One of the main problems with Biden’s open borders is that it is so easy to smuggle fentanyl into this country. Drug deaths have exploded Over 100,000 people died from drugs and fentanyl is a major contributor to those deaths. Fentanyl is more deadly by far than heroin. And the thing is, you can make a fortune selling it. Much of the fentanyl smuggled into the United States originated in China.
6-year-old Edgar Alfonso Lamas and 53-year-old Carlos Raygozaparedes were busted not only for the fentanyl, but the authorities also found a whopping 821 pounds of methamphetamine, approximately 190 pounds of cocaine, and more than 20 pounds of fentanyl pills. For just two people to get that much drugs into the country, it has to be attributed to Biden’s border policies.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement:
“Millions of unsuspecting people have the grim reaper looking over their shoulder and they have no idea how close they actually are to dying from taking a single pill. Fentanyl is cheap, it’s easy to get and it is killing our children, our coworkers, and tens of thousands of innocent Americans who don’t have to die.”
A portion of the notice, courtesy of administrator Anne Milgram, read. ”
The DEA is seeing a nationwide spike in fentanyl-related mass-overdose events involving three or more overdoses occurring close in time at the same location.”
“In just the past two months, there have been at least 7 confirmed mass overdose events across the United States resulting in 58 overdoses and 29 overdose deaths. Many of the victims of these mass overdose events thought they were ingesting cocaine and had no idea they were in fact ingesting fentanyl.”

The notice warned all local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to reach out to the DEA for assistance should they experience any mass overdose events and cautioned that fentanyl is not only masquerading as cocaine, but showing up cut into other drugs and being sold as fake prescription pills appearing to be OxyContin, Percocet, and more.
Spitzer on Wednesday added, “With fentanyl in an estimated 40 percent of street drugs, it’s not a matter of if but when someone you know and love dies from fentanyl. We have to continue to do everything we can to combat this deadly drug epidemic and save lives.”
