U.S. customs officer accused of letting drug-filled cars enter from Mexico, spending bribe money...

The overwhelming majority of drugs coming in from Mexico come through the Ports of Entry and bribing of officers working the bridges is how the drugs gets through. And just to give folks an idea about the amount of traffic that passes northbound in the city of El Paso, Texas and the following was provided by the State of Texas:

In 2018, the El Paso port of entry handled northbound border-crossing traffic of about 811,000 trucks, more than 12 million cars (with 22 million passengers) and more than 7 million pedestrians. and we are not taking in train traffic.

In other words there was a border crossing northbound into El Paso, Texas through the Ports of Entry every single 0.754 seconds of every single minute of every single hour of every single day of the year.

So.....

Having a wall that only works 80% of the time is a bad solution. Instead we should have no wall which works 10% of the time.

Much better.



Seriously?
