Transnational criminal organizations in Mexico have also been responsible for bringing the illegal drug into the U.S.
Mexican officials, working with the DEA, have ended the production of counterfeit fentanyl-laced pills at multiple locations since 2018.
The Sinaloa and the New Generation Jalisco cartels are likely the primary groups responsible for bringing fentanyl into the U.S. from Mexico, according to the DEA. The cartels controlled areas where fentanyl production happened.
Drug smuggling happens across the U.S.-Mexico border and across “trafficking corridors in Mexico that connect to California and Arizona,” which these organizations control according to the DEA.
Maybe the head of Homeland Security should get his head out of his @ss and do something about this. Oh wait that would cut into Hunter Biden’s income source
It comes into Mexico from China...China is the source of that poison.
The components to make fentanyl come from China. Once they get to Mexico, they are combined to make the drug. It all starts in China.
Where does fentanyl come from? Same place as all the other stuff we buy from Amazon and Walmart. From our great trade partner.
KTLA needs to talk to KCRA in Sacramento because they are fine with everything the leftists offer up including open borders and the associated fentanyl.
China. Payback for Opium War, Gunboat diplomacy.
Ultimately it comes from the democrat party, regardless of physical origin.
Without American junkies, it wouldn’t matter where it came from.
China is using the strategy against us that England used against them over a hundred years ago. It caused the “Opium Wars.”
I keep hearing we caught enough Fentnyl to kill 300 million Americans. Or whatever.
Doesn’t that seem like a LOT of drugs?
I mean if only 1 million are taking it, and it can kill 300 million... wouldn’t that mean we have a supply for the druggies that should last 100 years?
WTF??
It means the Chinese via Mexico already have the equivalent of nuclear bombs already in place for much of the USA.
Close the border NOW!
Closing the Border is not happening as long as the Republicans and Democrats are in charge, President Trump tried that ans both Political Parties, the Republicans and Democrats fought him tooth and toenail on that. And eventually executed a Coup to replace him with Lying Joe Biden.
China and some from India
It could be stopped
Unless you cross the CCP their free enterprise system is actually freer than ours
Less regs
Much looser capital
They love for you to employ more drones from the hive
Just don’t stir up shite with anti govt talk or compete with things they have their fingers in or if you do you share with them or their cousin like the Biden crime family would
Its sorta like Nazi Germany
Authoritarian overlords at top as govt
Private ownership and free enterprise below
Except the titans of Nazi germany biz were often party members
China not so much
I doubt many here know this
Doubt it. Corruption.
I believe I have had a realization of exactly how my premise could be carried out.
It is so simple I literally fear to explain for fear that some nut or foreign agent would hear and do it.
I do not believe I was exaggerating.
If anything of the sort happens Bidet’ and his enablers will have the deaths of thousands on their hands.
Clarification, thousands in a single incident.
They already kill thousands singly and in small groups.
The Politicians of both Parties do not want it stopped, My FRiend. They are making too much money from it under the table. They only give lip service to their sheep that wish to stop it. If they were sincere about desiring to stop it. It would be stopped within a week.
