Whynotry. Typical inane remark and STILL NO SOURCING.
It is pretty simple, close to a quarter of a million people are crossing our southern border each month, each of those persons have to pay the drug cartels between $4,000 and $10,000 for passage. Biden has done next to nothing to increase security at the border so not only are the cartels raking in Billions of dollars each month on human trafficking but the border patrol is over stressed and to busy processing and caring for the new arrivals that our borders remain very porous for drug smuggling. The cartels are not stupid, they know that when they release large groups in any one area then the border resources in that area become overwhelmed opening up trafficking lanes for their drugs.
Biden's policies are not only intentional but he does not give a shit about downstream collateral damage.
"CBP made 239,416 arrests along the Mexico border last month, a 2 percent increase from April, according to the totals. The agency is on pace to exceed 2 million detentions during fiscal 2022, which ends in September, after tallying a record 1.73 million in 2021."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2022/06/16/united-states-border-immigration-arrests/"New provisional data released by the federal government estimates that nearly 108,000 people died from drug overdoses from January to December, 2021."
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/11/1098314220/overdose-deaths-continued-to-rise-in-2021-reaching-historic-highsSo Mazie, when 300,000 people died in a year from Covid we shut the whole friggin country down and stopped educating our children, destroyed 1000's upon 1000's of small businesses, and in many states would not even allow our children to go outdoors, we closed our parks, beaches, restaurants, churches.... and many other places, about the only things open in some communities were grocers, liquor stores, and big box hardware..... It was devastating for many and many are still suffering the after effects....
Now 108,000 die in a year from drug overdoses, fentanyl is killing our children, and Biden doesn't seem to care at all, in fact he is helping to make it happen.
