Trump Versus Foreign Terrorist Drug Cartel Organizations
By Paul Davis
I recently had lunch with a retired Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) special agent. He spoke of how the influx of dangerous narcotics into the United States is a national security issue. He said drug overdoses kill far more Americans than terrorist attacks.
“The drugs come in from the Mexican cartels and are offered to drug addicts here in Philadelphia and across the country,” the former DEA agent said. “The plant-based drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, are bad enough, but now we see the synthetic, chemically based drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, which are often deadly.”
