide open borders thank you sleepy Joe

  31. What if they are on the many boats that have arrived in Florida?

  32. Well, Narcos Mexico isn't going to run out of material for future seasons

  33. The cartels don't care about their own people it's so sad

  34. So, the purpose was to free the cartel leader? Noone saw this coming? Someone getting paid off?

  35. The guy with the eye patch is going to get caught first 🤣

  36. Oh well…life goes on in Mexico……..
