A new government report out Tuesday details how opioid trafficking in the United States has changed in recent years, with Mexico now a "dominant source" of the country's fentanyl supply and synthetic opioids rapidly saturating drug markets.
In its report, the federal Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking -- a bipartisan group of US lawmakers, experts and officials from federal departments and agencies -- warns that if the US does nothing to change its response to the new challenges, more American lives will be lost.
"This is one of our most-pressing national security, law enforcement, and public health challenges, and we must do more as a nation and a government to protect our most precious resource American lives," said Republican Sen.

But it is not a big enough problem to close the border to keep it out.
ABC is just now discovering this ?
It’s been common knowledge to regular folks ever since Brandon opened the borders completely.
The Biden Crime Family must be making a fortune with this. Open borders, free flow of fentanyl, free cash flow to the Bidens.
The reports from FR have been stating that the source is CHINA. It just happens to be pouring across the Mexican border.
Blame Mexico and China gets a pass!
Hilarious. When Trump called out the problem at the boarder when he was candidate Trump, people were shocked, shocked I tell you.
These asshats can’t do anything unless it takes a lot of time and money to reach a conclusion.
never mind all those documentaries showing Mexican cartels stating the raw ingredients come from China.
By design to kill off Americans.

We should be demanding from our political leaders that non-Chinese economic incentives (if not purely pro-American ones) should be the focus. We are far too dependent on them for everything...plus their Fentanyl.
It is a shame that the border wall was never completed. The military, under Title 32, should have been sent to the border.
That’s a relief. For a minute there I thought China might be involved in it.
The necessary ingredients are made in Mainland China, shipped to the Mexican-based Peoples Armed Police cartels who sells the stuff to the Mexican cartels
Imported into Mexico From our good friends in China.
They’re more concerned about stopping Ivermectin from coming into the country.
Another reason they hated Trump. He wanted to stop the free flow of drugs.
What did he do to stop it?
And they mean it...regardless of who you are.The DP is *mandatory* if you're found with more than "X" amount of certain drugs.
I want that same thing here.You're caught with a large amount of heroin,meth,etc you're put down.
FINISH BUILDING THE WALL!
