RIVERSIDE COUNTY, California — Four times as much fentanyl is flowing across the United States-Mexico border under President Joe Biden compared to two years prior when former President Trump was in office.
During the launch of Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Ken Calvert’s (R-CA) congressional caucus dedicated to the fentanyl crisis, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Mark Dunbar of the Murrieta Station in southern California noted that the level of fentanyl seizures has skyrocketed in the last year.
“Across sectors, we’re seeing the amount of fentanyl coming across the border almost doubling,” Dunbar said. “What we’re seeing coming across is equal to the amount of Americans who are dying from it in the U.S.”
In Fiscal Year 2019, about 2,800 pounds of fentanyl was seized at the border. The following year, that figure capped out at 4,800 pounds of fentanyl seized. By Fiscal Year 2021, which represents most of Biden’s first year in office, fentanyl seizures skyrocketed to about 11,200 pounds.
Already, in Fiscal Year 2022 that began October 1, 2021, about 5,300 pounds of fentanyl has been seized at the border.
The figures indicate that fentanyl seizures under Biden, last year alone, have quadrupled since Fiscal Year 2019 when Trump was in office.
As Dunbar noted, fentanyl is primarily flown into Mexico from China before the Mexican drug cartels then traffic large quantities across the southern border. Only a fraction of the fentanyl trafficked across the border is seized by the Department of Homeland Security.
“For cartels, it is all about making money,” Dunbar said.

It is OK because they are all kicking in 10% for the big guy.
10% for the Big Guy.
Democrats love their recreational pharmaceuticals. That is the real reason for the open border.
For the cartels, it’s all about money. For China, it’s all about destroying the United States. For the Biden operatives ... well, they’re with the Chinese on this.
It’s what they want.
Its all about stealing elections for Democrats. Millions of illegals will force adjustments to districts allowing for more votes in the House of Representatives. Turning red districts blue. What a horrible and shameful President. WORST in history and he doesn’t care about Fentaynl deaths or other diseases coming across the border.
Doesn’t China manufacture about 90% of our pharma drugs?
What does a democrat president have to do to be impeached in this country? Why are we letting this lawlessness continue under Biden/Obama?
Well, now I want some Fentanyl. Fentanyl for everyone except, apparently, for me. :[ Why can’t I have Fentanyl? I won’t be greedy!
Yep. Maybe soon you’ll get a statin with fentanyl…
It’s easier to purchase Fentanyl than Ivermectin.......................Think about THAT for a minute...............
Every time I see an idiot with a Biden sticker on their car I have the urge to puncture their tires....................
As planned…
From the CDC:
“Fentanyl and other synthetic opioids are the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths.1 Even in small doses, it can be deadly. Over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl.”
Likely does not include traffic deaths and other deaths where drug use contributed.
But PSaki cries for the FLA children who can’t get sex ed in kindergarten.
Lucking funatics.
This is just another way that China’s is destroying our nation.
