I wouldnt trust anything the DEA says, especially about how the majority of drugs are coming into the US...considering there are numerous heroin epidemics all over the country right now, if what they say is accurate, well they are pretty darn ineffective!


Besides that, the DEAs main function is to ensure the cartels profit as much as possible, that US laws are conducive and benefit the cartels, and to make sure there is little to no competition for them.

If it were up to Beto depending on his views that day and who he talks to, he would open up the walls completely and let drug traffickers come up anytime and anywhere they want.

Democrats in general are doing all they can want to rapidly increase the flow of drugs trafficked in by illegal aliens, so they can claim that money is needed for the opiod epidemic so they can increase taxes and create jobs for people with degrees from underemployed liberal arts college graduates to hire as "navigators" and "social support specialists" etc.

So incredible that we have a President and Commander and Chief that is doing everything in his power to stop flow of smuggled in drugs straight from Mexico.

Arizona is basically in a crisis which is understandable because of our very weak borders and massive rush of drug trafficking illegal aliens.
Yeah. Arizona is in a crisis alright. But it’s git little to do with opioids.

These illegal alien drug smuggling, death dealing dealers are only killing the people that American drug dealers refuse to kill.



What is wrong with that?

Shouldn't these young minority aspiring entrepreneurs be allowed to blossom and become the best people they can be? You must be a Racist for trying to stop these Dreamers...

Considering that drug laws are unconstitutional by design, and drug smugglers and dealers are refusing to comply with these laws...wouldnt that make them patriots?

I was in high school in the 70’s. No one had a clue what was in the drugs they consumed. Did not stop kids from using.

I could not wrap my head around it then or now.
Yeah, I know of a few kids that either tied or got permanently brain damaged that way.

I guess this is another reason to move to North Dakota or Wyoming, huh?

I guess you can look at it that way but I see them as a scourge to society.

I think if someone is dumb enough to take hard core drugs like shooting heroine then they should also be willing to accept the consequences and if they should overdose I don't think our emergency personal should be required to save them. If the person dies the dealer should be arrested for murder.



Legal drug dealers (big pharm) can be liable for killing people so why not the smaller independent contractors (street dealers) ?



Drugs are a huge problem in our society and it costs us billions of dollars to fight it and to treat it.





Drug dealers are not Patriots but they are certainly Rebels.

Smuggled in straight from Mexico: Mexican oxy crisis in Arizona: deaths triple from 2015 to 2017
Red Staters can't get enough of the Mexican 'candy'.

Too bad the president's focus is not on stopping the smuggling where the drugs come in (ports of entry) and instead build monuments in the desert.

Even the wall is designed in such way that it takes no effort to pass bricks of heroin or fentanyl through the gaps in the wall.

Especially among younger/casual drug users.

And at a party? Back in my day (1980s/90s) nobody knew what they were taking.
They cut pharmaceutical pills? I would imagine that is hard to do, when you have to put it back together to look like the original pill.

Mostly powder cocaine and pot, but I guess it depends where you grew up.

There is nothing factual that illegal aliens are the primary traffickers of illegal drugs.

According to the link, someone at a party was handing out blue pills for recreational use , thought to be Oxy.

Instead, the pills were Fentanyl.

Somewhere in all of this is a lack of personal responsibility for one’s own choices and consequences.
How do you know this? (Bolded)
