The End of Title 42 Will Increase Soaring Fentanyl Deaths
New York Post ^ | December 17, 2022

Posted on 12/17/2022 8:11:23 PM PST by nickcarraway

President Biden’s border insanity isn’t just killing migrants and US law enforcement officers; it’s killing kids and destroying families via the massive inflow of drugs the White House has invited.

Title 42 — a Trump-era rule and one of the few brakes on our current massive migrant inflows — will expire this week. That’s going to supercharge illegal migration, and with it the deadly movement of fentanyl over our southern border.

The White House silence on this issue is deafening. Last week, a group of Republican lawmakers sent a blistering letter to the president demanding a meeting on the fentanyl crisis. The letter, signed by Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Chip Roy (R-Texas) and others, highlights the appalling fact that Biden has been playing dumb on a previous request sent in October (doubtless to avoid bad press before the midterms) and that more than an estimated 7,500 Americans have died from fentanyl-related causes in the intervening weeks.

the deep state WANTS americans to die from fentanyl. That’s what’s so insane. Why does the deep state hate their own countrymen so much? I would submit that it’s because they are satanic globalists.

Biden wants young Americans to die so they can be replaced with cheap labor.

Taking fentanyl or any non-prescribed drug is a CHOICE. Bad choices can have bad outcomes.

Fentanyl provides a public service; it culls the herd of undesirables.

As I see it, it’s a calculation that Satan would approve of.

Let X be the number of Democrats who will die from fentanyl.
Let Y be the number of illegals who will eventually vote Democrat.

The Democrat leadership has determined that Y will be greater than X.
Therefore, open the borders.

very callous. You never got drunk not even once? Many teens have no idea how dangerous this stuff is.

Yep. And they might not even know that they’re messing with fentanyl.
“Here, try this weed. It’s great.” Well, it’s great because it’s marijuana laced with fentanyl.

A 40-year-old might be wise enough to question what’s in the blunt. But a 20-year-old, not so much.

I say warn the potential users. Imprison the dealers. Hang the smugglers.
Singapore has got it right that last point.

How stupid are these teens you are speaking of? If they are that dumb, maybe it's just a matter of time before some other well-known danger (electricity, rat poison, etc.) takes them out.

I am 65. I can still remember reading the Milestones entry in Time magazine that reported on the death of Lenny Bruce. In that entry I saw the word "heroin" in print for the first time. I recall asking my mother how to pronounce it and what it meant. She explained opium and opium derivatives and gave me a clear sense that this was a very dangerous substance, something to avoid. I would have been 9 years old at the time. Nothing has ever changed my initial understanding of heroin, or the newer opioids that are being abused.

What in the world are kids being taught - or not being taught that makes them susceptible to even considering opioids?

Thats the most ugly, evil, demonic statement I’ve ever heard on FR, worthy of a hateful eugenicist like the “progressives” who cheer on abortion and euthanasia. Go on back to DU where you belong.

Fentanyl deaths……not a single person should care about fentanyl deaths

Worry about not being able to get into a hospital, get surgeries, get life saving care because the hospitals are overwhelmed.

YahooNews of all outlets…. https://news.yahoo.com/hospitals-stuck-illegal-immigrant-uninsured-permanent-patients-massive-223110870.html

I guess the people of Arizona forgot about this …. At an August 2009 healthcare Town Hall in Phoenix, legislators said that more than half of Arizona’s 4 billion dollar budget deficit was the result of paying for three areas of services to illegal immigrants: education, healthcare, and incarceration. https://aapsonline.org/illegal-immigration-healthcare-costs-affect-you-2/

13 years ago folks …. Illegal Immigration Raises Health Care Costs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CNP2igM90to

Joe Biden can do whatever he wants. At least with Obama, there were some checks on his powers. But I am not seeing that with Biden. Other than a bone from the SCOTUS with Roe vs Wade issue. To be honest with you, they did not do us favors with the timing because that may have motivated the Democrats to turn out their base and that may have saved the Senate for them.

Certainly looks that way.....then there's the extra potent fentanyl out there now and increasing.

Makes you wonder if you'll ever eat takeouts or in restaurants safely at the rate the border is allowing so many in.

> How stupid are these teens you are speaking of? <

Every teen is stupid. And every teen is susceptible to peer pressure. Some much more than others, of course. I cringe at the poor (and dangerous) decisions that I made when I was young. I bet you do, too.

This is not to excuse away those poor decisions. Once you reach the age of maturity, you are ultimately responsible for your own actions.

I’m not arguing that drug users are innocent victims, because they are not. Instead I’m arguing that the evil is not within them. It’s within the drug smugglers. Hang them, just like Singapore does.

Very well put. I agree with you 100%.

Is there a family in America NOT touched by this scourge of drugs?

Because this is being done for the drug cartels.

If only we had a leader with the courage to say it.

Yes, I got drunk. There were times I was stupid enough that did not know how I got home the previous night. And had I killed myself or others, it would have been on me.

I don't believe there are many kids over twelve who are not aware that drugs can be deadly. Everything I found was about age group 18-45. If the teen (13-17) deaths were substantial you bet they'd be commenting upon that too.

Progressive? Wrong. Progressives want straight and normal people dead. I want people to be normal and behave according to the laws of the land. If they kill themselves through their behavior, they’re cleaning up the gene pool.
