    Drug Smugglers From Mexico Use Border Crossings in ... - NBC News

    Checkpoints along the U.S.-Mexico border are an increasingly popular entrance for drug smugglers. That could undermine Trump's argument for a wall. ..

    Secure checkpoints along the American-Mexican border have become an increasingly popular entrance for drug smugglers entering the United States, a fact that could undermine President Donald Trump's argument for a border wall.

    Customs agents at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the busiest land border crossing in the world, check 50,000 vehicles and 20,000 pedestrians on an average day — and they do it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Located just south of San Diego and a few miles north of Tijuana, there are countless attempts to bring drugs across the border: some successful, some not.

    “We’re looking at everyone. We’re looking at illegal narcotics, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl, all entering the borders,” said Sidney Aki, Customs and Border Protection Director of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

    Are you going to believe Trump or the Dept of Homeland Security, the DEA, Border Patrol and US Customs and Immigration? They all say Trump is a liar.

    The illegals tend not to cross at the border checkpoints.......

    I have some advice for government employees affected by the shutdown: Find a new job if you dn't like it.

    Same advice they gave coal miners when the government killed their jobs

    This has never been about border security it's all about political power no matter who gets hurt.
    So your "SOLUTION" is for Schumer and Pelosei to just give Trump a political win...on something that wastes tens of billions of dollars just so Trump can save face with his morons.

    Ya gotta be kidding!

    Why not recommend that Trump stop being a hostage taker...open the government and take up the border wall question separately...the way the issue properly should be resolved?

    Who the fuck are you to determine what's practical?

    That he doesn't do it your way doesn't mean he hasn't considered other options.

    If you don't like how he's doing it, run for President. You believe someone being female is a qualification just like you thought someone being black was one.

    They are ignoring the repeated fact that Republicans had complete control for 2 years and even they didn't want to give Trump the wall...on the odd occasion that he mentioned it.

    Now it's a MUST or nothing. Fucking hypocrites.
