Canada can't expect free trade while leaving our northern border vulnerable

[FOX] Cartels have shifted north and US seized enough fentanyl to kill 17 million Americans in the past year

The longest international border in the world has a security problem, and Canada is not treating it with the urgency it deserves.

Recently, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin laid out a sobering picture of how people from 78 nations have been apprehended crossing the northern border. U.S. agents are now arresting a terrorist on the watch list nearly every week at the northern border, and over the past year alone, enough fentanyl to kill 17 million Americans has been seized coming through Canada. Cartels, squeezed by the intensified enforcement operations and physical infrastructure along our southern border, are pivoting north.

Federal prosecutors have unsealed a string of recent cases documenting organized smuggling networks operating directly through the northern border. They are the front edge of a corridor that cartels and transnational criminal organizations are actively developing.

Chad F. Wolf served as acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security during President Trump’s first term.
