You mean to say you're supporting a checkpoint in Indiana to catch drugs that came from Mexico?

Fix the checkpoint in Texas then if it's leaking drugs to Indiana ...

It's not a checkpoint, it's surveillance.

Presumably CBP is not stupid and that surveillance is providing value they can not otherwise get only in Texas.

They've been at these programs for decades; if they were effective we wouldn't be in a drug epidemic At some point you have to cut your losses and accept that the only benefits were the politicians Flock donated to.

I'm not saying you have to abolish CBP. I'm saying they should be protecting the border and this ain't it.

Do you feel the same way about murder? Gary, Indiana has a murder problem for decades. Should we stop prosecuting it? Would murder get better or worse?

I guess we could build a wall or something.
