7 confirmed cases of screwworm. Yesterday it was 5. The day before, 3. Two states. All originating from cartel-controlled ranches south of the border.
http://BeefMaps.com has been tracking cartel cattle corridors for over a year. Now screwworm is in Texas. The parasite moved through the same routes the cattle did.
InSight Crime confirmed it: outbreak hotspots mirror the smuggling routes. 800,000 head a year smuggled through Mexico with falsified paperwork, no quarantine, no traceability.
CJNG doesn’t just extort ranchers — they charge 5 pesos per kilo on export animals. They access live herd data through RFID tags. They run regional managers embedded in Mexico’s legal export system.
Cattle bought for $650 in Central America, resold for $1,500 in Texas. A $1.2 billion shadow market.
The parasite isn’t the only thing hiding in plain sight.
The “Product of USA” rule changed in January. Packers can now only use that label if the animal was born, raised, harvested, AND processed in the US. The old loophole where imported beef got stamped “Product of USA” just for being processed here? Gone.
But it’s still voluntary. Packers don’t have to tell you anything. They can just leave the label off. Imported beef from cartel corridors can sit in your grocery store with zero origin disclosure.
MCOOL — mandatory country of origin labeling — would fix that. Every cut, labeled. Born where. Raised where. Slaughtered where. No exceptions.
H.R. 5818 is sitting in Congress right now.
The screwworm made this urgent. The cartel corridors made it obvious.
H.R. 5818 is a bill number that has been used for different legislation across multiple sessions of the U.S. Congress. The most recent version is from the 119th Congress (2025–2026), known as the Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act of 2025. Introduced on October 24, 2025, by Rep. Harriet M. Hageman (R-WY), this bill expands USDA Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) requirements to include beef (including ground beef). It mandates that retailers notify customers of the beef’s country of origin and increases fines for willful violations to $5,000 per pound of non-compliant beef.
Other notable instances of H.R. 5818 include:
118th Congress (2023–2024): The Medicare IVIG Access Enhancement Act of 2023, which sought to expand Medicare coverage for in-home administration of intravenous immune globulin.
117th Congress (2021–2022): The Outpatient Surgery Quality and Access Act of 2021, addressing Medicare payments and quality reporting for ambulatory surgical centers.
116th Congress (2019–2020): The Truth in Buffalo Labeling Act, which prohibited labeling water buffalo meat simply as “buffalo.”
115th Congress (2017–2018): The Opioid Workforce Act of 2018, which increased Medicare-funded residency positions for addiction and pain management programs.
109th Congress (2005–2006): The Currency Overhaul for an Industrious Nation (COIN) Act, which proposed redesigning $2 Federal Reserve notes and transferring the U.S. Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing to the Federal Reserve.
