Why in Arizona as opposed to Texas? Most of the dramatic footage you see of people crossing the Rio Grande, tens of thousands of people in giant caravans, that's happening in Texas. The answer is, because the Tucson sector, which is where we are right now, is actually one of the top sites in the nation, not only for illegal immigration, it is the number one site for fentanyl trafficking across the border.

How much fentanyl is crossing our southern border? The answer is, we actually don't know. In 2023, there were 27, 000 pounds of fentanyl seized at the border, according to Border Patrol statistics. Over the course of fiscal year 2023, the authorities seized 850 percent more fentanyl compared with 2019. 35 min. [Video at link: [partial transcript below.]

In 2021 alone, the drug cartels made 13 billion dollars from human trafficking and smuggling, but fentanyl is way more profitable than human beings. 10 kilos of 22 pounds, that's worth 20 million dollars trafficked in the United States.

HIAC. They simply can not resist. There are over 20 Jewish NGOs doing the devil’s work. And the entire boards of directors for some catholic charities shipping enemy agents all over the country are exclusively jewish.
