Mexican cartels teaming with Chinese organized crime to ramp up meth and fentanyl production

Blaze:

A new report released Monday from the Mexican Defense Department indicates that Mexican drug cartels are turning to bigger labs to produce larger quantities of synthetic drugs like meth and fentanyl, and that organized crime elements in China are central to their operations, according to NPR.

Mexican Defense Secretary General Luis Cresencio Sandoval González claims that the rise in the demand for synthetic drugs comes from many cartels’ decision to shift from naturally grown drugs like opium and marijuana, the popularities of which are on the decline due to crop seizures and eradication.

Sandoval González said that seizures of fentanyl had seen a dramatic increase of 525%, according to Mexican government statistics compared to years prior. Law enforcement seized 1,232 pounds (559 kilograms) of fentanyl in 2016-2018 and 7,710 pounds (3,497 kilograms) in 2019-2021, according to NPR. more

  1. This is a threat to our country precisely because of the Biden open borders policy. So it’s surprising that NPR, the propaganda wing of the DNC would even acknowledge the problem, including implicating their Chinese overlords, although NPR blames “Chinese organized crime” rather than the real culprit, the CCP.

    Another thing for conservatives to campaign on. The correlation seems clear.
