Notice the never ending rants from the orange crowd? as the truth becomes known, we find that the greatest force of the Fentanyl tragedy is the republican party under trump...

The rotten stuff is not brought in by those walking over the border, but in trucks cars and buses driving via check points.. and what will stop it.. the gadgets sitting in warehouses not used because trump republcans will not fund the use of the unites to detect and capture the drugs as the driver into the USA... so which republicans are getting the most pay from the drug cartels.. the obvious most apparent and motivated is trump of course, but is he smart enough to demand congress take no action to fund thier use? doubtful...

So the need is clear, every member of the so called republican party needs to be removed and replaced by someone of any party who will make America the concern and not the pocket of themselves or the orange head man...

Read the excerpts from this one article, then follow the link and read all the information and then read the little known facts via the video and the last page news of the the problem...

GET RID OF ALL THE CULT...


Some truth is needed to start any meaningful discussion..

Customs and Border Protection has spent millions on the most up-to-date high-tech scanners to spot fentanyl crossing the southern U.S. border, but many scanners are sitting in warehouses unused because Congress hasn’t appropriated funds to install them, acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller told NBC News.

Miller gave NBC News a tour of a port of entry in Nogales, Arizona, where half of all fentanyl seized at the border is stopped on its way into the U.S. from Mexico.

Officers in Nogales have found fentanyl hidden inside crates of Coca-Cola, where bottles are painted black to look like liquid, sawed in half and filled with fentanyl pills; they’ve confiscated millions in fentanyl pills stuffed inside the water barrel of a commercial bus’ bathroom; they’ve even found fentanyl in cars carrying young children in the back in car seats. More than 95% of fentanyl seized at the border, Miller said, is actually brought into the U.S. in personal vehicles.

The new technology, known as Non-Intrusive Inspection, or NII, lets CBP X-ray a percentage of cars and trucks as they pass through the massive U-shaped screeners, which look something like car washes. Drivers don’t have to get out of their vehicles to be screened, which means traffic can keep flowing through border checkpoints with fewer interruptions.

But some of the equipment that has been purchased hasn’t yet been put into use, because Congress hasn’t allocated the funding needed to install it. The money to install the screeners was in the supplemental funding request Republicans blocked.

“We do have technology that’s in the warehouse that has been tested. But we need approximately $300 million [to] actually put the technology in the ground,” Miller said. “It’s extremely frustrating.”

Exactly how much equipment is being stored and where is unknown. The contracts to buy the machines totaled in the tens of millions.

to install them, CBP says.NBC News
A CBP official speaking on background said the Biden administration’s “supplemental funding request would provide funding for civil works projects to allow for NII systems procured with previous-year funds to be installed.”

At the Mariposa Port of Entry in Nogales, which has the new machines installed, Miller met officers watching scans of commercial trucks as they drove through the machines. But in the vast majority of border crossings by vehicles in Nogales and elsewhere, officers still depend on their intuition to tell them when something seems off.

Artificial intelligence would be likely to make fentanyl scanning more efficient, and CBP would like to use it more, Miller said.

Proof of how DESPERATE the FJB Administration, and its willing tools, are getting.

"acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller (a democrat appointee) told NBC News".
If money was appropriated for purchase then $ was appropriated for installation or have the democrats already squandered that? What was Bidens take?
Isn't he a democrat president?
NBC news a reliable source? Hardly.
Your post stilted? Absolutely, as usual.
