The Open-Border policies of the Democratic Party have been a total disaster for the country, and the massive flow of deadly fentanyl into the country may be the worst result of all! We must work to elect a conservative Congress to force the Biden administration to finally have a policy that will actually enforce our southern border! As Lisa McClain says, it is time to get everyone “to admit that our borders are open, our laws are going unenforced, and the worst people in the world are getting rich off the destruction of our nation and our youth.”
“It takes just two milligrams of fentanyl to kill an adult male. In this year alone, the Border Patrol has already seized over 10,600 pounds of this illicit drug – which means that there was enough fentanyl smuggled into the country to kill every single American roughly seven times over…
If it is not clear already, we are facing a massive fentanyl epidemic. This drug has become the nation’s number one killer of adults between the ages of 18 and 45. Fentanyl overdoses surpass car accidents, violent crimes and suicides.
American are justifiably asking their elected representatives how things got so bad. How did this crisis start and where is fentanyl coming from? In two words: the border.
The sad reality is that our own government started and worsened this crisis by failing to protect our nation’s borders. When President Biden opened our southern border and put out the welcome mat for anyone to come into the United States, he gave the Mexican cartels the historic and profitable opportunity to smuggle waves of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs…
With their new ability to manufacture fentanyl, the cartels have garnered massive profits from smuggling it across the border. That means they have more money to ramp up production and flood our country with even more fentanyl than before. And the data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows the massive, deadly spike is already happening.
If we truly want to curb the fentanyl crisis and protect our nation from a drug that is 50 to 100 times more lethal than morphine, we must permanently secure our southern border. It is crucial that we finish the full wall and give border patrol agents all the resources they need to combat the cartels.
We must also enhance our technological capabilities so officers can track and catch fentanyl smugglers immediately while increasing criminal penalties on these merchants of death.
But most of all, we need the White House to admit there is an ever-worsening crisis, instead of deflecting on the issue.”
