Trump Proven Right As Border Patrol K-9 Sniffs Out $2 Million In Smuggled Fentanyl In Arizona

Nothing will shut off drug flow completely, but you're talking about an unknown quantity crossing at other than entry points. Shutting that off with a secure wall would have to help, if in no other way but force it to points of entry where it could be more easily found. No need to make rocket science out of this.

...so if you were smuggling drugs into the US...which route would you take?

Through the port of entry...where you could load up hundreds of pounds in a vehicle knowing that....

"....CBP currently inspects 1% to 2% of personal vehicles coming across the southwest border and 15% to 17% of commercial vehicles. "


...or send on "mules" across remote areas of the desert?

You can bet they are hauled to the border where other vehicles are waiting for them. If it's so, the way I'm hearing it, the cartel now owns our southern border anyway.

I think that 'was' the plan all along for certain areas, with a physical wall in high-traffic areas. Trump was just way ahead of everyone on this. Biden's invitation policies are just making the need for a secure border plain to people now. Well, a lot of people anyway. We're in a mess.

What open invitation policies? Trump’s wall has been breached repeatedly. A wall is not cost effective or very effective at all.

No, I will bet the cartel uses the most efficient means to move those drugs.

Look at the number of people coming in... do you think strict policies are creating that??? It's not rocket science.

Trump’s wall has been breached repeatedly.

Not so much when he was in office.

A wall is not cost effective or very effective at all.

But, our current situation is... this is not rocket science.

The metal wasn’t magically immune to grinders during his tenure.

This is a useless argument. I know nothing about the border. I just argue the point that it is not an issue and we don't need to turn people away... crazy. We need to try anything to stop encouraged illegal entry... and apparently, the Biden administration, and his supporters, don't even want to acknowledge there's a problem.

I don’t have a problem with asylum seekers. I am also for immigration reform to make it easier to legally immigrate. My ancestors had very few barriers to immigration and for that I am thankful or I wouldn’t be here in this country.

Come on... Trump was all over that problem, and Biden may have done a brief drive-by of one small sector.

I do... it's a different world.

Right, the desperate people arriving aren’t from Europe now.

 

[ralliann]

That was and opinion in the form of postulating. Although I'd be interested in you explaing how to calculate the amount of something that's unaccounted for.

"Probably", should have enough, but not these days

I think that 'was' the plan all along for certain areas, with a physical wall in high-traffic areas.

Donald's plan called for a "a contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier," (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/DCPD-201700071/pdf/DCPD-201700071.pdf).
Oh, and don't forget that Mexico was going to pay for all of it it.

Well, we had more room and opportunities then. And, it wasn't the dump burn it is now.

Well, don't write him off yet.

He did more photo ops, but those also does not change the properties of steel to make it immune to being cut with basic power tools.

I keep hearing how we need jobs filled, especially labor jobs lIke construction and agriculture . These immigrants are willing and able to fill those jobs that current residents are not. Also the declining birth rate will leave many opportunities and room for more immigrants to fill.

Well, don't write him off yet.

Just clearing up the facts of the guy's failed plans. Well, some of them anyway, the full list of failures is a lot longer.

Failures compared to what?

Failures compared to what?

Failure is contrasted against actually succeeding at the plan I linked to.
