Why are you worrying about illegal drugs entering the US. We should be worrying about legal drugs prescribed in our country, like opiates. This is an epidemic we should be focused on
Lets focus on all the issues not just one. There is a heroin epidemic you just want to ignore that?
"We understand that this heroin is primarily coming from Mexico, over the border." Ron Portman
on Tuesday, March 8th, 2016 in Department of Homeland Security hearing.
The report also says that Mexican "transnational criminal organizations," (the DEA’s term for drug-dealing gangs) "pose the greatest criminal drug threat to the United States; no other group is currently positioned to challenge them."

Do you know why there is a heroin epidemic....because they got hooked on opiates which were prescribed by doctors. When the prescription runs out they go to the next best thing....heroin. I had a C section and was given 30 days of oxy with refills. I hated it but many love it and get hooked.

In March, commentators began to notice a strong correlation between where now President-Elect Donald Trump was successfully polling and the places where white Americans were increasingly dying.
These “despair deaths” are tied to the opioid crisis plaguing the United States
The majority of drugs come through the Mexican border overland. Smuggling via ships and aircraft have been substantially curtailed since the 1980s.
The cartels also smuggle the majrority of illegal aliens into the US and that is a large chunk of their business. Even though if the border is sealed and the drug business declines, Central America will be safer and based on liberal media theories there will be fewer illegals trying to make the crossing.
And no, I don't advocate legalizing cocaine and meth. Another thing that will reduce drug use is if our society has better morals and values, but liberals are against any kind of religious or moral education in schools. I do believe that if we go back to becoming a more Christian nation we will also have less issues with drugs and crime.
Good grief. Morals and values doesn't take care of addiction.

Seriously. Those links show that opiate addiction is right through church country. There's a church on every corner around there and that did nothing to stop the addiction.
