KHTS Radio Santa Clarita Radio – Santa Clarita News
During a House Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats Thursday, Congressman Mike Garcia, R-Santa Clarita, delivered a line of questioning to leaders in the Intelligence Community regarding the smuggling of fentanyl and other lethal narcotics into the United States through the open southern border.
The line of questioning comes as Garcia’s area of representation, (CA-27) has the highest amount of fentanyl overdose deaths within Los Angeles County.
“It’s not counter-narcotics. It’s security of our homeland and defense of our southern border. That has not been’ the priority. I would submit that fighting fentanyl smuggling’ needs to be our number one priority. As a mission right now, we are failing. This is a war that we are currently losing, and at the rate of 100,000 American lives every year.”

The Liberal open borders & soft on crime policies are ruining the USA!
The smuggling is being done at ports of entry, where the drugs are brought in by US citizens who have been paid by cartels. The asylum-seekers & those trying to get their family into our country for a better life are not the source of the fentanyl crisis.
