So can someone who is pro-wall explain how funneling people to legal ports where they aren't thoroughly checking the ID/paperwork of every passenger, and have 40 seconds to decide if they want to investigate for drugs/human trafficking is going to change anything? Also the majority of hard drugs (heroin/cocaine) already comes through legal ports. Weed is really the only drug where they capture large quantities going across the border, and this is really a non-issues since it is being legalized

where exactly do you get your info?

Weed is the only drug they catch in large quantities? Really?

And how long would you like inspections to be at the border? 5 min? 10 min? Do you know how the process works exactly?

You seem to be basing all your facts off the el chap trial. Correct me if im wrong.

The fact they are eve wasting time looking for weed at this point is a complete joke.

I don't know how long the inspection should be, there are too many vehicles coming through as it is now for them to handle build a wall and add more traffic and no more man power just a vague recapitalization of scanner equipment lmao. This will do absolutely nothing to stop drug entry they are already sending boats through miami and California as well.

Build the wall to stop some shitty cartel weed mules good job fox and friends! Then again Hannity will tell his base that weed is a gateway drug

Should have posted this sooner but this warmed my heart ... and made me hungry:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...rs-pizza-us-government-shutdown-a8726696.html

Canada feels for the US air traffic controllers who are working without pay, feeling the stress but have to focus. As an air traffic controller there's 0 room for error but plenty of room for pizza!

These guys have to do the job with 100% pinpoint accuracy 100% of the time. If they lose focus like thinking "how the fuck will I get paid" it's bad news.

So sympathetic loving Canadians bought and sent them pizzas - pizzas to many air traffic controllers from all over Canada

I thought that was pretty nice, just out of the kindness of people's pockets

Don't forget that Canada money is only 6/10s the value of America money so we really paid for this.
 
All stories like this do is reinforce the notion that most Canadians are generally nice people... and I'm getting a little tired of that shit tbh.

Till you find out they ordered it with double pineapple and you realize they're evil cause that crap has no business on pizza.
 
The twist is that the pizzas are gluten free vegan with pineapple.
 
Oh so pizza from the nice Canadians is cool but delicious McDonalds from the One True POTUS isn’t?
