Mexican desert is huge but so are our big American bucks. We can't afford to fly a ton of little drones all around? Some will get shot down but they will have real-time data and we can knock this out in a few months. Also, we have aeroplanes which fly way high in the air and CAN TAKE PICTURES‼️So WTF are we actually doing? Not a damn thing.
I had fentanyl last week for a colonoscopy, it was awesome !
Gee, and they said guns where the number one threat, Think Again, Fact , drugs have killed over 100,000 thousand people last year
The only people bringing fentanyl into the US from Mexico are US citizens; the TeaPartyGOP blocked the immigration bill which would have funded border patrol agents who would be able to inspect every US citizen crossing the border from Mexico. The TeaPartyGOP supports the drug cartels.
Drugs is destroy life
Don't forget the alcohol crisis that kills more than fentanyl. Oh wait, no one wants to talk about that one….
Elites are doing their part to control the world…
Fentanyl killed my wife. Open boarders are not the answer.
Thank a liberal Democrat
A little late to the party 60 min!
There’s a Book called Blood 🩸 money by Peter Schweitzer your own leadership is allowing this to happen.. wake up!
This fentanyl crisis is just so awful, and it is not being covered in the media. Not nearly enough. It’s the number one cause of death for adults under the age of 40? It’s killing massive amounts of teens, and children too.
