The thing that’s still not clear to me, if it’s about drugs (which, tbh, I don’t think it is, but I’ll play along), we’ve established that most drugs come in through POE.
Your response to this is that building a wall will free up resources to allow CBP to better police the POE. Now, first, I’m not really even sure if this is true. A wall without personnel manning it presents more of an obstacle than open country, but certainly not an insurmountable one. But if you acknowledge that the bulk of the drugs are coming in through POE, why spend years and billions building a wall with the idea that you can devote more resources to POE in the future, when you could just allocate that money now to do more customs drug interdiction?

1. THis is a 23 second clip. Who knows what happened around it. Remember you and all other reps spending hours of research to defend a MAGA hat wearer with a **** eating grin?
2. He should go to jail for assault, UNLESS, there's video evidence that defends him. That being said, I'm sure this person did something to provoke the attacker in some way, not saying the attacker is right, just saying that someone doesn't just attack.
3. Does no one on the right understand the rights guaranteed by the first Amendment? They want to teach Protestant Christian teachings in our schools and don't understand that the first Amendment ONLY applies to the scope of government. It doesn't apply to private citizens and so on so forth. In the "great" era Trump loves so dearly, police and the national guard used to regularly beat protesters. That's a much grosser violation of first Amendment rights than anything going on in this video.
4. TPUSA is scum. It's full of whiny the world hates me because I'm white entitled boys. It's filled with the worst users from r/thedonald, people who look to get victim famous and maybe get on Fox News. And it's worked for the founder, he's considered a rising conservative figure.

"TPUSA breaks with traditional conservatives in nearly every possible way, yet they’ve managed to make themselves platform for up-and-coming political celebrities like Owens, who last month tweeted, “I truly believe that @realDonaldTrump isn’t just the leader of the free world, but the savior of it as well. May God bless America—the last stand for western civilization.” As a Christian, watching anyone use the word savior for anyone besides the son of God is frankly jarring."

OK if cartels have teams of people doing this, wouldn't it be easier to just have a boat make a port crossing at night? Wouldn't it be easier to do any number of other ways of doing it that have probably a lower chance of getting caught? What's easier, owning a private dock/bribing a dock worker to keep stuff silent or smuggling large number of people across a border constantly surveyed by drone and satellite?

Its far cheaper and you dont have to deal with coastguards but im sure they are using your proposed method of smuggling as well.
They ptobably have plains. They probably have tunnells. They probably use the mail. Im sure there are all types of ways that we cant even think of. Ita about doing everything we can to stop them and a fixed cost solution to one of the issues is extremely cost effective.
