CBP Seizes 100lbs, Or Almost A $1M-Worth Of Meth Disguised As Candy And Canned Goods

Having a wide open southern border means more than just people are pouring into the country illegally. Drugs are also pouring in, and not in small amounts. Yesterday, the CBP posted an image showing a pile of what looks like candy alongside rows of what look like canned goods. But really, it was $919,000-worth of methamphetamine which was intercepted during an attempt to smuggle it into the country via the Hidalgo International Bridge. Here’s the official press release. The candy was allegedly 13.4 pounds of crystal meth, while the tin cans allegedly contained 89.02 pounds of liquid meth.

Meth is certainly not the only dangerous drug flooding across our southern border. Fentanyl is a huge problem. Last week, CBP also seized 863,600 fentanyl pills, 14.9 pounds of fentanyl powder, along with another 65.83 pounds of meth.

Massive fentanyl seizures like this are becoming far more common. It’s a very serious issue, especially considering how many drug overdose deaths in the United States are attributable to fentanyl. And yet, the Biden Administration’s Department of Homeland Security is proposing that we spend 3.9 BILLION taxpayer dollars on a “climate resiliency program,” while only allocating 40 MILLION taxpayer dollars to the war on fentanyl. Because why fight the issues that are actually killing Americans when you can advance your climate agenda?
