Letter to the editor: When will our leaders address border drug crisis?

Tribune-Review | Thursday, August 25, 2022 9:00 a.m.

It is wonderful that the drug manufacturers will pay $26 billion for a national settlement as a result of the opioid epidemic, but in my opinion, this money will do nothing to combat addiction. When will we address the real cause of this epidemic?

I’m sure these addicts are not getting these drugs from their doctors. There were nearly 2,000 pounds of fentanyl seized in July alone by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. Will there be a federal lawsuit against the drug cartels as well? There were over 108,000 overdose deaths last year.

When will the murderous cartels be stopped? When will our government address the border crisis? Until then, our children and grandchildren will continue to fall victim to President Biden and Vice President Harris’ policies and the resulting damage. People must open their eyes and mouths! Will our children pay the price of our government’s stupidity?
