He argued that would \u201cdo a lot more than safe crack pipes.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201c[T]here almost aren\u2019t words in English. The Biden administration \u2014 they just keep on rocking it in the free world. I mean, every single day, reality calls, and the Biden administration just hangs up,\u201d Kennedy emphasized. \u201cI don\u2019t think when moms and dads lie down at night in America and can\u2019t sleep. They are worried about clean injection sites and sterile crack pipes. The issue, Mr. President, is crime. The issue, Mr. President, is how to stop it \u2014 not how to encourage it.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cLook, I\u2019ve passed bills dealing with opioid abuse, and we\u2019re all concerned about the addiction problem. But you want to hit the addiction problem in America a hard lick? Seal the border right now,\u201d he added. \u201cPresident Biden\u2019s policy is this: If you are a Nigerian doctor or a German machinist who wants to come to America, you have to be vetted for years. But if you are some gang-banger drug dealer who just hops the fence at the border, you are welcome. And we\u2019ll fly you anywhere you want in America. Now, that is just bone-deep, down to the marrow stupid. And I\u2019m all for helping people with drug addiction. But the way to deal with it, number one, is just to secure the border. Will it completely solve the problem? No, but it will do a lot more than safe crack pipes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) on Tuesday reacted to the Justice Department weighing the creation of so-called safe injection sites in an effort to prevent fatal overdoses.
