Biden's open borders policy is killing Americans

 Rep. Matt Rosendale:

America is facing a drug epidemic due to the Biden administration's weak open-border policies, which are inviting drug cartels to continue to move thousands of pounds of illicit drugs quietly across our southern border. Without a secure border American drug overdoses and deaths will continue to skyrocket. President Joe Biden must enforce our immigration laws and enable Border Patrol agents and ICE officers to do their jobs to stem the flow of illicit drugs from being trafficked across the southern border.

People unfamiliar with what is happening at the southern border believe that the ongoing crisis is simply a border state’s issue. Sadly, many people who have not experienced the lawlessness on the southern border firsthand do not see the negative effects of open-border policies. Although the flood of illegal aliens and human and drug trafficking immediately impact border states, President Biden’s refusal to act on the border crisis is hurting the entire nation.

Montana for example, is experiencing a major spike in drug overdoses – a direct result of cartels effortlessly smuggling illicit drugs into our country. With little support from the White House, Border Patrol agents are stretched thin and can only do so much to stop illicit drugs from pouring across our border.

BORDER PATROL AGENTS FIND METH WORTH $60K HIDDEN INSIDE CHILD BOOSTER SEATS

In fiscal year 2021, almost a million pounds of illegal drugs, including over 202,000 pounds of fentanyl and methamphetamine, were seized by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The amount of fentanyl seized was enough to kill every American nearly seven times over. Fentanyl border seizures, specifically, increased by 134% in FY 2021, and most of the fentanyl that is flooding our communities is entering the country from Mexico. If a million pounds of drugs were seized by CBP last year, how much more came into the interior undetected? Once the cartels send drugs across the border, it only takes 24-48 hours to distribute it as far north as Montana.

In 2021, the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) seized large amounts of illegal drugs. According to the Montana Department of Justice however, this year our state has already blown past last year’s seizures. State Troopers seized nearly 3,800 fentanyl tablets in 2021 and fentanyl arrests spiked 1,600 percent from the previous year. Through March 15 of this year, MHP Troopers have already seized over 12,000 fentanyl pills, three times more than the total for the entire 2021 calendar year. Pharmacies in Montana are now dispensing Narcan without prescriptions, and they are encouraging people to carry it with them if anyone in their household uses opioids. Narcan is a nasal spray containing naloxone, which can quickly reverse an opioid overdose.

The Center for Disease Control estimates that in 2021, 107,622 Americans died of drug overdoses, with 75 percent of those deaths related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. There were more fentanyl-related deaths in the United States in 2021, than gun- and auto-related deaths combined. How can America’s leaders refuse to acknowledge that their open-borders policies are literally killing Americans?
...

 Clearly, Biden and his administration do not care.  Their priority appears to be importing as many illegals as they can into this country and they are willing to see the import of killer drugs along with them.  The administration appears hostile to the mission of the Border Patrol.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
