re: Border crisis: 233% increase in fentanyl seizures at southern bord

"So you're saying we're doing a better job NOW of finding this stuff before it comes into America. Isn't that a good thing?" Uh, no I'm not saying that. I'm saying that since the seizure rate is up the overall pounds of smuggled drugs are also up. We only intercept something like 10% of illegal drugs so for every 100 pound illegally crossing the border the CBP finds 10 pounds. Now they are finding 23 pounds which means that 233 pounds are illegally crossing the border. And that's being generous. Considering the majority of border agents are now being reassigned to baby sitting illegal minors and are not looking for drugs the capture rate is likely down to 5%. Ask any border agent, the rates for illegal drug smuggling are off the charts. The liberals definitely have blood on their hands with respect to drug overdose deaths.
