I noticed this from the story:
More than 70,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2017, a record, according the latest available figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
I think many of those overdoses are intentional. People just want out of here because of the shittyness of life.
Also This :
President Donald Trump has insisted his proposal for a border wall will reduce such deaths and stem drug trafficking, but CBP data indicate the vast majority of fentanyl, methamphetamine and other hard drugs are seized from vehicles attempting to drive through official ports of entry.
What a load of shit for a border wall that won't do anything. Even if they don't come through the legal points of entry they can always build new tunnels or fly over.
