    America's newest epidemic - drug overdose

    There were more than 107,000 deaths in 2021, an all-time high. Roughly 70% of those deaths involved Fentanyl, a synthetic Opioid. One of the largest sources of Fentanyl in America is the refusal of the current Administration to close our southern border.

      As bad as it sounds, it's not to the best interest for this government completely stop drug importation, the money need's to continue to flow south, otherwise our Mexican friend's would fall into a depressed state, which it wouldn't be in the best interest. We can't have Mejico go into a depression, the government would lose control, our borders are bad now, they would be controllable if it reached that state. Billions flow in the Mexican economy, and that is besides the money that people here illegally send back home to help their families. Billions! Not million's. Oh, did I mention that in Mexico you cannot own a gun, only the bad people own guns, the law abiding citizen's cannot. Who run's the town's, city's, the country side's, the bad people that have the guns. Sad but true.

          The Mexican government has not been control of most of the country for over two decades.

                  Well not in my mine, it's tied to illegals, but the open border situation is to blame.
                  The illegals in a small part transported some of the drugs but for the most part no.
