Trump's Mexico wall would be a gift to the drug cartels
CNN ^ | January 9, 2018 | Alice Driver

The tricks of the multibillion-dollar drug business include using drones, submarines, ultralight planes and even frozen sharks to transport product across the US-Mexico border. Just consider that in 2016, US Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations agents attempted to seize a submarine in the Pacific Ocean with nearly $194 million worth of cocaine.

And yet President Trump argues that his proposed border wall, a throwback to a bygone era, will "stop much of the drugs from pouring into this country and poisoning our youth."

The media continues its propaganda war against border security. Of course, a wall will not solve everything. But it should be part of an overall plan for enhanced border security.

Once it’s certain that AT&T owns this crap network, be sure to dump your AT&T subscriptions.

That's OK - we've given them the gift of free access to our nation for decades now, let's try the gift that makes it harder for them to get in.

Israel’s wall has kept the Palestinian bombers from blowing up coffee shops and buses, so walls can help.

And giving away the store to them, like we’ve been doing for 50 years, really hurts them, right?

Semis and mules are also a major way drugs come into this country. Hiding a kilo of cocaine in a whole trailer of goods is quite easy.

Is CNN suggesting that the wall will not stop a submarine?
