Cartels Push Huge Amounts of Meth, Fentanyl Into US
The Epoch Times ^ | 03/04/20

Posted on 03/05/2020 5:32:26 AM PST by Liberty7732

If drugs aren’t stopped along the U.S.–Mexico border in Arizona’s remote desert, chances are, a large proportion will end up traveling through Pinal County on its way to Phoenix, a major trafficking hub.

Around 40 percent of illicit drugs enter the United States through Arizona, said Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

Hard narcotics—such as heroin, methamphetamines, and fentanyl—are usually hidden in vehicles and driven through one of Arizona’s seven ports of entry along its border, while marijuana has traditionally been backpacked through the desert between border crossings.

In the past few years, Mexican drug cartels have been flooding the United States with methamphetamines and fentanyl, driving the supply so hard and dropping the price so low that it pushes up addiction rates and the market then demands more drugs.

The latter is probably from China.

You may want to send this to the Democrats in congress who are derelict in the sworn duty to protect the citizens of the United States. Elitist fools all! Instead of trying to get rid of President Trump they might try to do their job!

Advocates of global free trade and open unrestricted borders are not at fault.

It’s that Trump guy again!

No no no! You’re just a racist who wants to make a boogeyman out of crimes and drugs in order to attack innocent migrants, members of our wonderful world without borders and hate. There are no drugs or repeat criminals getting let go. Here, have a flower.

Excellent idea except they will just make more.

Watch “Narcos, Mexico” on Netflix. Sobering story about the roots of Mexican drug cartels.

I wonder where they are getting the fentanyl from. China’s not shipping it these days.

You've got me figure out, all right.

But there's hope for the world.

When I asked my 6th grader what a social justice warrior is, she said: "It's someone who's like, 'I'm going to give my children aromatherapy and not vaccines.'"

When I asked her brother, he replied, "A nut!" and later, "A lunatic!"

When I asked my boy if it's cool to be a social justice warrior, he replied: Actually, it's kinda cool to trash on those kinds of people.

On another day, he said: "The only teachers in my school who don't try to tell us what to think are Republicans." When asked how many teachers that was, he said: "Two."

And these are grammar school children in the US public schools, aka the indoctrination centers.

Put up towers every 200 yards and 200 yards back from the border and give everyone a chance to for ‘unlimited kills’.

I sat death to all drug traffickers...first offense.In fact,I'd be willing to turn the other way if cops were to,upon catching a trafficker (of any nationality),shoot him/her in the back of the head.

Why do I take that attitude? Simple. A few years ago we were lucky enough to visit several national parks in Kenya.From our 'base" in Nairobi it was a long,long drive to and from the parks.During those long rides I got to talk at length to our guide,James...a great guy.

Long story short he said during his lengthy comments about poaching (rhinos,elephants,etc) that the Kenyan government's policy when park rangers encounter one is 'shoot to kill".No negotiations...no attempts to arrest...just shoot them.

Drug traffickers cause at least as much damage to this country as poachers cause to Kenya.

That’s the beauty of it though. Most of them know it when they see it, and most of them aren’t dumb or brave enough to open their mouths in class, they resent it.

... and the ones who don’t realize how much they are being programmed... well, those are the ones who will rebel later when the light bulb turns on.

The irony of it all is that those indoctrinators very often try to portray the other side as those who you can’t trust, as if if it’s not a conspiracy against children’s hearts and minds not to simply state facts and ask questions and let them work the world out for themselves.
