A 400% increase in the number of encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border between 2020 and 2021 should signal a crisis. But the Biden administration continues to ignore the obvious – and Mexican drug cartels are reaping great benefits.
Fox News reported on Thursday that according to new data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the total weight of fentanyl seized at the border in the first three months of 2021 amounted to a 233% increase from the same period one year ago. The deadly synthetic opioid is considered to be 50-100 times more powerful than morphine and kills tens of thousands of Americans each year – facts emphasized by Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-California), the House minority leader.

(CNSNews.com) – It is a dangerous game of opioid whack-a-mole: When authorities crack down on the illicit flow of one drug from Mexico into the United States, another even more dangerous substance seems to surface.
“In the last twelve months, I have seen a number of overdose cases, where the person isn’t responding at all to the Naloxone, which made us realize this wasn’t fentanyl,” noted a northern California-based anti-drug campaigner, referring to the emergency nasal spray for suspected overdoses of the powerful synthetic opioid.
