They also employ buses, cargo trains and tunnels, the report says, citing other smuggling methods that also would not be choked off by a border wall. Trump recently denied that traffickers use entry ports at the southern border, contradicting the evidence and assertions of his drug enforcement personnel. Trump stretched credulity even more by comparing the wall money he wants from Congress to the cost of the entire drug problem in the U.S.: “The border wall would very quickly pay for itself. Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion for his border wall is one reason for the budget impasse. It strains public resources and drives down jobs and wages.”THE FACTS: The U.S. is not experiencing “uncontrolled” illegal immigration.
