The GOP held a round table of grieving parents who have lost their kids to drug related deaths. Drugs today coming across the border are made to look like candy, and once children take them they die.

There is no second chance these days.

So parents ask the obvious question, with about 200 people dying a day, where is the government response like we saw with Covid, especially when more people are dying of drug related issues than Covid?

I think the only way for government to go after these drug cartels and open border would be if Trump were running them

That's it!! Trump needs to buy up all the cartels.

Then, and only then, with government finally end this scourge they are seemingly ignoring.
 
Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States.

On Thursday, Rep. Jim Banks proposed an amendment to the Controlled Substances Act that would provide harsher penalties for drug traffickers when narcotics have the appearance of candy or are combined with beverage products. The legislation would designate the crime a felony punishable by a maximum of 10 years in prison for a first offense and a maximum of 20 years for a second offense.

Which means the sentence could as well be 6 months.

We assume that the government wants to stop these deaths.

Maybe we should not assume that.

Maybe governments across the globe are more concerned about over population.

There is money for the governments to make over death. Look at all the money governments got from Purdue Pharmaceuticals.

Speaking of overpopulation, wasn't it interesting that one of the globalists manifesto, georgia guidestones, was blown up a couple of months ago at night and was quickly razed a few hours later without any investigation. One of their tenets was depop to 500 million worldwide. Another, deagle, had inventories of military munitions, hardware, etc, in several countries. They also had immigration patterns from countries around the world projected. Interestingly, they had the US total population at 90 million in 3 years, worldwide pop in three years at 3 billion projected. But then..............they quickly scrubbed those data projections.
 
The current liberal Congress is too involved with "January 6" to do a damned thing about anything else. As long as the conservatives are still around, there won't be time for the fentanyl epidemic.
