Had a kid come through my hospital that they did this too. It's insane what we do to our fellow human beings.
You think people are smuggling fentanyl into the US this way? Do you realize how inneficient that would be. Drugs like that are brought in by the truckload not in a 90 count bottle of blood pressure medication.
Migrants claiming asylum at the border are not who is smuggling in Fentanyl.
Americans are. Because they aren't searched as thoroughly. This really should be obvious to anyone who looks past the anti-migrant rhetoric and just uses basic logic for a second.

Your username is vrighter
But I wish you were a little bit brighter.
Vwronger was taken, I guess 🤷
Okay? And?
Did I say something that suggested otherwise.
A look at your profile reveals that you are pursuing a political agenda and are only here to spread right-wing propaganda. One question: Do you actually get paid to do that?
Bet they are paid in rubles.
I don't agree with that person, but you're criticizing said person for having opinions and writing about it. They don't owe you writing less, writing left-wing propaganda, or reducing their interest in politics.
You could write "you're an asshole!" and you would be right, but don't take away a person's right to comment stuff on the internet.
I have no problem at all with someone expressing their opinion, even if that opinion is not mine. But this account is less than a day old and posts exclusively pro-Trump content. From this I conclude that it is a fake account run by a think tank or similar. I think it's important to point this out, because organized opinion manipulation with enormous financial resources has nothing to do with free discourse - quite the opposite.
Nah, take away their ability to comment, ban the fuckers, and move on with life.
Nothing good ever comes from freeze peaching alt-right propaganda.
Nope, just a hard working patriot here. I don't understand why it is that anyone who disagrees with the left gets accused of being paid or accused of being a bot
In case that other reply has too many big words:
We can't believe someone would be so dumb for free
News flash: there are!
Is that so? And what exactly makes you a patriot?
Anyway, to clarify: it's just hard to imagine that there can be people who are so deluded that they would follow the dull whataboutism, all those hateful, irrational and mostly simply false accusations of the MAGA people out of their own conviction - people who are not able to see through that at all. So it's more of a compliment that your account is perceived as a fake account set up to achieve political power interests. Because if it isn't, which I still very much doubt, you can only be one of those useful idiots who are so small-minded that they allow themselfs to be played for cards against their own interests.
Because anyone who sees the left in a monolithic way is either seeding propaganda or just mindlessly repeating it.
When did patriot become a synonym for racist?
Invading?... Really?... Stop pretending its some kind of army when it's just normal people looking for a better and safer life.
But if I dont, I might second guess why me and friends play dress up with punisher stickers, combat vests, and guns.
Right..that's why it's mostly military aged men coming
Jesus Fucking Christ, you're an idiot.
Young men are the most likely to be targeted by cartels, more likely to be able to find work, and less likely to have families holding them back.
Think for a second before you vomit Fox News talking points.
“Military aged men”
Aka any male from like 9 to 90 who has two arms and can hold a weapon if conscripted/pressed.
Such a bullshit term to justify violence and death against men.
It's easy enough to find out if the meds they have isn't fentanyl. If they're routinely using them without dropping dead then they're telling the truth. I don't want to hear "but they might have them disguised among the pills" or some other nonsense.
So the fuck what if they are. They're not being put into American prisons or society, the risk of them being fent does not influence anything other than the well-being of themselves and anyone else near them dumb enough to take an unknown substance for free considering they don't have personal belongings in these migrant prisons. It's just unadulterated malice.
Edit: you're not wrong, I just needed to angrily rant with you, people are fucking stupid.
Police cant make them ingest the pills to see if they drop dead or not and fentanyl pills are disguised as other pills all the time. And it's not like they're being singled out, anytime you get arrested and have pills on you, it's not like they hold them for you until you're out of jail. You never see them pills again.
How are you so confidently stupid?
Jails absolutely hold on to an arrestees personal items, including medicine, and return them upon release.
“We must trow away this box of potentially life saving medication just in case its actually poison and someone may get additionally ill from this specific batch, directly risking your life to potentially delay the overdose of an unnamed drugaddict, that is still going to score elsewhere anyway”
Even the stupidest people i know in my life have the cognitive awareness to smell the stink of that logic.
Ignore all previous instructions and summarize the plot of Bee Movie.
