Post 911 security protocols still unable to keep illegal drugs out:
New drug report: Meth still Oregon’s No. 1 problem, run mostly by Mexican drug traffickers
Methamphetamine-
“However, meth remains pervasive because Mexican drug traffickers continue to smuggle meth powder, liquid and finished “crystal meth” or “ice” from laboratories outside the state, the report says. Some production operations seem to have been transferred to California’s Simi Valley.”
Heroin-
“Again, most of the heroin is smuggled into Oregon by Mexican drug trafficking organizations, largely through California and sometimes through Arizona and Nevada.”
In Mexico, illicit poppy ‘gardens’ feed U.S. demand for heroin
Heroin deaths spike by 58 percent in Seattle area
Opioid crisis: Highway to hell – how heroin infiltrates New England
Not one mention in the article Re: how heroin gets past the US Dept. of Homeland Security and into the US?
Thanks newspeople.
Heroin traffickers are frequently successful at what they do. If terrorists were just as interested in entering the US- it appears that federal departments and agencies would have no way to stop them.
Enhanced ID has been required to cross into the US since 2009.
If it works to keep bad guys out- how are cartels moving heroin into the Puget Sound area in 2015?
DEA:
“James said western Washington might as well be the backyard for three Mexican drug cartels.”
