"Unauthorized" border crossing (and otherwise innocent) immigrants are a key piece of the cartel smuggling apparatus. They are used as bait to overwhelm CBP resources (and asylum seekers often want to be caught, theyll be given a court date to make their asylum case and in many cases released), once the resources are overloaded the drug smugglers go through the rugged terrain to drop-off points.
- prmoustache 4y agoBy this you are basically implying we should rather open the border totally so that drug smugglers can't use them.
- notch898a 4y agoThat's what I would do, yes. Although I didn't mean to imply that with my previous statement. The closed border approach would be to somehow erect a barrier that lessens the ability for them to consume CBP resources between ports of entry.
