Prosecutors and defense lawyers say Haley’s story is typical; the vast majority of illicit fentanyl — close to 90% — is seized at official border crossings. Immigration authorities say nearly all of that is smuggled by people who are legally authorized to cross the border, and more than half by U.S. citizens like Haley. Virtually none is seized from migrants seeking asylum.

    The people saying asylum seekers are brining drugs don’t care about the facts. This is just the same old racist shit people have been doing for decades. They claim immigrants bring drug, crime, and disease. When, in actuality, most of the folks seeking asylum are fleeing that shit.
