Ann Coulter–Heroin: Blame It on America
Breitbart News ^ | 3 Feb 2016 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 02/03/2016 4:20:20 PM PST by george76

Any politician who claims to care about the drug overdose deaths sweeping the nation, but does not demand that we build a wall, deport illegal aliens and end the anchor baby scam, is a liar.

In 2014, more people died from drug overdoses than any year in U.S. history: 47,055. That's more than die in car accidents -- and it's not even close.

This is a huge, horrible problem -- and it's a problem caused entirely by the fact that Mexico is on our southern border.

The diverse, hardworking people of Mexico manufacture the majority of heroin in the U.S. and import "nearly all" of it, according to a 2014 Washington Post report.

The media and political class respond to this fact by asking themselves: How do we blame this on Americans -- preferably white males?

...

About the time President Bush threw open our southern border -- followed by Obama rolling out the welcome mat for illegal aliens -- Mexico aggressively moved into the heroin business. In 2007, U.S. authorities seized 367 kilos of heroin on the Mexican border. In 2013, authorities seized 2,162 kilos. During that same time period, heroin use nearly doubled in the U.S.

As a result, in the last decade, half a million Americans have died from drug overdoses, mostly heroin and other opiates. That's ten times more than the number of Americans who died fighting the entire Vietnam War.

Mexico is pumping drugs into our country, but to blame Mexicans would be "xenophobic." They're poor and brown! We can't blame the Mexican drug cartels, and we certainly can't blame the corrupt Mexican government that is paid off by the cartels.

She’s RIGHT here.

She’s right about A LOT of stuff.

I hated Romney too, but we have to quit hanging that on Ann a million times.

She is ON OUR SIDE.

I put part of the blame on doctors who prescribe powerful narcotics to too many patients. It gets people hooked and then they turn to cheaper heroin to get their fix.

Leave it to Ann to provide important information, that the MSM ignores.

Whereas I agree with her point, No one has to buy it or use it.

Drug sales and the WOD has become a huge cottage industry and trust me when I say the gov’t absolutely does not want to win the WOD.

Annie is getting shrill again.

No doubt there is a problem.
When will a single politician call out the MEXICAN Gov?

Trump essentially has called out Mexican gangs.

I did not read the article. I used to read and enjoy and learn from all of them.

Then, recently, Ms Coulter took a political position with which I do not agree. She endorsed Mister Trump (no big deal) then chose to go all in w hyperbolic and nonsensical "support" that would have made Gracie Allen's shtick seem logical.

Maybe some day Ann will realize her multiple errors (as she did with Obama-hugging Christie.)

What proportion of those overdoses are for PRESCRIPTION pain killers?

Docs kill more than guns.

There is a literal army of Feds, cops and sheriffs who’s financial livelihood depends on illegal drugs. Why would they ever want to win the WOD?

We need the death penalty for drug dealers.

Obama is pardoning them and putting them back on the street.

Jane’s Addiction said it first, “the gangs and the government are no different”
