#1,494 - Fentanyl crisis in California reaches catastrophic proportions, siezures up nearly 600%

Fentanyl seized at the border was sufficient to kill twice the population of North America.

A report released on Dec. 23  by the office of California’s Governor Gavin Newsom revealed that the amount of fentanyl pouring over the California border has reached catastrophic proportions. There was enough of the drug reaching the state in 2022 to kill every man, woman and child in North America -- twice.

This past year saw a 594% increase in fentanyl seizures compared to 2021. The California National Guard and law enforcement seized 28,765 pounds of Fentanyl. This is frightening when a lethal dose of fentanyl can fit inside the square of a keypad letter on an iphone.

The staggering increase in the amount of the deadly synthetic opioid, is a stark reminder that the crisis at the border is real. Drugs are carried by people entering the United States, often illegally. The latest number of illegal border crossings released by the Department of Homeland Security reveal that there were 2,378,944 people coming across the southwest border this year, more than triple the amount from 2020.

Since President Biden took office, the number of illegal crossings have steadily increased. In January 2022 there were approximately 155,00 illegal crossings, but by March that number exceeded 200,000 per month and remained at that average for the rest of the year, with single adults being the largest percentage, more than double that of family units.
