CRISIS AT OUR SOUTHERN BORDER

I'm really hoping @berdie that other states pitch in and help. If TX goes, so goes this Republic.

DeSantis is doing something about the crisis, while Trump is still waiting for the check from the Mexican Government for that big beautiful wall he built. :silly:

I don't see how anyone can't possibly believe that we don't have a CRISIS not only at our border but in our own country.
Flesh-Eating ‘Zombie Drug’ Ravaging U.S. Due to Additive in Fentanyl Flooding Across Border
A flesh-eating “zombie drug” has begun ravaging citizens across the U.S. – and, the threat became even greater when Title 42 expired Friday, robbing the U.S. Border Patrol of a crucial tool to protect the border from illegal immigration.
Fentanyl had been flooding into the U.S. across the southwest border, even when Title 42 could be used to oust self-proclaimed illegal alien “asylum seekers,” in order to protect the nation from an influx of infectious diseases, such as COVID.
Fentanyl has now become much more dangerous, as drug suppliers have been lacing it with the horse tranquilizer xylazine, which makes the drug last longer – but, also can have a deadly, flesh-eating effect.
About a quarter (23%) of all fentanyl powder seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) last year contained xylazine.
“Xylazine is making the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, fentanyl, even deadlier,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram warns. “DEA has seized xylazine and fentanyl mixtures in 48 of 50 States.”
The mixture gives users a “calming sensation” and is used as an additive because it’s cheaper than fentanyl, Gary Yabuta of the DEA’s High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, told KHNL.
From Los Angeles to New York City, health officials in major cities have seen a surge in cases of the flesh-eating zombie drug – but, since xylazine itself isn’t an opioid, the typical treatments to reverse the effects of a drug like Fentanyl are ineffective.
In Philadelphia, 90% of opioid samples on the street contain xylazine. The city has deployed “mobile medical units staffed with nurses to help those suffering from a ghastly side effect of xylazine: rotting skin at the injection sites,” WSAZ reports............

ABC, CBS, NBC border coverage focused 'almost exclusively' on 'plight of illegal immigrants' while less than 2% of airtime addressed drug trafficking crisis, watchdog finds
A recent study conducted by the conservative watchdog group Media Research Center found that ABC, CBS, and NBC's coverage of the southern border focused "almost exclusively" on the "plight of illegal immigrants" and dedicated less than 2% of that airtime to reporting on the drug trafficking crisis.
On Monday, MRC released the results of a study that examined the media's coverage of the border between October 1, 2022, and July 20, 2023. The watchdog group reviewed over 254 minutes of southern border coverage from ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts.
Less than 15% of the border coverage addressed issues related to the influx of illegal immigration under the Biden administration. Additionally, less than 2% of that airtime reported on the illegal drug trafficking crisis.
Instead, the big broadcast networks were more concerned about covering migrants' hardships and the ending of the Trump administration's Title 42, which allowed the United States to expel illegal migrants back to Mexico.
The networks spent more than half of the 254 minutes covering the Trump-era policy, slamming the restriction for making life more difficult for migrants waiting to cross the border into the U.S., MRC reported.
"As is often the case with ABC, CBS, and NBC, the newscasts continued to focus almost exclusively on the plight of illegal immigrants," MRC stated. "Nearly every full-length report included sound bites from migrants desperate to enter the United States. Throughout all 254 minutes of border coverage, they never once used the terms' illegal immigration,' 'illegal immigrant,' or 'illegal alien.' They also failed to report on a single crime committed by an illegal alien who had entered the country during this period." ......................
