As long as we are looking at the problems caused from our weak border let's not forget what happens when the circus and the clowns come to town.
As someone who spent a good part of their life fighting drug addiction these are things that need to be addressed.
"CIA-supplied contra planes and pilots carried cocaine from Central America to U.S. airports and military bases. In 1985, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Celerino Castillo reported to his superiors that cocaine was being stored at the CIA’s contra-supply warehouse at Ilopango Air Force Base in El Salvador for shipment to the U.S. The DEA did nothing, and Castillo was gradually forced out of the agency."

"Mena, ArkansasEdit
A number of allegations have been written about and several local, state, and federal investigations have taken place related to the alleged use of the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airportas a CIA drop point in large scale cocaine trafficking beginning in the early 1980s.[13] Some conspiracy theories regarding the airport extend to alleging the involvement of figures such as Oliver North and former presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton.[14]"

"IN OCTOBER 2008, the Justice Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration heralded the arrest of Haji Juma Khan on narcotics and terror charges. His capture, they said, dealt a punishing blow to the Taliban and the symbiotic relationship between the insurgent group and Afghan drug traffickers.
Yet, unbeknownst to all but the closest observers of the largely forgotten Afghanistan War, Khan was quietly released from Federal Bureau of Prisons custody last month. After nearly 10 years at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, the terms of his release – like nearly everything else about his case – remain shrouded in secrecy."

"Now the question is why heroin use has dramatically increased since 2002? Maybe the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001 after the September 11th attacks under the Bush regime had something to do with it? The main-stream media (MSM) establishment mouthpiece The Washington Post admitted in 2006 that heroin production in Afghanistan “broke all records” while under U.S. occupation"

Though we know Trump has done much to end these problems I am highly doubtful that these issues are still not on the table, killing Americans for profit and locking up the poor and minorties to this very day.
Until we swallow the truth that many of the problems facing Americans don't come here illegally across our border they come here in planes and legal ports of entry under the disguise of national security
Our current heroin epidemic and the crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s and 90s that is still destroying lives to this day are perfect examples of these problems.
