How do most illegal drugs enter the United States?

How do most illegal drugs enter the United States?

I recently read about a Gulfstream plane that just crashed in Mexico in rout to Fl. Lauderdale with 4.4 tons of cocaine . . . and apparently the CIA has chartered this plane in the past.

kind of a weird story and not sure if to believe, but that brings up my question. how does most of the illegal drugs get across the borders? Land, Sea or Air?

How drugs enter the US depend on the drug. The DEA estimates that 90% of Marijuana comes in from Mexico, while Cuba is the big importer of Cocaine, and Chinese mafia accounts for most drugs such a GHB.

Here is the DEA's reports on smuggling (and people do find new and interesting ways everyday)
