    As pointed out in the article, people crossing away from legal checkpoints are actually more likely to be searched than a person crossing with drugs at a legal checkpoint.

    That straight up communist from California... he will lose by a landslide when the nation sees what's he's been doing in California.

    Maybe this is how we get the grand bargain.

    Everyone is beating the drum hard of “how can Joe Biden possibly continue as a candidate,” and Trump insisted the only reason he’s running is how terrible Joe Biden is.

    So let’s replace Joe and then, according to Trump, he’d have no reason to be running for president and would rather be sitting at a golf course, so we can go ahead and replace him too.

    Yes, because no one asked Biden about the cocaine found in the White House... that would be the lowest ever...

    It's also much easier to conceal illegal drugs in legal cargoes. I recall a seizure involving a couple of boxes of cocaine that were packed in a truck with hundreds of boxes of canned chili. Fentanyl is undoubtedly smuggled using a similar technique. Even if Trump significantly increased the size of the Border Patrol and deployed military units to the border to interdict crossings by illegal aliens fentanyl would still continued to be smuggled through legal ports of entry at the same rate that it has been unless the screening of legal cargoes is substantially increased.

    Gonna take Jill to convince him to step down. Should happen pretty quickly. Perfect opportunity for Hillary to come in and save the day. She'd make a worthy adversary to Trump.

    IMHO....we'll see......

    That's a good way of putting it. What I meant was overall it's a loss for both in that neither side is going to budge on how they were going to vote. Dems thought Trump was a crazy liar with no substance and Pubs were thinking Biden is a ghost.

    We're too deep into it, that's why I said the American people lost overall.

    Exactly. The world is laughing at us because we have one of these two for the next 4.5 years as the face of our nation. Pathetic that this is a vote we must make in the USA.

    We lose either way.

    If they get caught, that’s the point. Hard to say how many cross and are never seen.

    All those hours of debate prep, and not one aide told Biden, "Whatever you do, don't stand there looking dazed with your mouth hanging open."

    Jill is part of the problem. She likes the idea of Joe being President more than Joe does. Despicable human being for continuing to encourage him to run.

    Not really. We have a ton of methods for estimating got aways. If it was close, you could argue on the margins about different methods, but it is like an order of magnitude off.
