It’s A Sieve … Why?

From The Guardian on 9/14/22

“A teenage girl at a Hollywood high school died on Tuesday, 9/13, and another was hospitalized, after taking what police believe were counterfeit pills filled with fentanyl.

The incident, which is being investigated as a homicide by Los Angeles police, comes as federal officials announced new national counts of overdose deaths, showing nearly 200 people in the US are dying each day due to overdoses of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.

Since 2019 the US has seen a huge surge in teen overdose deaths, as a flood of counterfeit pills, which look like normal oxycodone, Percocet or Xanax tablets but actually contain fentanyl, have hit the black market.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid so potent that one counterfeit pill can prove fatal. Vast quantities of these fake pills are being smuggled into the US and are circulating in the illicit drug market, meaning that teens often ingest the deadly drug unknowingly.”

Sit down and reread the above paragraph … nearly 200 deaths a day due to opioids, mainly fentanyl! OMG! Drug deaths are still near the highest levels ever recorded, with synthetic opioids including fentanyl being by far the nation’s most deadly drugs.

Where is all this fentanyl coming from? … Duh!! … It is coming across our southern border.

From Border Report 8/21/22:

“According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures, officers with the agency’s Office of Field Operations seized approximately 1,800 pounds of fentanyl in July, while U.S. Border Patrol agents who guard the vast border areas between ports of entry seized about 340 pounds.

The amount of fentanyl seized by CBP personnel had fallen for two consecutive months before spiking from 700 pounds in June to 2,100 in July.”

And August does not appear to be any different. 

“From U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement:

U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested two U.S. citizens and seized 340 packages of fentanyl pills near Gila Bend, Arizona, early evening on Wednesday, 8/24/22. These 340 packages of fentanyl pills weighing a grand total of 187 pounds and was worth an estimated $4.3 million.”

Can somebody please explain to me why when our border is obviously a sieve with fentanyl pouring across daily, our President and Vice President continue to try to gaslight us by saying the border is secure?

This leads to a further question … Do Joe Biden and Kamala Harris bear a moral responsibility here. Note that I said, a moral responsibility. It appears that innocent people are dying from fentanyl, and yet they continue to ignore the fentanyl-unsecure border-problem. Could it be that they feel that those who use drugs don’t matter, and so if they die … que sera, sera (what will be, will be)? And if they think that way, what would they tell the parents of that now deceased Hollywood teenager? Hmmm
