Wall will not stop drugs from Mexico. Drones will be flying them in. Already happening here in San Diego.

When a big shipment is interdicted, poison it and let the traffickers off on a technicality, departing with their drugs. A few thousand dead junkies over the next few days would inspire quitting drug abuse on a massive scale! And we’d be rid of the first round.

And execute any convicted drug dealers, no plea-bargain deals for reduced sentences. That would encourage other employment for dealer wannabes.

Thanks for the link. This old article needs to be cited by Trump in his Tuesday address.

Per the article:

As much as 94 percent of the heroin entering America comes from Mexico, estimated William R. Brownfield, a man with a complex title (assistant secretary of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs) who sits at the fulcrum of drug interdiction and diplomatic initiative. During a conference call Thursday, he explained that, in 2017, a synthetic opioid between 10 and 50 times more potent than heroin, raw fentanyl, is being trafficked through Mexico into the U.S. alongside heroin and cocaine, though it’s largely produced in Asia.

Brownfield, who was appointed in 2011 during the Obama administration, said President Donald Trump’s planned border wall with Mexico would be integrated into what he called an existing “wall” of cross-border law enforcement cooperation.
