Fentanyl floods the border as July shatters trafficking record
Fentanyl is surging across the southern border at an astronomical rate, with July’s rate of seizures shattering the previous record and tripling June’s rate, according to Homeland Security Department statistics released this week.
The drugs are yet another vulnerability along a U.S.-Mexico boundary plagued by record levels of human smuggling, including 10 more terrorism suspects whom the Border Patrol nabbed in July alone.
Customs and Border Protection reported seizing 2,071 pounds of fentanyl coming in from Mexico in July. That was 60% more than the previous record, set in April, and more than triple the 640 pounds nabbed in June.
It almost equals the amount of fentanyl seized in all of 2019.
That’s worrisome because authorities say the number of seizures is a yardstick for the overall flow. When more fentanyl is found, more is getting through. That means a devastating amount of drugs likely breached the border last month.
Thanks, Ahole Biden!

Hold Biden accountable > Impeach for TREASON !!!!!!
“Cleaning up a mess left by the previous administration.” Yeah, right. Tell us another one.
Criminalization of drugs is what causes all these problems. If it’s a crime then only criminals get involved, and with them comes violence and corruption. And making the addicts criminals victimizes them when they should instead be getting medical help to overcome their addiction. Legalize, regulate, and tax, just like alcohol and tobacco.
They need to make the stuff to ONLY kill Democrats !!!!
