LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS HUGE AMOUNTS OF METH CROSSING
FROM MEXICO INTO US, By Steven Ahle, 3/19/19.
Law enforcement authorities say that
they have been confiscating large amounts of Meth being smuggled across the
Mexican border and that doesn’t include the vast amount of drugs that made it
through.
The numbers for 2018 aren’t complete yet
but in 2017 there were 347,807 law enforcement meth seizures. That’s an
incredible number. That means they were making almost 100 seizures a day but Democrats
don’t think that’s an emergency. U.S. meth-related deaths hit 6,762 in 2016.
Perhaps if these drugs were killing
illegal aliens, the Democrats would act, but they will not act until it affects
their base and not American citizens.
From The Daily Caller - The flood of
meth, a popular synthetic drug that is made in labs, has made it much more
affordable for U.S. consumers and inflamed the drug overdose crisis currently
plaguing the country.
“Everybody’s
biggest fear is what’s it going to look like if meth hits us like fentanyl
did,” Jon DeLena of DEA’s New England office said to the Wall Street Journal.
Access to fentanyl, a dangerously potent synthetic opioid, has led to mass
overdoses across the country. Many fear that the increased trafficking of meth
could result in similar death rates.
DEA officials are blaming the situation on Mexican drug cartels, which
are more aggressively pushing the drug into the U.S. interior as they attempt
to rival South American-made cocaine. The synthetic stimulant is now becoming
more prevalent in many regions — such as the U.S. Northeast — where meth was
more-or-less scarce.
Congress allocated just over $1.37 billion to finance 55 miles of border
wall in Texas following gridlock between Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Trump accepted that funding in February, but he then declared a national
crisis. The president has since requested an additional $8.6. billion for wall construction.
