As a rule, authorities seize no more than 10% of the overall volume, so that means another 3.8 tons of it most likely did get through

But blaming it entirely on Biden’s border policies is a conscious over-simplification of a much bigger problem.

The first part is a crappy framing that plays into the interpretation on the right. If only 10lbs were seized under Trump, that doesn’t mean that only 100lbs made it through. It really isn’t helpful to try to reason that the fractions are anywhere close to correct.
