Most the failure for the Fentanyl crisis is on the government of Mexico for allowing the cartels to control the southern border. The US government looks the other way and so the dying keeps happening and will continue. What's 100K lives lost every year compared to having open border so we can feel good about our liberalism?

Baloney. Americans like to get high and Fentanyl is just the latest flavor. This is simple Econ 101. Likewise, ever see a gun store in Mexico? No...you haven't. That's because there aren't any. They get all their firearms from the U.S. That's what is responsible for your fictitious "100K" lives lost. Get real, sport.

Commiserations. Mexico and AMLO are trying to re-create a one party state by amending the Constitution-he may succeed. You are not free you are a serf.

Mexico is a very happy Country. Mexico has a middle class that didn't exist even 20 years ago. AMLO has been largely popular and has accomplished much. But, it is Claudia time now. Nobody needs your "commiserations". You are ignorant...so, you may as well be silent.

Of course-left every Left you want to shut off the voices of those who can intelligently disagree. Pathetic.

Thanks for the backstory on how the money was allocated. I really appreciate Mayes’ thoughtful list of uses for the funds. I was part of the bipartisan team that put together ideas for the big opioid bill that Ducey signed. It was one of the bright spots of his administration. When I was still in office and ranking Dem on the Health Committee, there was talk about updating it, but that never happened.

Dougs comments are spot on. The drug problem is a border control problem.
