July border stunner: Enough fentanyl to kill every American

[JGalt]

Evidently, Americans are buying and using and willing to die dying. They know what they are getting because they want the high. If Americans would stop using and buying there would be a seller. All drug dealers want is money and if they are killing off the addicts, they go out of business. Americans are drug addicts. Period. Why the hell are your kids' users anyway? Look in the mirror.

That's as idiotic as blaming a victim for having money in his pocket, instead of blaming the robber that robbed him.

Let's all quit carrying money so we don't get robbed!

The Joe Biden Open Border Policy. Killing Americans,, wrecking lives and families.

​

Fentanyl is surging across the southern border at an astronomical rate, with July’s rate of seizures shattering the previous record and tripling June’s rate, according to Homeland Security Department statistics released this week.​

​

The drugs are yet another vulnerability along a U.S.-Mexico boundary plagued by record levels of human smuggling, including 10 more terrorism suspects whom the Border Patrol nabbed in July alone.​

​

Customs and Border Protection reported seizing 2,071 pounds of fentanyl coming in from Mexico in July. That was 60% more than the previous record, set in April, and more than triple the 640 pounds nabbed in June.​

​

It almost equals the amount of fentanyl seized in all of 2019.​

​

That’s worrisome because authorities say the number of seizures is a yardstick for the overall flow. When more fentanyl is found, more is getting through. That means a devastating amount of drugs likely breached the border last month.​

​

Just 2 milligrams of fentanyl is considered enough to kill. Given the drug’s lethality, July’s seizures would be enough to slay nearly 470 million people and amount to nearly 1½ doses for every American.​

​

In its response to The Washington Times, CBP pointed to several large seizures that fueled July’s numbers. One GMC truck stopped by Border Patrol agents was found to have about 250 pounds of fentanyl pills. CBP officers also stopped a GMC Yukon entering from Mexico and found more than 100 pounds hidden inside bags of flour, and cans of ground coffee and powdered milk.​

​

Federal authorities have increasingly sounded alarm bells over what they are seeing from the border.​

​

“A decade ago, we didn’t even know about fentanyl, and now it’s a national crisis,” Randy Grossman, the U.S. attorney in Southern California, said last week ahead of the latest CBP numbers. “The amount of fentanyl we are seizing at the border is staggering.” Mr. Grossman’s area is ground zero for the chaos.​

​

Of the nearly 2,100 pounds of fentanyl seized in July, two-thirds came through Southern California. The majority, more than 1,100 pounds, was nabbed as smugglers toted it through border crossings, tucked inside cars and trucks, or hidden on their bodies.​

​

Border Patrol agents are finding an increasing amount in attempts to smuggle it between the border crossings, or when drivers are caught at highway checkpoints deeper into the U.S. San Diego is San Diego is seeing the ramifications.​

​

Mr. Grossman said the county medical examiner recorded a 2,375% increase in fentanyl-related deaths from 2016 to 2021.​

Fighting all the wrong people. Fuck Trump, we need DeSantis and Seal Teams to take out the cartels, the WEF and send a strongly worded letter to Xi and the CCP

As long as we have American drug addicts we will have vendors willing to sell to them. The biggest drug dealers are doctors and the US government legalizing marijuana.
