Lots and lots of illegal drugs cross the Mexican Border. If we had control of that border we would lose far less people every year to overdoses of illegal drugs. 100,000 people in one year is way too many.
While the overworked Border Patrol is processing all the illegals who cross the border and turn themselves in, the cartels are running the drug smugglers across the border. That way the smugglers are not being caught as often. Secure the border and the border agents will be able to catch far more drug smugglers.
Federal agents say the powerful synthetic opioid is becoming a drug of choice for the cartels because it’s highly profitable and easier to smuggle.

Obama and Biden built the cages and caged illegals but Trump was blamed for doing so.
A meme about a recent speech is true. The facilities were built during the Obama era -- and were intended to hold migrant children for up to 72 hours.

Obviously we do not catch all the terrorists who cross the Mexican border. One day some of these terrorists may do what terrorist do and a large number of Americans will die.
The vast majority of the people who cross our Mexican border illegally may be good people but a percentage will commit crimes including rape, robbery and murder. If they were not in our nation they would not be able to commit those crimes.
What would actually help is a total revamp of our outdated immigration laws and a secure border. That will not happen becasue both the Republcian Party and the Democratic Party see uses for illegal immigrants. The Republican Party sees them as cheap labor and the Democrats view them as future Democrats to replace the blacks who are beginning to wise up to the fact that it is the Democrats who are holding the blacks down.
It was Trump who initiated Operation Warp Speed which got us the vaccines in record time. If Hillary had been elected President we probably would still be waiting for the first vaccine.
Everyone would be wise to put aside their partisan hang-ups and call Operation Warp Speed what it was: a success.

Operation Warp Speed was one of those things we should want to be able to repeat. Yet, as Alex Tabarrok points outtoday at Marginal Revolution, it’s mostly “a story yet to be told.”
“Operation Warp Speed was by far the most successful government program against COVID,” Tabarrok writes, and it’s hard to disagree. You could argue he’s actually understated in his praise. It might be one of the most successful government programs, period. The success in treating COVID is undeniable, but that may only be the start of Operation Warp Speed’s positive effects. If the seeds that government helped plant for mRNA vaccines eventually blossom into better flu vaccines and new cancer treatments, it would be the best use of 18 billion taxpayer dollars in American history. Plus, it was an exception to the rule about “temporary” government programs: Operation Warp Speed achieved its goal and was disbanded in February of this year.
While the full effects of the program remain to be seen, there’s still plenty to be learned from its successes so far. Tabarrok mentions the uncharacteristic speed with which the bureaucracy acted, the lifting of regulatory hurdles, and the nature of the public–private partnerships as subjects worthy of further study. The media, however, insist on nonstop doom and gloom in COVID coverage. “We know a lot about CDC and FDA failure but in order to know what we should build upon we also need to know what worked,” Tabarrok writes.
Yuval Levin touched on this issue as well in his cover piece for the September issue of Commentary. “We will have trouble learning lessons from our pandemic experience because we live in a time of unremitting negativity about America on all sides of our culture and politics,” he writes. “All we can see is what is wrong with our country, and you can’t learn much if you aren’t willing to acknowledge successes alongside failures.”
What did Trump accomplish for our nation.
The president will face questions over his record in the White House during the final debate of the 2020 election cycle.

Speaking to a packed crowd in Dimondale -- a suburb of Lansing, Michigan -- Donald Trump made a direct appeal to black Americans, asking: "What the hell do you have to lose" by supporting me? That was August 2016. The question caused consternation from the elite media. There weren't enough...
