"Customs and Border Protection officials announced Thursday their biggest fentanyl bust ever, saying they captured nearly 254 pounds (114 kilograms) of the deadly synthetic opioid from a load of Mexican produce heading into Arizona."

"The drug was found hidden Saturday morning inside a tractor-trailer after a scan during secondary inspection indicated something else was in the load, Nogales CBP Port Director Michael Humphries said."

Now how exactly would a "big, beautiful, tremendous, thirty foot high, reinforced concrete wall" have stopped this shipment of opioids from entering the US?

It wouldn't. Which is why the adults in Congress are focusing on more equipment at the ports of entry.

Trump: "There’s a growing humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border."


There is crisis, but it’s about the asylum system, not people pouring across the border, experts say.

The overall number of people caught at the southwest border is not at historic high levels. During Trump’s time in office, overall apprehensions have been below 400,000; there were more than 1.6 million apprehensions in fiscal year 2000.

Illicit drugs mostly enter through legal checkpoints, not in between points of entry. Several studies also say that immigrants (regardless of immigration status) are not more prone to crime than native-born Americans. Trump regularly contends that immigrants coming in illegally will increase crime in the United States.

The most pressing problem, researchers say, is the country’s backlogged system for dealing with asylum claims from migrants.

Once immigrants are in the asylum process, it can take years for their cases to be decided. That lengthy waiting period is what creates the biggest incentive for people to come to the United States, knowing they’ll be able to stay for at least some period of time, an immigration expert told us.

Would your "wall" have stopped these drugs, fool!

It is not "my" wall. To answer your rather uneducated question though, yes. It would certainly slow down the thousands of tons that come across it in other locations.

Can you prove that, or are we just left with your opinion?
