Fentanyl crisis continues to ravage US communities as border drug trafficking hits new records: memo

The amount of fentanyl seized at the US southern border so far this year could kill the entire US population eight times over

...

Those who have witnessed activity at the border believe the crisis at the border and the fentanyl crisis are correlated.

"Yeah, 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," retired Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent and Texas congressional candidate Frank Lopez Jr. told Fox News Digital.

CBP 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, the memo circulating among senators notes.

Last month, border encounters surpassed 200,000 for the first time. Meanwhile, agents seized a record 2,300 pounds of fentanyl at the southwest and coastal/interior U.S. borders last month, meaning the issue continues to worsen.

The number of migrants who have successfully crossed into the United States this fiscal year is on track to reach 2 million, with about 8,000 crossings per day.

"Certainly me, having spent 30 years in Border Patrol, most of them in the Del Rio Sector, I have never seen anything like this. I've never seen, not just the number of people, but the apparatus … the organization that has gone into the structure of having everything in place to facilitate, expedite, with maximum efficiency, the number of people coming into our country," Lopez said. "We are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars … into these soft-sided facilities, [where the] sole intent is to process and push through as many people as possible."

Drug overdoses led by fentanyl were the No. 1 cause of death for U.S. adults between the ages of 18 and 45 between 2020 and 2021, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data by the anti-fentanyl nonprofit Families Against Fentanyl (FAF).

U.S. life expectancy fell to its lowest point since 1996 in 2021 with 10% of the decline attributed to drug overdoses.

This is a murderous assault on America by China and Mexican cartels.  When President Trump considered bombing the cartel drug labs where the killer drug is processed, it was not the wacky idea many portrayed.  This is a deadly chemical attack on Americans and the current administration is AWOL when it comes to combatting it at its source.  

Of course, Biden has been AWOL on the border since he was elected.  He should be completing the Trump fence and targeting the cartels that are using the migrants as a distraction in order to get the deadly drugs into the US.  The Mexican government appears to be controlled by the cartels when it comes to the drug trade.  It is not blocking the import of the chemicals from China or attacking the cartel manufacturing network.
