From Tuscon's Arizona Daily Star:

In a record seizure for Customs and Border Protection, officers confiscated 254 pounds of fentanyl — enough for millions of potentially lethal doses — hidden in a cargo of cucumbers at a Nogales port of entry.

...In 2017, there were more than 28,000 deaths in the United States involving synthetic opioids, which includes fentanyl, other than methadone. That is more deaths than from any other type of opioid, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Fentanyl made by the Sinaloa cartel has been increasingly making its way through Arizona. https://tucson.com/news/local/nogal...cle_3d584107-abb9-54f8-b079-ee6e84179321.html

MILLIONS. Enough potentially lethal doses of fentanyl to kill millions. Thanks are due here for good work done.

LOL! It wouldn't have been seized if not for the border you don't want.

Oh, a wingnut retort.

OK, show me where ANY Democrat has proposed abolishing port of entries or that KKK chant, "open boarders."

Thanks!

Border is spelled: b o r d e r

The word you're using refers to a person who rents a place to live. Just in case you didn't know ...

This is opinion and does not speak to what I challenged you on.

I get it. This is the type of headline trash you respond to.

I am a man of fact and reason. Can you produce anything, even from the left loonies that suggests that we dismantle all boarder controls or not? (of course you can't)

Maybe you only read headlines from radical right publications and dismiss critical thinking when reading so you really believe a trash headline.

But if you want a "real" conversation you must be a bit deeper.

I am guessing your happy with rhetorical sensationalism rather than fact.

The poll embedded in that article states that 36% of Democrats support open borders. There's your stats.

FACT is you people lie.

I asked you for legislation proposed by the dems.

You are just jerking around to avoid teh truth.

Go fly a kite. I was correct, you were dead wrong.

Thanks.

See my sig. You appear to be one of those who pretend not to know things...such as the fact that Trump wants money for much more than "the wall".

Just imagine how much is getting across the border undetected, away from the ports of entry.

That is why the DEms want to beef up point of entry security.

All Democrats have to do is support the current system where we have so many laws unenforced. They don't need to do anything but oppose stronger border security and try for more amnesty. Which they have done.

We are, in fact, in the midst of an opioid addiction crisis, and while not the Southern border smuggling isn't the sole source of these illegal drugs, there certainly seems to be great quantities of these illegal drugs being smuggled across that border.

Time to up our border control game on the Southern border.

Their logic process shows mental disease. According to them we dont need a wall because this staggering amount was seized at a checkpoint. They are reading this and have no idea where they went iff track. Their derp logic is fascinating.

There hasn't been a single case reported where a Fentanyl has climbed over a 30' wall.

This **P*R*O*V*E*S** that "The Wall" will completely halt any Fentanyl from entering the United States of America illegally.
