I'm not part of his cult but I am part of a "cult" who lost a child to fentanyl poisoning. I mentioned this several years back on the leach field. I know the parents in my survivor groups are happy he is following through with the campaign promises and trying to close the open border and trying to reduce the flow of fentanyl into the country. Tariffs were part of that plan. We would gladly exchange paying more for gas or orange juice to have our children back. I know parents who may lose a child over the next few years would take the chance of paying more now if they knew their child would survive. We hope that this is a temporary negotiating tool and will bring Mexico, China and Canada to the table to come up with a plan.
Do you think this is the best way to solve the fentanyl issue? I think Kathy has great points in her post and I think it shows that Trump is more about grandstanding and bullying than fixing the problem.
I honesty do not care how the fentanyl is coming. Regardless of tactic it will be here but anything we do to decrease it is a win. There is no denying that it is also coming over the open border. I would like to stop as much as we can and have these countries assist.I sympathize with parents and relatives that have lost loved ones to fentanyl overdoses but as the article below shows most is brought into the US via legal entry points by US citizens.
American citizens smuggle more fentanyl into the US than migrants, data show
The idea that tougher enforcement on illegal immigration will stop illegal drugs from flowing into the U.S. has long been a political talking point.www.kpbs.org
Until the demand for illicit drugs in the US decreases it will always find a way to flow over the borders. Until treatment facilities increase in number and become affordable from a cost perspective and addicts are given the amount of support needed both during treatment and afterwards the demand will remain high.
Just look at the US compared to other nations - it is less about availability than it is about Harm Reduction Policies
I get it but if you read 90% comes through legal channels - only 10% from 'open' borders - another Republican false narrative
I think your opinion is more based on hope than anything else.
If it's 10% I'll take it.
Yes he did say that that there were other considerations beyond fentanyl

everyone not in the republican bubble understand what Trump is doing here and the damage it will do to the US. Including the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal.
