Most of the drugs entering the US come in from Mexico. If the US really wants to stop drugs coming into the US, every car and truck should be x-rayed before being allowed to cross the border. Of course it would delay traffic, but more drugs could be found and confiscated. It will also mess up products coming in from our trading partner, but if Mexico won't do its part then the US should.
