Great discussion. Ben, I wish you would/could have shelved the Fentanyl issue once it was mostly agreed that Fentanyl is crossing into America via 95% Americans. Also, the current immigration debacle should have been separated from the Dreamers and DACHA-it became a repeating loop. That aside, this was an excellent both/all sides discussion. I learned a lot. Ben, I love you but your position and political persuasion was apparent. The group was gutsy and smart. Loved them.

The fentanyl is produced in Mexico, and while it may arrive via American mules, in much of the US, the rest of distribution is controlled entirely by illegal migrants. The refusal of Harris to charge SF drug dealers with felonies, so they could not be deported, resulted in some of the cheapest drugs in the country, in the most expensive city, in the US.

It turns out , dope dealers like to work, where they will never be incarcerated. So supplies rise, prices drop, and use goes thru the roof. Soon the streets are covered in tents, needles and human waste. Give Harris the opportunity, soon every US neighborhood , will look like SF, minus the ocean views.
