Any politician who claims to care about the drug overdose deaths sweeping the nation, but does not demand that we build a wall, deport illegal aliens and end the anchor baby scam, is a liar.
In 2014, more people died from drug overdoses than any year in U.S. history: 47,055. That's more than die in car accidents -- and it's not even close.
This is a huge, horrible problem -- and it's a problem caused entirely by the fact that Mexico is on our southern border.
The diverse, hardworking people of Mexico manufacture the majority of heroin in the U.S. and import "nearly all" of it, according to a 2014 Washington Post report.
The media and political class respond to this fact by asking themselves: How do we blame this on Americans -- preferably white males?
Even as Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the head of Mexico's largest drug cartel, is all over the news boasting, "I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world" (The New York Times, Jan. 10, 2016), we're informed, Hey, don't blame Mexicans! It's America's appetite for drugs that's driving the narcotics trade!
Mexicans aren't at fault for dumping these poisons on our country because ... it's the 14-year-old American kid's fault for getting addicted! Hucksters of cigarettes, subprime mortgages and fake weight loss pills should try that argument. We're just selling what Americans are buying!
About the time President Bush threw open our southern border -- followed by Obama rolling out the welcome mat for illegal aliens -- Mexico aggressively moved into the heroin business. In 2007, U.S. authorities seized 367 kilos of heroin on the Mexican border. In 2013, authorities seized 2,162 kilos.

We're not disagreeing with each other (not that you said we were).
Pray for that every day brother... every day.... He has blessed our family with a second chance... for that I will forever be grateful....
Sorry brother... we as society allow this problem to fester... something needs to be done... translates to... anyone dealing this drug is either executed or put in prison for life with no chance of getting out....
This drug is readily available, dirt cheap.... and is impacting society greatly....
This issue may not be a problem in your neck of the woods... but it is most certainly a huge problem... and a growing one... on the East coast and NE....
We can either ignore it or do something... and yes... I am
Sorry to hear.... this drug has taken so many.... just heard about another over the weekend....
If we can’t stop it from coming in... or refuse to... than we need to start punishing those dealing it, transporting it... or any way in assisting in its’ distribution... with death....
You want to deal death.... than understand you will pay the same price eventually....
