As many times as I've heard someone say that the southwest border isn't the main line for drug trafficking into America, I would expect to see less of this kind of thing.

It goes on and on. They (trump and *LIVE!) are trying to sell us beach front property in Big Bend. Whats worst, they are stopping the drugs from coming in on the MAIN routes, all while not being paid. Thanks GOP!

I'm absolutely sure there are no illegal immigrants coming in through Florida. Also, estimates state that up to 90% of the illegal drugs that enter the United States come through the Mexico border. The Democrats are not serious about stopping, or even acknowledging, there is a problem. They are only interested in increasing their voter rolls, meanwhile they get purposely uninformed voters to repeat lies about racism as innocent Americans and Mexicans, and others, suffer the ultimate price for their desire to scuttle Trump's attempt to protect our country.

I couldn't tell you of any Cuban's that I can recall being detained by ICE or Border Patrol here in San Angelo, but I can't keep track of the amount of native Mexican's that have...
