As people pour across, drugs pour across. Indeed, they will pour people over here in order to sneak drugs over there, number one. Number two, going back to our earlier conversation, the lockdown has left people in depression and looking for alternatives, and one of those is opioids. And so\u2026you cannot disconnect the need to return to life to addressing these social issues. Protect the border, the administration\u2019s not doing that. Return to normal life, people are less tempted to go back to opioids.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p><em>Follow Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday\u2019s broadcast of the Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cVarney &#038; Co.,\u201d Sen.
