Nine pounds, enough to kill 200,000 people??
I’m not up on the latest illegal drugs what is fentanyl?
Powerful opioid pain killer. 75 times more powerful than Morphine.
Did you notice all the mules were under 18 ??? The narcos know how to exploit our laws ...
I would think most smugglers and traffickers get in and this is an anomaly. Our border security is a national security issue that is priority one. It is incalculable what Obama did for eight years in harming this country specifically with neglect of our border. The wall and full support for the wall needs to be done.
Get some rope.
My bet: Mexican “Dreamer” & American Anchor-Baby
So... These creepozoids are just the preliminary front of the ‘caravan’ of ‘refugees.’ Consider them the ‘trial runs’ of the narco-trafficantes. ABCCBSNBCMSNBCNPR will say it is America’s fault these ‘poor’ children have to be used this way.
Can a minor freely just cross from one country into another nation state?
If so, why is it allowed?
14 pounds.
Deadly, too?
Yes, fentanyl is now being mixed with cocaine. A death sentence.
p
I guess Teens now has been expanded to include Mexicans and Central Ams.
A sure addiction cure,
