I applaud the @CBPMidAtlantic, @ICEgov, @USCG, @PhillyPolice officers working to stop the flow of illegal drugs through our ports of entry. inquirer.com/news/cocaine-s…
This seizure is further evidence that a border wall will not stop drugs from “pouring into the country” as the President has claimed, and points to the vulnerability they have created by reassigning @CBP officers from already understaffed Ports to the southern border.
I hope the President will stop playing political games, get serious about stopping illegal drug trafficking and start working to address the real threats of illicit smuggling at our Ports of Entry.
It's time for this Administration to start working with Congress to address staffing shortages and improving the screening of cargo, passenger vehicles and sea containers.
