A wall just won't have any impact on the methods that we currently know, through which drugs are coming into the country.
Picture this: a border wall that promises to end the drug crisis. Sounds simple, right? Not so fast, says Nicole Lewis, a reporter for the Washington Post Fact Checker feature. In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, host Greg McNeil sits down with Nicole to unravel the complexities behind President Trump's bold claim that a border wall would stop drugs from pouring into the United States.
Nicole brings a wealth of research and reporting to the table, making it clear that the issue is far more intricate than it appears. She firmly states, 'A wall won’t stop them – flat out, wrong'. Through their conversation, you'll get a front-row seat to the various smuggling techniques that render a border wall ineffective. From underground tunnels to high-tech drones, drug traffickers have an arsenal of methods that a wall simply can't block.
But it's not just about debunking myths. The episode also dives into real solutions that can make a difference in the opioid crisis. Nicole and Greg discuss the importance of education and resources for opioid addiction, offering listeners actionable insights to better support those struggling with addiction. If you're looking for a nuanced take on a hot-button issue, this episode is for you.
It's not just about challenging political claims; it's about understanding the bigger picture and finding effective ways to combat opioid addiction. Tune in to get informed and join the conversation on how we can truly address this pressing issue.
