[Ask the Gulch] All hell is breaking out over here in Texas, at least from what I hear. Hospitals in Houston and area are at capacity and nurses are running their selves ragged. Lots of very sick people. My son is in one hospital and my daughter is in another.

Ultimately, paying for their treatments must be shifted to the federal or state government (or absorbed by deferring expenses to paying hospital customers)--or those hospitals will face bankruptcy and the inability to pay their ever diminishing staff.
In the mean time, such indigent migrants will be recuperating in hospital bids or in IC units displacing American citizens and their needs.
About arriving stripped of valuable possessions: I read somewhere that the '23 1.7T budget includes reimbursement to NGOs and charities that provide/provided relief to migrants, and that the amount was short of 1B but in the hundreds of millions.
The efforts of those charities, churches, etc. might account for the apparent prosperity you claim to observe among recent illegal immigrants who got here under cartel "protection."
I haven't read anything to make me think that the Mexican cartels are doing anything but exploiting those who are answering Biden's call--and, by exploiting, I mean squeezing everything they can out of them. I would like to see some evidence besides casual observation that I'm wrong in my current assumption.
