    You left out the part where the fentanyl entering the country is often
    the
    hands of US citizens.
    Where is this happening? I haven't heard we are bringing it in to the country to kill our kids.

    It's primarily happening at legal crossing points.

    I didn't read the story, but the url says it all: The article was written to set the record left. "Migrants good, citizens bad."

    An unprecedented fentanyl crisis and an unprecedented migrant surge are not a coincidence.

    Perhaps you should read the article.

    The link was to a blog, which usually (but not always) means it is an
    opinion piece.

    I read it, but I don't believe what they say. Do you read cato.org every day? It looks like it served a leftist purpose by saying everything you wanted it
    to say.

    Despite any leftist-excavated statistics, the fentanyl crisis presentd itself after Joe changed the border policies. I'm not going to let leftiststatistics.org tell me any different.

    The Cato Institute is a Libertarian think tank dedicated to "promoting an American public policy based on individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peaceful international relations."

    Why do you choose to not believe what they say? Do you have any evidence to disprove them?

    Despite any leftist-excavated statistics, the fentanyl crisis presentd itself after Joe changed the border policies. I'm not going to let leftiststatistics.org tell me any different.

    The link was not to "leftiststatistics.org".

    Are all statistics that you disagree with automatically "leftist?" Is this
    how you protect your fragile, sensitive worldview?

    On the surface, the link you posted included the word "blog" which usually indicates an opinion piece.

    On the surface, yes. But upon closer inspection you will find that the
    article contains many links to back up its assertions.
