Or is Trudeau just entering Trump's kabuki theater performance?

Opposed to 10,000 plus pounds from Mexico, vastly by way of American smugglers from both.
This info is from two separate sources on Free Speech TV and Progressive Radio on Sirius.

I suspect smuggling is done by entities experienced at moving goods. Contraband being just a special category of physical goods. And it's a business for entities with big money to finance the operation. Small potatoes wouldn't be able to put it together.

If they make the system airtight, only those with inside knowledge of how the computer systems work will have knowledge to try to escape detection.

Recall Delorean's smuggling case. He beat it by claiming entrapment. Supposedly he needed cash to prevent Delorean Motors from going under.
