Bill Hagerty (R-TN) says that while the establishment media stay focused on the war in Ukraine, nearly 6,000 miles away, there is \u201ccarnage happening in America\u201d as drug trafficking at the United States-Mexico border translates to more than 100,000 Americans dying every 12 months from drug overdoses.<\/p>\n<p>Hagerty, who gave an exclusive interview to Breitbart News following a trip to Laredo, Texas, said he had first visited the border in 1992 when \u201ca crisis was mounting\u201d with an \u201cinadequate response\u201d from the federal government.<\/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>Today, Hagerty said the region is far more dangerous with deadly consequences for American counties, cities, and communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t folks cutting the line \u2014 this is about big-time crime,\u201d Hagerty said. \u201cThe cartels are a multi-billion-dollar operation. They operate like an army that is working with the Chinese Communist Party that generates profits for the cartels through fentanyl trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/ukraine-retakes-towns-where-280-receive-mass-grave-burial-20-left-dead-on-street\/\">a report<\/a> out of Ukraine detailing the finding of a mass grave filled with nearly 300 people spread like wildfire across the international media outlets. While horrific, Hagerty said the number of Americans dying every year from drug overdoses is the equivalent<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of attention on this is really disturbing,\u201d Hagerty said. \u201cI\u2019m checking my newsfeed and there\u2019s been a mass grave uncovered in Kyiv \u2026 last night, in America we had over 300 overdose deaths \u2026 as many deaths last night in America that were found in that mass grave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have carnage happening in America \u2026 I\u2019m hearing that each month every day is worse in terms of overdoses in America,\u201d Hagerty continued.<\/p>\n<p>From April 2020 to April 2021, the U.S. recorded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/18\/nyt-drug-deaths-surpass-car-and-gun-fatalities-combined\/\">more than 100,000<\/a> drug overdose deaths \u2014 the first time in American history that annual drug overdose deaths have surpassed the 100,000 mark. The rate of overdose deaths is also more than the annual number of Americans who die in car crashes and gun violence combined.<\/p>\n<p>As President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/04\/01\/joe-biden-to-open-the-border-on-may-23\/\">ends Title 42<\/a>, the border control order that has helped federal immigration officials quickly return border crossers to their native countries, Hagerty said the cartels and China are \u201cgoing into overdrive to ship more drugs\u201d into the U.S. market while officials are occupied with merely processing border crossers into the U.S. interior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Joe Biden collapsed our border, he started what is the next war on America\u2019s youth,\u201d Hagerty said. \u201cIt\u2019s game on for the drug cartels and the Chinese communists and its war on America\u2019s youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Biden officials\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2022\/03\/30\/bidens-deputies-500000-migrants-per-month-expected-at-border\/\">admit<\/a>\u00a0that anywhere from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/immigration\/2022\/04\/01\/nyt-biden-ending-title-42-means-18000-illegal-crossings-per-day-at-border\/\">500,000 to 540,000<\/a>\u00a0border crossers and illegal aliens are expected to show up at the border every month with the end of Title 42. This is the equivalent of a population the size of Atlanta, Georgia or Fresno, California arriving at the border over the course of just 28 to 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>The first of a series of legislative solutions if the GOP takes back the House and Senate next year following the November midterm elections, Hagerty said, includes codifying former President Trump\u2019s Remain in Mexico policy into law and reinstating Title 42.<\/p>\n<p>Like Title 42, Remain in Mexico ensured border crossers were sent back to Mexico while awaiting their asylum and immigration hearings in the U.S. \u2014 effectively ending the Catch and Release policy that allows border crossers to be released into the U.S. interior with only a promise that they show up to their hearings in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Finishing construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall is also a top priority, Hagerty said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found zero wall in Laredo,\u201d Hagerty told Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<p>Another part of that GOP agenda, Hagerty said, is transparency when administrations are releasing hundreds of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens every few months into American communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to know, our schools need to know how many are coming, our hospitals need to know, the law enforcement needs to know, it\u2019s going to take a toll on our infrastructure so we must know who is coming to our states,\u201d Hagerty said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re dealing with adversaries that are stronger than we\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d Hagerty continued. \u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of more funding for the border and funding technology. We\u2019ve got to change policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>John Binder is a reporter for Breitbart News.
