Fentanyl Is Smuggled for U.S. Citizens By U.S. Citizens, Not Asylum Seekers​




Fentanyl overdoses tragically caused tens of thousands of preventable deaths last year. Many politicians who want to end U.S. asylum law claim that immigrants crossing the border illegally are responsible. An NPR‐Ipsos poll last week found that 39 percent of Americans and 60 percent of Republicans believe, “Most of the fentanyl entering the U.S. is smuggled in by unauthorized migrants crossing the border illegally.” A more accurate summary is that fentanyl is overwhelmingly smuggled by U.S. citizens almost entirely for U.S. citizen consumers.

Here are facts:

  • Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens.
  • In 2021, U.S. citizens were 86.3 percent of convicted fentanyl drug traffickers—ten times greater than convictions of illegal immigrants for the same offense.
  • Over 90 percent of fentanyl seizures occur at legal crossing points or interior vehicle checkpoints, not on illegal migration routes, so U.S. citizens (who are subject to less scrutiny) when crossing legally are the best smugglers.
  • The location of smuggling makes sense because hard drugs at ports of entry are about 97 percent less likely to be stopped than are people crossing illegally between them.
  • Just 0.02 percent of the people arrested by Border Patrol for crossing illegally possessed any fentanyl whatsoever.
  • The government exacerbated the problem by banning most legal cross border traffic in 2020 and 2021, accelerating a switch to fentanyl (the easiest‐to‐conceal drug).
  • During the travel restrictions, fentanyl seizures at ports quadrupled from fiscal year 2019 to 2021. Fentanyl went from a third of combined heroin and fentanyl seizures to over 90 percent.
  • Annual deaths from fentanyl nearly doubled from 2019 to 2021 after the government banned most travel (and asylum).
These right here are facts yet dumbshits like Northern and Ryan won’t learn them. They don’t fit their BS narrative and they will continue to blame migrants for a problem Americans are responsible for. They fell hook, line and sinker for Ted Ceuz’ lies 2 weeks into the Biden presidency. Republicans PLANNED to use the border as an issue.

Now they vote against a bipartisan immigration plan. MAGA. Well done.
 
The idiot @Here_4_a_Day keeps laughing but everything posted here are truth bombs. Just listen to the Republican Senators calling it out. Trump runs the House. Republicans do not want to fix our problems.
Go do what you do, TardJob, which is coach kickball, and leave the evil realties of what the left is doing to this country to those of us who deal with it every day…..
