Fentanyl makes a mockery of something like border control. You can fit an absurd number of doeses into a package the size of a standard letter envelope. The demand for Fentanyl is directly related to the vice grip of the DEA on prescription opioids.
> So far in FY23, we have seized over 476 lbs. of Fentanyl between the ports of entry along our southwest border. That's enough to kill 100 million people.
I agree that it would not stop the drug trade... but the wall was never built so calling it "political theatre" is incorrect as well, as it was completely opposed by congress, and faced all kinds of lawsuits that stopped building several times.
"The Wall" as envisioned by the proponents was never completed
Plenty of parts of a wall for photo ops were completed!
The whole thing doesn’t need to exist for political theater, in fact I’d say its lack of actual completion makes it even more a theatrical construction than if it actually was done!
Isn't this what "the wall" and securing the borders was supposed to be for?
