That was his claim.And some of those people are in the Mexican government. If you haven't seen Cartel Land yet, I recommend it. It's a very informative documentary. It has a nice little twist at the end that most people miss.
He used that claim to suggest the Mexican government is smarter than the U.S. government and they're playing us for suckers. He also used that claim to bolster his, "we're gonna build a wall and I'm gonna make the Mexican government pay for it!" rhetoric.
He has not produced any proof to back that claim all these months later.
(I don't doubt that many terrible crimes are committed by criminals engaged in the people and drug smuggling businesses.)
