The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

'Biden's open borders fuel America's deadly fentanyl crisis'
September 21, 2022
Snip
' While our brave border patrol agents are doing everything they can to stop the flow of these deadly drugs into America's neighborhoods, the Biden administration has left them understaffed and under-resourced. I've heard about it during my trips to the border. But the fentanyl crisis isn't only a problem in border states like Arizona. It's killing Floridians too. More than 2,000 Floridians have died in 2022 from opioid overdoses.

What is President Biden doing to stop the fentanyl killing spree? Nothing.'

'Democrats, Republicans, alike, criticize Biden border policy'
Snip
"The Biden open borders agenda has created a humanitarian crisis that is increasing crime and violence in our streets, overwhelming local communities, and worsening the opioid crisis," Paxton said in a written statement.'

'Portman: Biden's border policies are worsening the opioid crisis'
Snip
'This six-month total is more than all of last year, and CBP believes the vast majority of drugs are getting in without being stopped.

The reason for this is clear ' the Biden administration's radical policy changes have encouraged the drug cartels to smuggle more unlawful migrants and lethal, illicit substances across our southern border.

The Biden administration systematically dismantled the existing border security framework put in place by the Trump administration, including revoking the COVID-19 emergency declaration for the border, stopping construction of the border fence, suspending the Remain in Mexico policy, canceling Asylum Cooperative Agreements and severely reducing immigration enforcement within the United States.'
