RAP: In recent years, New Hampshire has been plagued by a heroin epidemic affecting youth throughout the state. This issue was highlighted in the recent presidential campaign, with Donald Trump frequently commenting on the issue when campaigning in the Granite State.
Trump often professed genuine astonishment that such a beautiful state could be so afflicted with drug problems. He touted his proposal of building a wall along the US-Mexico border as part of the solution to the problem, claiming Mexico as the source for the drugs flowing into New Hampshire.
Just yesterday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu (R) named illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities as being responsible for 85 percent of the fentanyl entering the state, per an interview with Boston Herald Radio.
Specifically, Sununu blamed the sanctuary city of Lawrence, Massachusetts as a significant part of the conduit moving drugs between Mexico and the northeastern region of the United States.
“So you have undocumented drug dealers that are dealing these drugs, they are getting arrested, they are being given bail by judges,” Sununu told Boston Herald Radio. “…They’re jumping bail, getting a new ID and they’re back in the same home dealing drugs a week later. It’s an absolutely crazy system.”
Sununu’s comments on Lawrence reflect a growing concern with sanctuary cities as a safe haven for criminal illegal immigrants, who are difficult to track, and even more difficult to deport.

The career path of some of those “children” illegally crossing the border that Obama provided legal aid for?
Tag em, if the come back bag em.
There is something in the water up there. How else can a whole state all be Mass Holes, all at the same time?
Sununu sounds pretty Trumpian there. I thought he was the quintessential establishment RINO. Mugged by reality, maybe?
“Illegal immigrants are running drugs from sanctuary cities”
I’ll bet they are running much more than that!
It’s like the border is wide open or something
That would make a sanctuary city a criminal accessory, and subject to RICO asset forfeiture laws, no? This could get interesting.
Add Maine and Vermont to the list of ‘junkers’. The interstate highway and Am Trac rail routes are THE PIPELINE.
Makes sense: No I.D., no police record, no financial background, no family history, no conscience. These “immigrants” are living in the shadow for a reason. There are evil things in the dark.
We can only give the honorable title Captain Obvious to so many politicians. Otherwise it becomes redundant.
