For the first time in U.S. history, more fentanyl than heroin has been intercepted by federal law enforcement at the country’s borders.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, 11,201 pounds of fentanyl was seized in fiscal year 2021, compared to 5,400 pounds of heroin. Other drugs seized include 319,447 pounds of marijuana, 190,861 pounds of methamphetamine, 97,638 pounds of cocaine, and 10,848 pounds of ketamine.

2,158 pounds of fentanyl has been seized in fiscal year 2022 to date, compared to 277 pounds of heroin.


More details if you click the link. Not posting the whole article, but it's a disturbing look into a major problem facing our country. IMO our weak southern border is a major vulnerability - a lot of this isn't sourced from Mexico; just shipped through there.

you know if this didnt generate so much money for the US, the government would wipe out these cartels very quickly.

Joe Biden is the largest drug/human trafficker this country has ever seen. But no mean tweets right?

A lot of that crap is coming from China, who is probably thrilled that it's destroying our cities and filling up our urban areas with homeless camps full of addicts.

These are seized amounts. That's a good statistic.

This has been true of most drugs (except pot) forever.

That is truly terrifying considering how deadly fentanyl is.

All of the open border idiots need to wake up. Hopefully they won't won't have to get the call in the middle of the night we got from my BIL. His daughter died from an accidental fentanyl OD.

They won't. Cause it's not compassionate to stop drugs from entering the country. They'd rather let their children get strung out and die. The American leftists for you.

Fentanyl is a big problem. It’s showing up in drugs that doesn’t even make sense to put it in

Guy I know just died from it because he was given a fake adderall pill laced with it
