Fentanyl. Is. Still. A. Problem. It will continue to be a problem until we get control of our border.
This tweet from Port Director Michael W. Humphries feels like Groundhog Day:
“CBP officers seized 5 loads in the last 6 days totaling approximately 802,600 fentanyl pills, 5.25 lbs meth, 6.24 lbs cocaine and 1.62 lbs heroin. Concealment methods included tires, dash, charcoal bags and strapped to a person.”
On Wednesday, January 18, CBP “officers assigned to the Eagle Pass International Bridge seized fentanyl that totaled over $170,000 in street value.” That is 7.4 pounds of fentanyl.
On Saturday, January 14, CBP officers seized “91.16 pounds of alleged methamphetamine” with a street value of $1,796,581.
On Friday, January 13, CBP officers seized almost a MILLION pills.
On Wednesday, January 11, San Diego CBP found “$4M worth of cocaine concealed within a shipment manifested as decorative stone.”
And it just keeps going and going and going.
We have a significant problem on the border, but the Biden Administration won’t find time to address it. Vice President Kamala Harris visited Arizona on Thursday, January 20, to attend an energy infrastructure project. Harris had no time to visit the border, “I visited the border. I will not on this trip, but I have, and I will again,” Harris told KPHO.
