NY Lawmakers Introduce Bill To Curb Flood Of Mexican Heroin Into The State

Heroin peddled by Mexican drug cartels have flooded the Northeast – and unlike its predecessors from the 1980s, the drug is stronger, cheaper and purer. New York City has become the hub for the criminal enterprise and lawmakers in the state are putting forward a package of legislation that seeks to fight the resurgence of heroin. The bills, expected to become public on Monday, would toughen penalties for dealers, impose more funding for overdose-reversal drugs and increase insurance coverage for treatment. The proposed laws follow a series of forums that Senate Democrats held around the state on the sudden spread of the drug from New York City to sleepy upstate communities and Long Island suburbs. Experts told lawmakers that a crackdown on prescription drugs has pushed addicts to heroin, which is significantly cheaper and easier to obtain. Deaths from heroin overdoses in New York have doubled from 215 in 2008 to 478 in 2012, according to the state Health Department.

First of all heroin is not produced in Mexico. It is produced in Afghanistan, China, etc. The Muslim Brotherhood and other terrorist organization are funded by the heroin trade. Where is the DHS? Opiates have now become the leading cause of death surpassing alcohol and even car accidents. Big Pharma's political donations have turned the FDA into a campaign finance for favors machine, and the Fat Cat bankers and hedge fund managers who launder money for the cartels, act with impunity breaking US laws, but they still have the blood of American children on their hands. Holder's DEA is MIA, they even curiously gave the Mexican cartel's arsenals of weapons in the Fast and Furious scandal.

The Mexican Cartels might be bringing it in, but this doesn't happen without some level of complicity from high levels of government both in Mexico, and the US. Cheap, high quality, heroin means a large supply. The NSA that records every keystroke and conversation of law abiding citizens, seems much to focused on Merkel and the EU, instead of Venezuela, Mexico, China, and Africa, now the primary exporters of these drugs. 100 overdose deaths daily and the "drug legalization" efforts backed by Fat Cats are rampaging through our nation like a wildfire. All this while deaf and dumb Republicans are talking about "Immigration" and "amnesty". In South America issues like these were simply signs and symptoms of a Narco Nation. Meaning a nation who's government had been compromised and influenced by drug money.

How about the flood of Illegal Mexicans too? Oh sorry, we tried that here in AZ and Odumbo and Holders "Just Us" department shot it down.

They might want to run this law past Eric the Corrupt. He is dead set against having too many “minorities” in the criminal justice system.

And, of course, writing another law should help immensely (the brain child of the Ivy League lawyer mob).
