Attorney General Merrick Garland told senators Wednesday that the fentanyl epidemic ravaging the US has been “unleashed on purpose by the Sinaloa and the new generation Jalisco cartels” — as lawmakers pressed him for a plan to stop the deadly drug.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) kicked off the hearing by telling Garland that ranking member Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had “basically challenged me — and I accept the challenge — to show as much concern about the gun deaths, show as much concern about fentanyl deaths in this country, and I want to do that.”

He also put the onus on the Mexican government, saying it was “helping us, but they could do much more. There’s no question about that.”

Garland wants to blame it all on Mexico. Mexico is making this fentanyl.

China produces the Fetynal and Mexico distributes it.

China makes the precursors.
And the Biden regime enables fentanyl distribution.

He should tell his boss to seal up the border then.

“He also put the onus on the Mexican government, saying it was “helping us, but they could do much more. There’s no question about that.”
I bet if he looked hard enough he could find another government that “could do much more”. All he and US government do is hold the door open for the cartels.

"China produces the Fentanyl and Mexico distributes it."
And the Biden Administration is criminally complicit in its distribution, because it allows the easy flow of Fentanyl across the open U.S. southern border.

And the cartels are being unleashed on the US on purpose by the government.
The buck stops with all pro-illegal invasion politicians.
