Former members of crime lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman’s cartel testified during his trial that drug traffickers usually smuggled drugs through legal checkpoints along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The testimony is interesting in the context of the shutdown fight in Washington over President Trump's demands for a border wall.
=============================================
With migrants tunneling under existing walls by the hundred & drug traffickers driving through legal border check points, the case for a border wall costing billions of $$$ is getting thinner & thinner. It certainly is nothing to destroy our economy & perhaps drive the country into a recession over. V. Putin would like that a lot if it happened.
