As the U.S.-Mexico border has been inundated with children crossing alone and ending up detained in U.S. facilities, liquid methamphetamines are also flowing across the border. The liquid form allows smugglers to disguise the substance in beverage and repurposed plastic containers until reaching a meth house where it is cooked down to crystal form to be sold.
An Associated Press report quoted John Donnelly, once in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's Fresno office, who said of the Central Valley, “We're the source point for Seattle, Portland, Alaska and as far east as the Carolinas."
The Central Valley is not the only place traffickers are getting caught. Down at the border the 16-year-old suspected of smuggling, “volunteered to take 'a big sip'" to convince inspectors the liquid he had was only apple juice, not meth. The teenager began screaming in pain and died within hours” reported AP. In late May of this year, five adult males were arrested in connection with a Modesto cocaine and meth trafficking ring according to News10.
One-hundred seventy-six pounds of crystal meth was seized March 20 in Fresno, California through a joint effort between federal authorities, a California Department of Justice Task Force and the California Highway Patrol. No arrests were made at the time of the raid on the Madera residence. A California Department of Justice report determined that “Mexico-based transnational criminal organizations are suspected of trafficking 70 percent of the U.S. supply of methamphetamine through the San Diego port of entry alone.”

It’s an act of love.
I have never understood the attraction to drugs...never. Even when the stuff literary cooks you, these people still do it. Genetically defective I guess.
“Even when the stuff literary cooks you, these people still do it.”
Perhaps incoherence is your genetic defect.
Even if you wrote literally, rather than literary, which is what I think you meant, that would be incoherent as drugs don’t literally cook anyone or anything.
Drugs like meth are extremely powerful. They “work”. It’s not a placebo effect.
That’s why they are so insidious.
Now that they’ve proved that those of us who said all their anti-cold-pill law would do is shut down the easy to bust ma and pa labs and give more money to the bad guy owned Mexican labs were right, can we have our cold pills back?
Meth - ingenuity in response to the war on drugs.
Even crack is better than meth - not referring to the high, but to the effects on society.
And crack was ingenuity in response to a war on powder cocaine.
The feds are busily importing hundreds of thousands of known and untreatable TB carriers.
God forbid that anyone could ever hope to relieve their cough symptoms cheaply, even after diagnosis of a new and improved fatal condition!
Medicine must only be procured from the approved government vendors who advocate the spread of the diseases!
Duh!
Oh.
Of course!!
How silly of me...
EACH STATE MUST USE THEIR STATES’ NATIONAL GUARD TO CLOSE AND SEAL THE US SOUTHERN BORDER !
DUH !
What great news, I hope it floods their streets, as far as I’m concerned it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.
Drug criminalization, like most big government programs, has an actual effect that is the opposite of its (purportedly) intended effect.
I’m all for it! That would prevent those pesky Oregonians from crossing into Washington and holding up the checkout lines at the stores while they fill out their tax exempt form to avoid our sakes taxes!
