| Trump should expand his border crackdown. Timing is perfect to rein in Canada and Mexico |
| 2026-06-17 |
| [FoxNews] The Trump administration has wisely recognized that national security and trade are inherently intertwined. If our trade partners to the north and south cannot or will not secure their side of the fence against fentanyl precursors, human smuggling and illicit trade that undercuts American workers, they cannot expect a seamless path into the American market. It’s that simple. The northern border, in particular, has become a sieve for organized crime. While the world watches the Rio Grande, cartels and Chinese state-linked actors have found a more polite entry point through our northern neighbor. Billions of dollars in illicit products are being transshipped through Canada, bypassing standard inspections and gutting the U.S. economy. Of course, current trade data doesn't account for these shadow economies draining the American treasury. We need a dedicated task force focused entirely on dismantling these smuggling pipelines and holding Canada responsible for its lax policies. National security demands that we stop treating trade agreements as static documents and start using them as active tools for law enforcement. |
