NYT declares a "national emergency" is occurring on the southern border. We all know the NYT is in Trump's hip pocket and will print anything he wants them to...
And, as I have posted before, the Cartels are in complete control at the border...both sides of it, really, but absolutely on the Mexican side. And like I've posted, and others have been saying for months, drugs are pouring across the OPEN border, no wall, no barriers of any kind, and the Cartels use the immigrants as pawns. They'll send several hundred across the border, our agents respond, and then the drugs are sent across where the agents just vacated.
Fentanyl, especially, and heroin, and other junk, is free-flowing across the UN-walled border, and 72,000 Americans are dying every year from these drugs. Not to mention all the collateral damage being done to innocent people. For instance....
...one of my rent houses, tenants are NSU students, was broken into over the weekend. The students had gone home during the Mardi Gras break, the thugs watch houses like that. This afternoon, one of the thugs was busted when he tried to demonstrate (to sell) an I-pad to an undercover cop, pretending to be fencing stolen property. The serial number matched the one stolen from my renters. The thug is a drug-head, who steals, then fences, to support his drug habit. The cops knew all about him.
Point is, even if you say, well those 72,000 Americans are stupid for using illegal drugs and they get what they get, other crimes occur because of the drug epidemic.
BUILD THE WALL!
MORE THAN THAT...we should tell Mexico, we've had enough, and either they do something about those Cartels, or we will.
