Statistics back up Trump's charge that illegals bring drugs: In Pinal County, Ariz., about 70 miles from the Mexican border, Sheriff Paul Babeu said marijuana seizures went from about 19,000 pounds in 2008 to more than 45,500 pounds in 2010. Babeu observed: "The Mexican drug cartels have almost toppled the Mexican government and they are crossing into Arizona at will. Pinal County has seen mass murders, execution-style slayings, sexual assaults, kidnappings, shootings, armed robberies, burglaries, and more — all tied to illegal immigration."
Again no stats to show that all the smuggling is done by illegals. US organized crime organizations control more of the illegal drug distribution in the United States than Mexican cartels.
There are indeed a lot of Mexicans involved in drug trafficking, but the amount of drugs purchased in the United States is a US problem instead of a Mexico problem.
And finally most of the drug traffic is carried out by people that go back and forth across the border, not the immigrants who come here to work.
