| #8 And there is no need to agonize over the people who die or become disabled by narcotics smuggled over the border. They can easily be replaced by people smuggled over the border. |

| #7 Pushing the Mexican president to combat fentanyl smuggling is deflection at it's very worst. But it's not unexpected from the reptiles who run our government. Fentanyl is our problem and it's up to Biden to do something about it. But, like P2k said, Joe and Hunter get their cuts from this business and I suspect many Republicans are in on it too. Otherwise the border would have been secured a long, long time ago. One of the many reasons they all hate Trump is that he really would have put a stop to this nonsense and all the Swamp Creatures would have missed the money. |

#6 The Burg came through again. Reading more of today's posts, I found this in one:Mexico is currently the dominant source for drugs manufactured in clandestine labs using easy-to-purchase precursors from China. The vast majority of the drugs enter overland across the southern border, after which the pills are often moved by regular postal and courier services. |

| #5 The "related" article left out a key question that the rest of the media also conveniently ignores. Fentanyl is a "synthetic" drug, needs a chemical/pharmaceutical industrial process to create it. Where is this happening? Apparently the drug has to be made outside of US borders. China used to get the blame for the bulk of production. IIRC, years ago Trump talked with Xi about having the PRC do something to decrease production and export of fentanyl. No further news coverage seen concerning this. A recent report by the RAND corp (linked there from the Burg a few months ago) stated that MEXICO is now the major producer of illicit fentanyl. I doubt this is happening in small basements & caves. All the cruise missiles we have are either going to Ukraine or going to waste. |

| #3 California man, 60, is charged with possession of enough fentanyl to kill 12 MILLION people as cops seize 24kg in powder and $250,000-worth in pills |

| #2 Said in Jest. 😎 Invade Mexico, Make it into 3 new protectorate states (Yucatán (Oil and cropland), Baha (vacation/shipping port/Oil) and Mid-to North Central area to Texas (Cropland & Oil). Leave Mexico City and below to Mexico. Register and make all Mexicans in these areas, US Residents and full voting Citizenship only after studying and taking a Citizenship test. Then add them to the Tax rolls. Arrest all Gang & Cartel Members (eg. MS-13) and confiscate all assets (et. $400+ Billion a year) I am willing to bet some US Rich $$$$$ elite already own a lot down there now anyhow so tax it. It would solve a few US Food corp, oil and expansion issues. |
