trump opening the border to illegal drugs

[Walt]

Biden led the biggest drop in overdose deaths imaginable. Deaths went from 85,000 to 48,000 in two years. That is a nearly impossible drop in deaths. How did he do it?

There has been more than a 50% reduction in potency of fentanyl powder, because of shortage of supply. There was a spike in Reddit posts about a fentanyl "drought" in 2023. Basically, an extreme shortage of fentanyl caused shrinkflation. Dealers did not want to raise prices, so instead lowered potency. This greatly reduced overdoses suddenly.

Biden worked hard to close the border to fentanyl, and the success saved 37,000 lives per year.

So trump is continuing Biden's great success? Sadly no.

Even trump's supporters admit that trump is opening the borders to illegal drugs, and instead moving border patrol into the interior of the country.

HELL YES! Commander Bovino just led the CHARGE to arrest leftist rioters outside ICE MinneapolisThese guys are NOT backing down.KEEP FIGHTING!

The thing about Minneapolis is that it is nowhere near the border, it is especially far from the Mexican border. If Bovino is bringing thousands of his fellow border guards to Minneapolis, they are by definition not stopping drugs at the border.

The trump administration says that by attacking protestors, children at school, and just random Target workers they are making America unpleasant to immigrants, and therefore immigrants will not cross our borders. They appear to be right. Asylum seekers, legal immigrants, American citizens, etc. are all fleeing the USA.

But that does not scare off drugs. You will not bring your children to America, if you think that they might be attacked. You would have no problem sending your drugs to America, because they cannot be hurt.

For YOU phanny.........eat your heart out...

BOO THE BLUE: Democrat Communist & NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was BOOED out of a restaurant in Staten Island as angry patron told him to get the "f*ck out of his neighborhood" while the rest of the patrons chanted "Go Home"!!

Did Mamdani have a group of "immune" police attack them in retribution? Did he threaten to burn down their neighborhood? Did he pull away border guards from keeping drugs out of our country to attack these people?

If not, then it is possible just to let people say things you find offensive. We do not have to sacrifice our country to retribution.

I think making Narcan easily available also helped decrease deaths, another smart move by the Biden administration, they don’t get credit for doing.

So Biden let Fentanyl into the country but he gets credit for Narcan.



The OP is full of crap.

It is amazing but that is actually being blocked in many alt right parts of the country, which are the worst hit by the opioid epidemic.

Opening the border sure let a lot of Fentanyl in... Which was Obama's Biden Junta's main objective.

WHAT???? a load of pure crap.

Deaths from opioid overdoses have decreased from almost 85,000 in the year to June 2023 to 48,000 in the year to April 2025 (the most recent data available, see chart 1).

2023

Sure, if you cut it off at January 1st 2023, then Biden's Presidency looks only a bit successful. If you extend it another two years, it looks extremely successful.

@Walt is lying again.

It's what he does.

The insurrection is going poorly in Minnesota - so the drones are out with absurd lies.

Looks like the drop started about November of '24

I wonder what happened then?

Peak drop was in January of 2024.

 

[Jake Starkey]

The drop began at the end of 2022.
