    Hmmm, I got it! Sock puppets!
    Opening scene border control with a hundred puppets in sombreros. 15 divert out of scene. Uh oh! Border patrol! Some go after the 15 and the rest start rounding up the 85. The ones that went off scene come back with 14 of the sombrero wearers and when a head count is done of the 85 there is only 79, 6 got past them.
    Next scene a leggy woman with long blond hair is fanning herself with the back of one hand to her forehead. "I do declare I get vapors Everytime I see a sombrero." In flies our orange superhero. "I'll save you fair maiden!" Sounds of construction. Next scene 100 sombreros are approaching the border, 15 with ladders and ropes break off out of view.
    Final scene. 7 sombreros at a New Jersey country club. " This is the life amigo."

    Why? Are you in favor of this kind of political chicanery being left uncontested? We need to nip this bullshit in the bud.

    They are? Maybe in your mind. Does it bother you that you state this bullshit as fact without a single thing to back it up? Sounds like another guy who claimed to know more than the generals.

    Actually most of the drugs that are intercepted come via air, sea and auto/truck ports of entry and checkpoints.

    It's like how the left throws out that 1/2 of the illegal aliens are visa overstays.
    But where's the evidence ?

    Why is it that the vast majority of illegal aliens who are apprehended in the interior by ICE, illegally crossed the border ?

    If 1/2 of the illegal aliens are visa overstays you would think there would be more apprehension since there is a paper trail to follow.

    Also would mean that the State Department is doing a really shitty job of vetting foreigners in their home country who are applying for a tourist or student visa.

    There has been a significant drop in illegal aliens crossing the border starting on the day Trump was elected President.

    Why do you want them to be attacked before they get protection?

    And the "experts" didn't think of taking that into consideration. They should have just consulted you.

    They haven't been attacked because the only threat is in your mind.

    Yes...because I want them protected...as I want all Americans. Not sure why you think it’s ok to let us continued to be attacked without proper protection.

    Which administration ?

    You are aware the DEA was politicized during the Obama administration along with the IRS, ATF, DOJ and even the FBI.

    UNCLASSIFIED


    Most illicit drugs available in the United States and thousands of illegal immigrants are smuggled into the United States across the nearly 2,000-mile Southwest Border, including through the Tohono O'odham Reservation (see text box). Conversely, a significant amount of illegal firearms and weapons as well as bulk currency are smuggled from the Southwest Border region into Mexico. Intensified counterdrug operations, in addition to intracartel and intercartel warfare and plaza competition, have resulted in unprecedented violence in northern Mexico and the potential for increasing violence in the United States.


    The illicit drug threat in Indian Country varies by region and is influenced by the illicit drugs available in major cities near the reservations. Most illicit drugs available throughout Indian Country are transported to reservations by Native American criminal groups and independent dealers who travel to nearby cities to purchase drugs, primarily from Mexican DTOs and criminal groups. Traffickers also smuggle large amounts of illicit drugs, primarily marijuana, into the United States from Canada and Mexico through reservations that border these countries, namely the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation in New York, commonly referred to as the Akwesasne, and the Tohono O'odham Reservation in Arizona.

    Multiple tons of high-potency marijuana are smuggled through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation each week by Native American DTOs that are supplied by Canada-based DTOs. Native American DTOs also smuggle multithousand-tablet quantities of MDMA into the United States and multikilogram quantities of cocaine into Canada through the reservation. As much as 20 a of all high-potency marijuana produced in Canada each year is smuggled through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation, which accounts for less than half a percent of the U.S.-Canada border. The shared international border and geography of the reservation make it conducive to cross-border drug trafficking activity while also inhibiting law enforcement interdiction efforts.

    An estimated 5 to 10 b of all the marijuana produced in Mexico is transported by highly organized and compartmentalized Mexican DTOs each year through the Tohono O'odham Reservation, which accounts for less than 4 percent of the U.S.-Mexico border. These traffickers also smuggle lesser amounts of cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. Drug traffickers exploit the vast stretches of remote, sparsely populated desert, the 75 miles of largely unprotected border with Mexico, and the highways that connect the reservation to major metropolitan areas to distribute illicit drugs in markets throughout the United States.

    Read it for yourself. Trump is full of sh** and anyone with half a brain knows the drug justification doesn't hold.
