Wasn’t the purpose of the post-911 wars to keep bad people from entering the US?
The US Marines thought so:
“We fight over there, so we don’t have to fight here”
These guys are risking their ass in the War on Terror to keep the US safe? How does this work?
In the news:
Lewis County Part of Bigger Drug Trafficking Picture
“Methamphetamine, heroin and other drugs come north on I-5 from Mexico, while other drugs are exchanged at a border farther north.”
“Much of the trafficking can be traced to drug cartels, most predominantly in Washington to the Sinaloa Cartel from Mexico.”
DEA: ‘Meth … is dark horse riding side by side with heroin’; Mexican cartels operating in Northwest
DEA:
“James said western Washington might as well be the backyard for three Mexican drug cartels.”
Looks like heroin traffickers cross into the US free of screening, scanning, pat downs, special IDs, inspection of personal items, etc.

Thanks for your service
Domestic heroin trafficking makes a mockery of all war on terror crime fighting efforts, tactics, tools, & technologies.
911 should have been a drug trafficker’s worst nightmare. The US Dept. of Homeland Security- a whole new federal department- was created to stop terrorists and prevent another 911.
What happened?
The press remains silent.
Has anyone ever seen the press question the US Dept. of Homeland Security/CBP on their role in keeping heroin out of the US?
Frequent nationwide updates here.
Seems like local LE agencies are potentially set up for a conflict of interest- they benefit when heroin is not kept out of the US:
