The extremely dangerous opioid fentanyl continues to pour into the U.S. from the south as a result of the open-borders Biden administration.
Citing a memo shared with U.S. Senate Republicans, Fox News reported on Thursday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents “seized an unprecedented 10,500 lbs. of the deadly drug in 2021, and seizures have already surpassed 12,000 lbs. so far this year — the most fentanyl ever seized in a single year in the United States. That much fentanyl could kill the entire U.S. population eight times over.”
CCP-controlled China is the primary source of the fentanyl crisis, Fox News separately reported last week. The substance is then transported by cartels into America.
“Illicit fentanyl is now primarily made in Mexico from precursors manufactured in China, and then trafficked across the southern land border. It is frequently mixed with other drugs, meaning users may not be aware they are ingesting it.”
Making matters worse, in the run-up to Halloween, so-called rainbow fentanyl disguised as candy is targeting kids.
Despite this chaos, which also extends to a catch-and-release program and a deportation aversion for millions of illegal aliens that have crossed the border, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, along with others in the incumbent Democrat administration, inexplicably insist that the border is secure.
She also claimed that a 200% increase in fentanyl seizures by the Border Patrol is a good thing rather than a symptom of a massive problem, including contraband that is evading detection and could result in massive fentanyl overdose deaths for end users even when the drug is ingested in a small amount.
As alluded to above, it is often laced with other drugs, including fake prescription pills.
“[W]ith the increase in fentanyl seizures comes an increase in fentanyl coming into the country. In 2021, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) reported seizing more than 15,000 pounds of substances containing fentanyl and more than 20.4 million fentanyl-laced prescription pills. This year, DEA agents have recovered 20,000 pounds of fentanyl in the interior,” Fox News detailed.

Former Border Patrol agent Frank Lopez, Jr., who worked for the agency for three decades, told Fox News Digital that “I’ve never seen anything like this. The numbers, the organization, the movement. And the federal government is doing a masterful job of keeping it on the down-low as much as possible — sanitizing it as much as possible.”
Lopez is an independent, America First, candidate for Congress in the Texas 23rd district in the San Antonio and El Paso area and is running against incumbent GOP U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales and Democrat John Lira.
According to grim data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fentanyl poisoning has become the primary cause of death for Americans in the 18-45 age group.
Some bipartisan legislation has emerged to combat the fentanyl crisis.
U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), a medical doctor, “who visited the border, and other Republicans are questioning why President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his designated border czar, have not visited the southern border since taking office,” Fox News noted.
The senator added that “Anything we can do to fight fentanyl poisoning — this epidemic — I’m for it. It is just so sad that our president, though, turns his back on this. We’re trying to put our fingers in the pie, do everything we can, but the root problem is that open border. Why this president won’t admit that — why he won’t go down there and secure this border — we have no idea.”
In a separate matter relating to illegal migration, influential George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a self-described liberal, wrote in a column addressing the Martha’s Vineyard controversy, that “In reality, if transporting undocumented migrants after they are released into the country is to be judged criminal, then the Biden administration would be the largest ‘coyote’ in history.”
