Remember Milei's plan to depopulate the border regions by removing subsidies from remote provinces? The result will be exponentially more than this minor 200kg coke haul.

This article from La Nacion might help explain (Spoiler: it's not a fence to keep people out, it's a fence to funnel people in.)
