Maybe they don’t know or care about the drug overdoses from the Fentanyl coming across the border.
During FY 2021, CBP officers at the eight ports of entry extending from Brownsville to Del Rio that comprise the Laredo Field Office seized 87,652 pounds of narcotics that would have commanded a combined estimated street value of $786 million. Specifically, they seized 41,713 pounds of marijuana; 8,592 pounds of cocaine, up 98 percent from FY 20; 33,777 pounds of methamphetamine; 1,215 pounds of heroin, 588 pounds of fentanyl, up 1,066 percent from FY 2020, $10.4 million in unreported currency, 463 weapons, up 21 percent from FY 2020 and 84,863 rounds of ammunition.

Glad to see they are doing their job. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing additional US jobs created to do a better, quicker and more thorough job of inspecting all items entering our country for illegal drugs/guns/persons, etc... but I don't think deploying our US military to the border to lock us down is the answer. A lock down severely reduces the flow of goods into our country and we have seen that severe reductions in supply combined with an increase in expense to deliver to market just drives up costs to US consumers.

Why is there a “proliferation of fentanyl”? One main reason (if not the sole reason) is that the drug is flowing into the United States in record amounts. Which brings me to the Southwest border.

As I explained on May 24, the migrant surge there is degrading Border Patrol’s ability to stop the drug smugglers who are bringing in much of the fentanyl that is hitting American streets.

That flood is due to the Biden administration’s border policies, but you don’t have to take my word for it.

In a letter last month to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey complained that the Biden administration's failure to secure the border was flooding his state with fentanyl, which he estimated was responsible for the deaths of 975 West Virginians in 2020.

Just say no to drugs?

…according to an analysis of US Customs and Border Protection data from Immigration Impact found that 95% of of all fentanyl seized came from a port of entry or by a CBP vehicle checkpoint. Similarly, the CATO report cited data showing that according to the US Sentencing Commission, 86.3% of convicted fentanyl traffickers were American citizens…
