Abbott is good at blaming EVERYONE and ANYONE for the problems with his state.
Fentanyl is not a new problem .

“From 2018 in the in the Houston division proper which includes the McAllen in our area. McAllen, Texas area. We seize 49 kilograms and in 2020 we seized up to 323 kilograms. So, that's an uptick of about 600%,” said Sanchez.

Richard Sanchez, DEA special agent in charge of the Rio Grande Area.

So did Abbott accuse Trump's of anything with that uptick.

Yeah, let's pamper these so-called migrants and worry about getting them into our country and providing for them rather than the drugs coming through our border addicting and killing Americans.

No more money for the border wall to help stop this nonsense instead Biden chooses to do this......

Biden’s fiscal package includes financing, $4.3 billion worth, for refugee services to help resettle 110,000 more migrants than was the case under Trump, as well as $861 million to increase security and economic support for Central American nations (which has never worked). It also diverts $891 million to hire more immigration judges and support staff to process court backlogs.

Yeah, Biden wants them processed to he can release them faster into our country.
The consumers are the blame here. It’s coming in from all sources, not just southern border.

Fentanyl seizures went up 600% in some parts of Texas last year and Abbott said nothing.

Now it is all Biden's fault after 4 months in office ....hmmmmm

Convenient

And thanks to the derelict in the White House, drug crimes aren't even deported anymore, but then again democrats won't even deport rapists.

Nope. Folklore...See...

The people taking Fentanyl and Heroin are the ones responsible for it. If there is no market then there would be no effort to supply it. Since we do not have real efforts to curb use other than a fake war on drugs, we will never curb it.

But we keep fighting a losing battle with this war on drugs, pretending we are not the ones in love with drugs. Americans LOVE drugs and will do anything to get them hence why this fake war will never succeed.
The problem is us.

No one forces anyone to sell drugs to anyone! In fact selling them is illegal! They are the ones initially responsible. I don't care how in love with drugs anyone is as I said, no one is forced to sell them to them! They sellers are the real problem!

No one is forced to take them. Americans create the market by doing the drugs. Most people here wouldn't even know how to buy Heroin or Cocaine because it takes EFFORT to buy it, You have to seek it out. There will always be a market for things people are willing to go extreme lengths to buy or obtain regardless of the legality.

No different than prostitution been Illegal since the birth of Christ yet Lot Lizards can be seen at every truck stop. Demand drives supply.

Americans love their drugs which is why Alcohol is legal, not for a lack of trying to outlaw it. Again Demand drove supply.

I didn't say that anyone is forced to buy and take drugs but the fact still is that if they weren't made available by these drug runners they wouldn't be able to use them. No drugs, no users. At any rate they are both guilty. Drug pushers get people hooked on them in the first place and that's where the demand comes into play afterwards.

Under Biden's border policies these drugs are getting into our country at a much higher rate.

You got a believable source for that? I understand that the pot import is way down with the legalizations.

You hot good data that others have gone up?
