guy on right now bringing up the drug connection is food for thought.

A few years ago, a border patrol agent talked about an 18 wheeler apprahended with SEVEN TONS of coke on board. He went on to say they thought they only caught one in five such trucks.

Anyone know how many lines of coke seven tons is? OR, thirty-five tons? Just how many addicts do we have here?

You can't do the math? LOL!!

How many lines out of an 8 ball? iirc, from about a hundred years ago - that is 1/8 ounce. Yes?

Multiply that x 8 = lines per ounce.

Then calculate number of ounces in the total load - 7 or 35 tons. (2000 lbs x 16 oz = 32,000 ounces per ton.)

Multiply lines per ounce x total ounces = total lines.

Hope this helps.

Note: No illegal drugs were abused in this post.

The guy is Chris Simcox, founder of the Minutemen. He said that it's likely U.S. gov't officials are frightened of assassinations at the hands of the drug cartels and that's one of the many reasons why they're not exactly enthusiastic about shutting down the border.
