Among the many challenges posed by open borders, one of the most alarming is the unregulated influx of dangerous drugs into the nation, particularly fentanyl. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration states that fentanyl is &#8220;approximately 100 times more potent&#8221; than morphine and is a major factor in rising drug overdose deaths in America. <\/p>\n<p>However, fentanyl has become almost trivial compared to a new, even more lethal drug entering the country: carfentanil. According to Fox News, nearly 70% of U.S. overdose deaths last year were linked to illegally manufactured fentanyls (IMFs), with carfentanil being an altered form said to be 100 times stronger than fentanyl itself. The CDC reported a staggering increase in carfentanil-related deaths\u2014over 700% from January to June 2023 compared to the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Carfentanil&#8217;s ease of mass production has made it increasingly popular among users, complicating Trump&#8217;s challenge of addressing America&#8217;s opioid crisis directly as he prepares for his presidency starting January 20, 2025. In contrast to incumbent President Joe Biden&#8217;s indirect approach, Trump aims for a more confrontational strategy against this issue and recognizes that both border security and drug trafficking must be prioritized.<\/p>\n<p>Recent reports have highlighted other dangerous substances emerging from this crisis; for instance, videos surfaced showing cities like Philadelphia dealing with &#8220;tranq,&#8221; a mix of fentanyl and an animal sedative. As Trump seeks his ideal DEA appointment, those affected by the opioid epidemic are likely looking forward to his administration&#8217;s response<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2384411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Worse-than-fentanyl.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5097,47551,7266,10250,32068],"class_list":["post-2384410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cdc","tag-drug-crisis","tag-epidemic","tag-fentanyl","tag-public-health"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Worse-than-fentanyl.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384410"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384410\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384414,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384410\/revisions\/2384414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
