Look what almost got through: A Closer Look at the Fentanyl Drug Bust
The attempt to bring such fatal and dangerous drugs into the United States occurred at an Arizona port of entry at the Southern border.
As previously stated, a truck was used to transport the fentanyl; at this time, the bust is being referred to as the biggest in history, due to the amount of fentanyl which was seized.
Had the smugglers succeeded in their venture to transport this drug in the United States, they would have enough fentanyl to take out more than 50 million people.
Vaughn provided some public statements about the situation:
“A "false floor" was found in the produce trailer and under the floor they found 114 kilograms of fentanyl.
According to the DEA, just two milligrams is considered a lethal dose. They also grabbed 179 kg of methamphetamine and one gram of fentanyl in pill form. The street value for the fentanyl over $102 million.”
Additionally, Vaughn shared some information about the arrest of the smuggler:
“The CBP officers arrested the smuggler, a Mexican national who attempted to drive the drugs across the border.
The suspect was a part of the DHS’s trusted traveler program called FAST, that stands for free and secure trade for commercial vehicles. The program started after 9/11.” [so how many have made it through because of this 911 program. Looks like someone crafted a keyhole to squeeze through!!]
The Need for Border Security
This most recent massive drug bust is a prime example as to why President Trump is so insistent upon securing our Southern border.
What if CBP agents hadn’t caught the smuggler who was attempting to bring fentanyl into America? This was enough for more than 100 million lethal doses of the drug, officials say.
We have a lot of issues happening at our border and, at this point, if Democrats continue to stick their heads in the sand and act like everything’s all square, then they are accomplices to these crimes.
