FACT: There is no appreciable difference between an Open Border and the current Fentanyl Crisis.
I say throw the bums out.
The BUMS are everyone involved in the fentanyl crisis that’s killing Americans. Worse than bums, really. They are reprobates without a conscience, morality, or a shred of human decency.
Americans today are most concerned with inflation, energy, crime and the border.
Inflation: At record levels. Families and lower income suffer the most.
Energy: We are now an energy-dependent nation and all energy prices are sky-rocketing. Shortages loom. Already happening in some areas of our country.
Crime: Crime is at an all-time high. Criminals break the law with impunity. Cashless bail laws in several states means criminals are released are back on the streets to commit the same crimes hours later. These include assault and murder.
The United States border: Non-existent.
The result of a non-existent border is that millions of illegal aliens are coming across – 5.5 million of them in the last two years – many of them un-vetted, and bringing fentanyl with them. Millions of doses of this high potency drug are being smuggled across our border weekly… and killing Americans.
Between February of 2021 and February of 2022 the CDC Reported 108,000 drug deaths in this country. Seventy percent of them are Fentanyl poisonings.
Do the math. There are 207 people a day who dying from fentanyl.
Someone recently equated that to an airliner crashing every day in this country. Our nation wouldn’t put up with that. Why is it putting up with fentanyl?
It shouldn’t be, but the people in charge of our country are doing nothing. Joe Biden started this problem by campaigning for an open border. He opened the border as soon as he got into office. Now, much of the world is trying to get in. And many are bringing fentanyl with them.
The BUMS – criminal conspirators – are the manufacturers, the dealers, the runners and the countries involved in this criminal empire.
The manufacturers are China, India and Mexico. The dealers are the gangs. The runners are the illegal aliens smuggling it across.
But the most culpable are the politicians and an Administration that refuses to do anything in the face of carnage – more than 200 people a day dying from fentanyl poisonings.
It’s not OVERDOSE. It’s way beyond that. The fentanyl is being turned into counterfeit drugs that often loos just like oxycodone, Xanax, Adderall. People think they’re getting one thing and they get another. And they die.
The DEA calls this the single deadliest drug threat to the nation – EVER.
Part of this is because fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and100 times stronger than morphine. Just 2 milligrams is fatal.
How much is 2 milligrams? Not much. Grab a saltshaker and sprinkle 10-12 grains of salt into your hand. That’s about 2 milligrams.
Fentanyl is the number one cause of death among Americans age 18 to 45. That’s more than COVID-19, suicide and car accidents.
And you can lay every one of those deaths at Joe Biden’s feet… and members of his administration like Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Myorkas, who seems concerned about anything but security.
Biden, Myorkas and others have been absolutely silent on the border issue, or have flat out lied about it. Vice President Harris simply cackled about it.
Much of the mainstream news media is also culpable, for not informing the American public. For the major legacy networks it’s been “nothing to see here folks, move along,” if they give it that much coverage.
In the 2 years Biden’s had the border open, 5.5 million illegal aliens have come across and millions of lethal doses of fentanyl.
THIS IS A WAR ON AMERICA …
The total impact on the US is astounding…
We’re averaging 207 fentanyl poisonings a day in our country. That’s devastating American families. Think of all the people each day that find out a loved one has died for NO REASON.
Millions of illegal aliens are flooding into the country – often un-vetted - ending up who-knows-where to do who-knows-what. Many will may be law abiding. Others will not be. All will be a drain on our economy, our institutions, especially social nets, and, of course, the ultimate payer, U.S. taxpayers.
Law enforcement will suffer wear and tear or destruction of their budgets and other resources, but especially their officers, who are overworked and demoralized, particularly border patrol agents.
Local budgets along the border are being decimated because US towns and cities along the border haven’t the budget to handle so many illegal migrants. The same will become true as illegal aliens spread from the border throughout the 50 states.
We do not know who these people are. Are any of them terrorists? Yes. Last fiscal year 98 individuals on the terrorist watch list were apprehended, including 20 in September. Who knows how many managed to get across as “got-aways,” alluding capture? Add to that the fact that not all illegals who are crossing are from Mexico and Central America. They are arriving from as many – by some counts – as140 countries including terrorist hotbeds like Somalia and Yemen, as well as China, Russia, Pakistan and other nations.
Drug overdoses – poisonings – aren’t the only problem fentanyl presents.
Fentanyl can and has been weaponized. The Russian army used it to end a hostage crisis two decades ago by turning it into an aerosol and sprayed a theatre. They did not realize fentanyl was as potent as it is, and ended up very effectively killing more than 120 hostages in the process.
If this is a WAR ON AMERICA with a chemical that can be WEAPONIZED, the U.S. needs to classify fentanyl as a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION (WMD) – and – in effect - declare war back. It also needs to classify ANYONE INVOLVED with illegal fentanyl as a TERRORIST.
Declaring fentanyl a WMD is not a new idea. Eighteen state attorneys general recently sent a letter to the Biden administration asking the President to do just that: declare fentanyl a WMD and, if he thought he did not have the power, to urge Congress to pass legislation doing so.
Designating fentanyl a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) would require the Department of Homeland Security and DEA to coordinate with other agencies, including the Defense Department. That would lead to new ways to curb the fentanyl problem. With the U.S. military now involved, American could smile diplomatically while showing our teeth.
That’s what I’d do if I were Dictator for a Day.
I would also:
Close the border.
Finish the wall.
Hire more Border Patrol Officers in lieu of 87,000 new IRS agents.
And hit the culprits in their pocket books.
Put CHINA on notice that if the manufacture and shipping of fentanyl ingredients doesn’t stop, we start ratcheting up and adding more tariffs on Chinese-made goods.
Do the same with Mexico. Cut back or stop importing goods from Mexico.
Tell Mexico some of the people within your borders are trafficking a WMD. Either you take care of the culprits or we will. We will be nice. We will offer to help, but it must be done.
With 200 plus deaths a day in this country we can’t make any bones about this.
I’d make it very clear that we have the resources we need to win the battle and that we absolutely intend to… by peaceful means or other, overt or clandestine. But we will win.
This is a WAR. We’re currently on the losing side.
CHINA’s not our friend. We got COVID-19 from them. Fentanyl. They’re also intellectual property thieves.
Mexico’s not helping, but could. We need a carrot-on-a-stick approach. If we can stop the ingress of fentanyl, I believe Mexico could be an even better trade partner than it is.
There is no appreciable difference between an Open Border and the current Fentanyl Crisis.
I also know it’s time to get serious. It’s time to get tough again. We have lives to save and a nation to protect. The next dead could be your family members; your brothers, sisters, sons, daughters.
Think about that. Do we want Americans to continue to die? Or do we want to THROW THE BUMS OUT who are responsible for this?
