Yet another reason to build that wall on the border.

I'm getting a thought. Mexico is exporting its poverty problem. Let's export our drug problem and call it an even trade...

The thing is, cocaine and other drugs being transported into the United States aren't really what the police are looking for, they are looking for US currency crossing the border into Mexico. Bundles of dead presidents. When they confiscate the cash they can use it to militarize the border.
