Biden’s open border policy has encouraged notorious drug cartels to flood America with fentanyl and other deadly substances in the market.
Mexican drug cartels are the leaders in fentanyl production. As of December last year, border agents recovered at least 12,245 kilograms of illicit fentanyl at the southern border.
Fentanyl, a lethal synthetic opioid a lot stronger than heroin, was the biggest killer of Americans in 2023. This substance has led to the death of more than 112,000 people, most of whom were young people and people of color.
Drug policy experts raised alarm with the enormity of the drug crisis the country is now facing.
Louise Vincent, a harm reduction activist in North Carolina, described one community entirely swept by fentanyl addiction.
Vincent shared on NPR, “We do have fentanyl that’s dangerous, we have xylazine that’s poison.”
“We’ve had an entire community swept away. I can’t even think of all the people I know who have died. My daughter died. Our mentors are dead. It is so dangerous right now.”
Chemicals used in fentanyl production come from China, are produced in Mexico, and then smuggled into the United States.
According to Anne Milgram, head of the US Drug Enforcement Administration, “Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered.”
Under President Joe Biden, fentanyl-related deaths have increased dramatically to 94 percent since 2019.
Combinations of such opioids also emerged, such as Xylazine, a chemical used in horse tranquilizers and other novel opioids.
Despite the threat and its grave impact on Americans, the Biden administration continues to ignore big cities across the United States that are turning into zombie wastelands.
Gavin Newsom’s California openly sells drugs in broad daylight. Just in San Francisco, at least 813 reportedly died of fentanyl drug overdose, a 300 percent increase since 2017. These deaths are largely concentrated in Tenderloin and South of Market, the neighborhoods where most low-income individuals reside.
Images on social media show how users shoot up drugs publicly in the open air while kids walk past them. Dealers even sell drugs right outside the Federal Courthouse.
Another example is Kensington, Philadelphia, which has gained popularity for its “tranq tourism.” The neighborhood was littered with needles, people slumped in gutters, and walls, blinking and staring blankly. Residents walk through syringes, human feces, and people who are trading drugs, and consuming drugs out in the open. Recently, healthcare workers also noted xylazine users are popping up with wounds, and passing out.
In Brownsville, Texas huge bundles of narcotics are just thrown by smugglers over the wall without any interference while students watch the incident casually.
All these effects, but Biden insists that the US sends billions of dollars to Ukraine, refuses to close the border, and denies there is a crisis in the border.
Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas continues to refuse accountability for the crisis and deflect the damage upon Republicans.
