Trump’s Cargo Truck Inspections at Border Making Drug Cartels VERY Cranky

The Lid: Uh-Oh, it looks like the leaders of Mexican drug cartels are going to need safe places because they are getting very angry at increased cargo truck inspections implemented by the Trump administration. In a shift from the Obama years, all cargo trucks entering the U.S. from Mexico are screened via non-intrusive inspection equipment, in other words, giant X-ray scanners for trains and trucks. And according to Judicial Watch sources in the U.S. and Mexico, the Mexican drug cartels are “fuming.”

Apparently, only random or sporadic screening was allowed under Obama and all trucks are screened under President Trump.“We felt like we were the welcoming committee and not like we were guarding our borders,” said veteran U.S. Customs agent Patricia Cramer, who also serves as president of the Arizona chapter of the agency’s employee union. “The order was to facilitate traffic, not to stop any illegal drugs from entering the country,” Cramer added. “We want to enforce the law. That’s what we signed up for.” Cramer, a canine handler stationed at the Nogales port of entry in Arizona, said illicit drugs are pouring in through the southern border, especially massive quantities of fentanyl, an opioid painkiller that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says is more potent than morphine.

  1. I can’t think of anything Mexico imports to the U.S. that we need. Lets see, fruit and vegetables swarming with bacteria, tainted beef, shoddy trinkets of every sort, and most of all their human dregs. How about a freeze on trade until they start showing some respect for us.

  2. I say crank up the XRAY Machine to 105% on the reactor. Makes the illegals hiding inside the tractor trailers to run around and then burst like gerbils in a microwave.
