[ Although Pres. Trump’s southern wall won’t be the perfect remedy to stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the country, I don’t see where it will be a “gift” to the drug cartels.

Insights welcome. ]

Forcing the cartels to spend money on high tech ways of getting around the wall doesn’t sound like a gift... But then again these CNN fools are the same a-holes that think breaking windows stimulates the economy.

They will pay for Trump’s wall since it is so beneficial to them.

Yeah, I screwed up and gave CNN the benefit of the doubt.

Apparently, these media idiots are not familiar with the term “defense in depth.”

The cartels are rich. Maybe the Cartels will pay for the wall since it helps them so much.

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

That’s preposterous. Once the wall is built there is no way a submarine would be able to cross it.

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.

Really she chooses to use this example of how the drug smugglers are not using the Mexican border to smuggle drugs?

This is an example of how desperate they are to get their product in to the US.

These submarines (actually a low-profile boat) are disposable handmade boats that cost the smugglers at least $200K to make. The craft makes one trip and is scuttled after its one use. The boat is equipped with scuttle valves that the pilot opens to sink the boat if capture by the authorities is likely. The pilot is paid (from my reading) about $50K to pilot the boat to Florida.

So, she thinks that this demonstrates how the drug smugglers would rather spend this kind of money to get their product to the US rather than just pay human traffickers to have their cargo carry the drug trafficker’s cargo across the border.

Sexual exploitation, rape, criminal sexual assault are rampant in the Illegals.

Young girls are brought into the country as sex slaves/prostitutes and find themselves trapped with no clear way out.

They don’t speak the language, know anybody here. Should they go to the police there is the chance they could be deported back to the shit-hole they came from. How many will take that chance.

I agree. She makes this statement:

” If anything, they believe the wall will increase their profits, strengthening criminal networks.”

...and makes no argument to back it up.

We need to break free of the paradigm that if sonmeone’s mouth is moving on CNN that their brain is sending impulses to their vocal cords...

Right. They think to solve one major problem means that all the other more minor problems then remain unsolvable. Their logic eludes me completely, likely because to them logic is mostly anathema.

Walls work in Israel, India (times two), South Korea, Mexico and Hungary.

But somehow, in some magic way, they will not work for the US.

Are these people stupid or do they think we are stupid?
