Fact check: According to a 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment by the DEA, Mexican drug cartels “transport the bulk of their drugs over the Southwest border through ports of entry (POEs) using passenger vehicles or tractor trailers.'

bigjake39 Oh well then I guess we don't have an issue. Problem solved!

Yes we need a wall, more technology and more people just like the President said.

Which didn’t get in the US apparently or the’re would be no assessment to report on. Lol. It’s the drugs that have no assessment that is in question. “Mommy, where does heroine come from?..”Not the southern boarder dear”....😂

Soooooooo....open the border then based on that argument?

ILLEGAL DRUGS COME INTO THE COUNTRY BY THE TRUCKLOAD NOT BY THE HANDFUL

Potus is wrong. Immigrants are not responsible for illegal drugs

The drugs will never NEVER stop the demand is too great and the money too good

FACT IS SHIT IS SMUGGLED IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS. YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH CAN BE CARRIED ON SOMEONES BACK. CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR ACTUALLY PUTTING SOME SHIT FROM 4 YEARS AGO. DON'T EVEN THINK X RAYING OF VEHICLES WAS AROUND YET

2015? And we're in ?

But in 2018 they have stopped using POE

This statement is correct, the wall is only a issue for bigoted racist assholes,for decades transporting of drugs have had the same routes, then distributed through out America! There are officials,politicians and law enforcement officers involved in the drug trafficking!🇺🇸🐂💩🤔

That’s why we need more people and technology at the border portals where all immigrants enter. And the drugs are smuggled in cars and other means.

This isn't a fact check it's just corporate media trying to illegitimize anything trump says by engaging in semantics. I'm not a trump person either & it's ridiculously obvious how career dc politicians don't want any results so they can take more tax money while solving nothing

Build that MF'er!!!

How does the WH react to this ?

dkistner the war against pedestrians is racist. You are racist. Open borders.

Your data is a bit old isn’t it? How about up to date

The REAL solution to this problem is the military. The military should be deployed to Honduras and Guatamala. Iradicate the cartels, gangs, and politicians that enable them. We have no problem doing it in the Mid East. We shouldn't have a problem doing it in our back yard

Further reason why wall is need along with stricter Point of entry Patrol not all drugs are smuggled in by illegals but also by American's. This needs to stop. Build the wall and increase Patrol at all entrances.

What's wrong with nbc.. Does this corporation not want a wall.

So many drugs may go through the border undetected that's why there are no stats.

Those Mexican drug kingpins will always find a way

That's the bulk so if some come through the southern border that is an acceptable figure but doesn't count in stopping drugs hitting our streets huh! And the other illegal activities happening in the spaces of our southern territory is acceptable to your version of secure borders

Will President Trump know about this? because the Wall won't stop drug dealers🤔

Do you really need a 5 $billion wall to stop a truck?

Thanks trump for more lies about how you think about border security

DUH.. a single Smuggler on FOOT in the desert can't carry as much in as a SEMI or car on a road ..come on now don't LET A BAGGA DUMB YOU DOWN .. THINK

Drug cartels prefer to use the “path of most resistance” over the 100s of miles of open land? Odd

Bulk comes through ports of entry! But not all!

These are not fact checks. They’re suppositions checking suppositions. There is truth to both arguments which is why wall is only a small part of an overall border protection plan. Enough of the linear thinking and compromise. 5 billion out of a 4 trillion budget is laughable.

schumer and pelosi, without any fanfare or media or protection go down to the border put on a border patrol uniform and go out with agents on patrol for 2 days and nights, and then decide if the request is bogus! do it, walk the talk.

Do we know about human trafficking? Also through POE?

The drugs are still coming from Mexico no matter how they get through

Could you ask him how they know how much is brought across the area's that are unguarded or do they just make stuff up?

That was 4 years ago. Why didn’t Obama do more to stop it?

These fact checks are helpful.

Um if true that makes the wall especially important if we also get improved tech for detecting drugs at the ports of entry. Smugglers will look for alt roots then even more so.

Do they have a legal drivers license, plate number and motor vehicle accident insurance like ALL AMERICANS who use our roads are required to have?

Republicans when black people claim police are killing them unjustly: Black people are killing each other in Chicago what about that? Republicans when Dems point out Americans are killing Americans at a much higher rate than illegals committing crimes: This is a Crisis!!
