With help from technology, authorities there are working to curb the flow of fentanyl into the United States through extensive searches.seized in the United States is found at U.S-Mexico border crossings in Southern California, according to Mariza Marin, who is port director at the San Ysidro Port of Entry between San Diego and Tijuana.

To search for drugs, border patrol agents use non-intrusive inspection technology that enables agents to scan as drivers pass through. Drug packages can be concealed in different areas, including in gas tanks. A fentanyl package can be about the size of brick, and contain a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of fentanyl, according to Marin.They aren't just looking at where smugglers can hide the drugs, but also who can carry them.

Tunnels are also used to smuggle drugs into the United States.

Authorities have no idea how long it was in operation, who was running it, and how many others like it may be left.

Why is NATO ignoring this Invasion from Mexico?

Thanks to fake president Biden

When are you going to talk about the proof about election interferences?

🤬🤬😖😫🤬🧐🤔🔔🔔🔔📯🥁

What? You mean the border isn’t secure? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you! Biden Harris mayorkas said it’s secure, so it must be, right? I mean these are 3 of the smartest people on the planet! Biden even drive past the border a decade ago in a motorcade, so he knows first hand!

Educate and Regulate. American's LOVE their DRUGS. Use $ for Addiction and Mental Health. The 'War on Drugs' a Total Failure. ☮️🧡🇺🇲💪🏻

Epstein list, never saw the light of day. FTX, media members had people clap for SBF. The laptop story suppressed by the media until yesterday, little mention of the suppression and 1st amendment violations now that its out in the open. We cannot trust MSM, SEC & Government.

Yet the current administration continues to allow it .

Brought in by US Citizens?

I recall a great hew & cry from Republicans when, early on in the Biden admin, there was a report of an interception of a large shipment of drugs by the Border Patrol. By their reaction, one got the impression the GOPers were expecting it and Dems cut off their supply.

Prob has been exacerbated by drug war overall on enforcement side. Dealing w/these types of narcotics not only their use but smuggling & as a commercial product is made far worse by lack of a universal healthcare system, accessible treatment & retaining fed cannabis prohibition.

Thanks to Joe Biden.

As long as there is a demand for drugs nothing will stop it!

Have we tried making it harder to cross by building some sort of divider, a wall if you wish?

Remember the good ol days when a “real” President recognized and dealt with the problem? “President Barack Obama ordered 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the U.S.-Mexico border”. 🦨

The war on drugs continues to fail and cause more deaths.

This is bogus....the biden administration is doing nothing but stifling free speech while allowing criminals to bring drugs and traffic children across the border. The total corruption is finally being exposed exposed. twitterfiles
