Border crisis is killing Americans, statistics reveal DEA has identified fentanyl as 'primary driver' of record 92,183 OD deaths in 2020

The drugs flowing over the border are leading to an uptick in fentanyl deaths, and experts are split about how to solve it.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency has called fentanyl the “primary driver” of the record 92,183 drug overdose deaths in 2020. Many drug dealers use fentanyl to make money and smuggle it through the southern border mixed with other drugs like heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine to make them more potent — and more deadly — according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

“Look, everyone needs to understand drug cartels are vicious, they’re violent and it’s all about the dollar bill. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2021 or 2020 or 2016, drug cartels are going to get their drugs across our border,” Houston Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Daniel Comeaux previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The trafficking of fentanyl has gotten even worse in 2021. Border officials seized nearly 2,400 more pounds of fentanyl from January to April 2021 than during the same period in 2020.

What? There's been a breach at the border allowing more and more fentanyl to come in? As far as the 92,183 ODs, did they include saint george in that count? But, relative to all the gun deaths and daily mass shootings, we know where the attention will be. Freakin' loonyville topsy turvey BS these days. But meanwhile in CONgress, the important thing is to pass the buhzillon dollar infrastructure legislation asap.

I wonder if the JO&Ho show are trying to show the UN how well they can do Population Control.

Yeah, not sure the timing required once eveyone has the CONvid one9 vax on board. Infertility and still births numbers could be interesting. Remember gates and pals numbers world wide is around 500 million. Anything over that and we’ll kill muvver erf. Sheer lunacy.

It won’t matter until a democRAT senator or congressman-or whatever is directly affected. i.e. butchered/murdered by an MS13 gang member.

Can’t be. FR’s own dope peddlers (aka, liberTardians) insist it’s all harmless. As they do open borders. Abortion. Prostitution. Pedophelia. Faggism. Etc. (All under the false banner of “liberty.”)

If someone is stupid enough to knowingly and willingly use fentanyl and it subsequently kills them...oh well.

I confess to being conflicted. The criminal activity due to Fetanyl is concerning. Ridding ourselves of over 92,000 junkies is not.

Let’s all thank China for sending all that Fentanyl to Mexico so they can ship it to us.
