I’ve got a friend who was stationed in south Tucson (not border patrol) before Trump was elected and who has been in multiple gunfights with cartel members & drug runners/human smuggling and he swears after Trump got into office they had a massive drop in encounters with cartel members & drug runners. He left about 2.5 years into trumps term.
Other friend who was a cop on the Tohono Oʼodham reservation and who I was ridding with when we had a Mexican hummer with a 50 cal 1/4 mile inside the res pointing at us said it got way to dangerous and he left before Trump was elected. The res has land in Mexico and they went back and forth freely without any US Govt checkpoints. Now they have a wall and are required to use the crossing points
Yeah. I got carried away. Trump was good about border security (I wish he’d finished the ‘wall’).
But others like Obama were, compared to today’s Dem-o-craps, way tougher on border security. We are sprinting left toward total insanity.
True that, very true sadly, no question about that
We drove down to the border last summer & since the border patrol was no longer actively patrolling and monitoring/responding to alarms and such the cartels are actually cutting the border fence so sections can be removed for access and then replaced. Makes it quite difficult to detect the hole without a close visual inspection
