Simple supply and demand. Americans are buying drugs. Drugs that kill people on the way. Make any possession of fentanyl a felony of 25 years full time . You have to start at the demand the supply will exhaust itself if no demand.

Despite MAGA manufacturrd-crisis claims: - Fentanyl is smuggled by U.S. citizens (86.3%) not immigrants - 90%+ seizures occur at legal crossings (no "wall" would help) - Trump's ban on legal crossings accelerated Fntnl smuggling (easier to conceal/trffc) cato.org/blog/fentanyl-smugg…

Fentanyl Is Smuggled for U.S. Citizens By U.S. Citizens, Not Asylum Seekers

Reducing deaths requires figuring out the cause, not jumping to blame a group that is not responsible.

Fentanyl is made here in the US as well but we have to blame everything on brown people.
