Investigation uncovers problematic side of illegal drug trafficking not receiving adequate oversight: 'It scares all of us'
 
When thinking about the opioid crisis in North America, it's easy to think solely about the human cost. But as one recent investigation found, there's an extreme environmental cost to the opioid crisis — and it seems nobody is doing anything about it.

Mexico's Quinto Elemento Lab investigated the environmental toll of several clandestine drug manufacturing labs, El País reported.
 
The key takeaway was that, even after the labs are discovered and dismantled, the staggering amounts of chemicals and toxins there are disposed of improperly, if at all.

These labs "are dumping tons of toxic chemicals into Mexico's most fragile ecosystems," El País reported. "It's a narco-made ecological catastrophe."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Not to worry, it's all part of Kamala's great master plan for controlling the border! *****rollingeyes*****
