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.

During the Trump administration, illegal immigration was the lowest in 45 years. In just three and a half years, Creepy Joe's clown show has elevated illegal immigration ten times higher, and it is no longer just a crisis at the border,

An Immigration Crisis Beyond Imagining
Even with a surge in illegal crossings in 2019—this was due to a legal loophole that encouraged illegals to cross with minors—the Trump administration had brought apprehensions down to between 800 and 1,500 a day in his final year in office, the lowest numbers in 45 years. Four months into the Biden administration, apprehensions spiked to about 6,000 per day. There were 2.4 million apprehensions in 2022, a daily average of 6,575. In 2023 there were three million apprehensions, a daily average of 8,219.

Entering 2024, apprehensions were up to 12,000 to 15,000 per day.

Subcommittee Chairman McClintock Opening Remarks:
Hearing on the Biden Border Crisis: Exploitation of Unaccompanied Alien Children
On Inauguration Day, our Border was secure. The Remain in Mexico policy had slowed illegal immigration to a trickle, court-ordered deportations were being enforced and the Border Wall was nearing completion. By the afternoon of that day, Joe Biden had reversed these policies, producing the largest illegal mass migration in history.

In the last 27 months, they have deliberately admitted two million illegal aliens into our country, a population larger than the state of Nebraska. And while the Border Patrol was overwhelmed, another 1.5 million known gotaways have entered as well. That is an additional illegal population larger than the entire state of Hawaii.

The Trump policies slowed encounters of unaccompanied children to 33,000 – the lowest level in eight years. In the last fiscal year, a record 152,000 came across. That’s almost a five fold increase.

Biden had exactly the same tools available to him as Trump. It should be obvious that this is a deliberate policy that ignores not only the welfare of Americans but that of the migrant children as well.

On a border trip last year, I asked a CBP officer how to stop the trafficking of children into this country. His answer was immediate: get them safely home. He said, the cartels charge thousands of dollars to traffic these children and they don’t give refunds. The moment children are returned home, their business will dry up. In another border trip, I was shocked to learn that no effort is made to get these children back to their homes, and very little effort is made vetting the so-called sponsors of these children and very little interest in following up on their welfare once they are abandoned to these so-called sponsors.

What happens to them? The administration’s response is basically, “don’t-know-don’t care.” But a recent New York Times investigation sheds some light on this question. After they get to the U.S., many are forced by their so-called sponsors into dangerous jobs with fake identity documents. Earlier this year, a sanitation company employing over 100 illegal alien children in jobs in slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants in the Midwest, paid 1.5 million in civil penalties after a federal court found that these children were using “caustic chemicals to clean razor-sharp saws” and “working overnight shifts.”

In one of the great ironies of bill-titles, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 makes this possible. While Children from Mexico and Canada are immediately sent safely home, all others are admitted. That’s a tremendous incentive to send unaccompanied children to the border.

In 2014, even the Obama Administration recognized the danger and asked Congress to provide it with “additional authority to exercise discretion in processing the return and removal of unaccompanied minor children from non-contiguous countries like Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.” The House passed a bill to do just that, but Senate Democrats blocked it.

The Trump Administration was able to staunch the flow with new and strict requirements to ensure the safety of these children once placed with a sponsor, as well as Title 42 expulsion authority.

However, in 2021, the Biden Administration dismantled Trump-era requirements to vet sponsors and perform background checks for individuals in the sponsor household, many of whom are involved in smuggling the children in the first place. And the Biden Administration stopped subjecting them to Title 42.

We now know that the administration has simply lost track of over 85,000 of these children. In September 2022, Axios reported that “roughly one-in-three follow-up calls made to released migrant kids or their sponsors between January and May went unanswered.”

Don’t-know-don’t-care. According to the New York Times, the cabinet secretary responsible for these children, Xavier Becerra, likened the sponsor placement process to an assembly line that wasn’t moving fast enough. He complained “if Henry Ford had seen this in his plant, he would have never become famous and rich. This is not the way you do an assembly line.”

Last week this Committee approved a bill that would help stop this tragedy by returning these children safely home – as we already do for children coming from Mexico or Canada. No Democrats supported our bill. I am hopeful that after hearing the testimony of our witnesses, our colleagues will rethink their opposition to the long-overdue reform.

And although we are focusing today on young and vulnerable children, we should note that a large portion of so-called unaccompanied children are late teenagers, or young men claiming to be minors. That’s a subject for another day.

NO we are not turning ... it was more than likely my own district #8 which was blue for generations, iron range , harbor and natl park.. very blue, but the little spot I live in is red as red can be and the district has an old hockey hero who I feel could hold the office for life if he wishes,, but He made some bad moves and now has a strong candidate running against him and a bunch of money working to flip the district.. still a long shot I think but surprising things have been happening.. in our country..

we have done very well with the full blue government over the last few years.. so I doubt the state will flip... but my spot will probably remain red.. Odd, while the old forest road which we live on is all blue except for one, the lake itself and the township is very red.. so on the road of just over half a mile we have 14 homes, running off it and 13 are blue and the odd red guy is sort of unsociable and not active. never at the township meetings or anything.. but a good guy, he and I come from very close homes originally in far NW minn. but we are about 20 years different in age, i being the old fart..
