More Americans died of drug overdoses in 2016 than died in the entirety of the Vietnam War — the result of the US’s opioid epidemic.
That’s one takeaway from a new report by Josh Katz for the New York Times, based on preliminary data estimating how many Americans died of drug overdoses last year.
The official, more precise numbers will be available later in 2017 — once the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finishes tabulating and verifying reports from across the US.
In the meantime, the Times contacted local and state agencies across the US to come up with a rough estimate. It calculated that 59,000 to 65,000 people died of overdoses last year, with a harder, but likely imprecise, number of 62,497.

This was a news story from 2017.
I think that the fentanyl deaths have gotten worse.
Open borders kill more people than wars.
But the Democrats don't care.
Open borders gives them more power.

Wrong.

First of all, drugs have nothing to do with immigration.
No one is loading up immigrant with illegal drugs, because they have to walk dozens of miles in the hot desert, and are going to get searched eventually.
Drugs come in shipments by either truck, plane, or ship.

Second is that the drugs themselves have nothing to do with any deaths, and the deaths are all due to the fact that by making them illegal, there is no labeling or standards for concentration.
All the deaths are accidental overdoses caused by the illegal laws against drugs.
And since drug laws are not protecting others, these drug laws are totally against the law, just like Prohibition was. It is not legal to make laws that dictate instead of defend.
 
With Land and water it is estimated at 12,383 miles that has to be covered.

So if they are caught then the process begin to return them or allow them to stay.

yet I wonder how many are smuggled in by pro's who charge for that service.

Its not an easy task.

There is over 12.000 miles of land and sea that has to be covered.
And then you have the smugglers who do this for a living. They have to find a way in without getting caught.

It not that easy as some would think to catch everyone but I believe they do catch most of them.
 
Here's a disgusting tidbit....

65,000 children literally screamed for help....no one could bother to pick up.the phone.
