  1. Start burying these traffickers neck deep in the ground, hands and feet bound, about 10 feet from a Fire Ant Mound. After a few of these seines are recorded from beginning to end, then sent to the Cartels as a warning, the U.S. smuggling would be greatly reduced.

  2. This guy must have been successful in transporting these drugs in the past. How else would he possibly think he could get this past CBP and drug dogs. Doesn’t make sense. No one is that stupid.

    “Heroine & Fentanyl should be an IMMEDIATE DEATH SENTENCE for Traffickers.”

    …it certainly can be for their customers…
