This would be hilarious but for the deadly consequences.

Quote:
NOGALES, Mexico — When President Donald Trump threatened 25 percent tariffs unless Mexico put a halt to fentanyl trafficking, the government snapped to attention. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum dispatched an additional 10,000 national guard members to the border. For more than three weeks, troops have stopped nearly every U.S.-bound car leaving this city, questioning drivers, sliding mirrors under vehicles, poking fiber-optic scopes into gas tanks and walking drug-sniffing dogs around autos.

The result? The troops in Nogales have found 150 fentanyl pills, according to official statistics. Meanwhile, U.S. officials just across the border have seized more than 400,000.
So who is not doing enough to stop the flow of Fentanyl into the US?
Answer, the US and its because of the demand and not lack of interdiction.
