Most of the drugs come through legal ports of entry. A wall is going to do nothing to solve that.
I support increased security at our ports of entry. I support more CBP agents.
Lets start on areas where we agree.
Before we do that. Lets open the government, so that our CBP agents are paid. Their lives are being impacted right now. Some of them are questioning whether this is a viable line of work for them going forward.
Anyone who actually lives on the border will know people affected by this shutdown. It’s amazing that those idiots who live in the interior are making this a issue when those of us who deal with the border on a day to day basis know that this isn’t a “national emergency.”
Your family has my sympathies. This issue is really making me angry. I know so many people who are being affected, and I see no end in sight. Donald Trump and the Republican Party largely do not care about human suffering as long as it benefits them personally. It’s disgusting.
That’s why Donald Trump and the Republicans plan to keep the CBP and Coast Guard furloughed indefinitely until he gets what he wants. What we see as pain he sees as a opportunity to make money.
