Their comments come as a bipartisan group of 18 attorneys general
. “Alabama’s fentanyl problem can be traced directly to the border and our location on the ‘drug trafficking superhighway.’of a six-state region in the South, including Alabama. As part of the assessment, law enforcement officers within the region listed fentanyl right behind methamphetamine as the top drug threat of the region.
“Americans are losing their lives right now,” Tuberville said during recent Senate remarks. “Lives are being lost every day … we don’t need a bureaucrat talking points or wasting time, we need a plan, and we need a plan now to stop these drugs.” Authorities are on pace to make more than 2.3 million immigration arrests during the government’s 2022 fiscal year, which ends on September 30. That figure would shatter the previous record of 1.7 million arrests, recording last fiscal year.
“Republicans have shown they are uninterested in looking for solutions on immigration or fentanyl,” said Zachary Mueller, political director with America’s Voice, a group lobbying to put 11 million undocumented Americans on a path to full citizenship. “In fact, Republicans have actively opposed measures to help interdict drugs at the border and help alleviate demand for illicit drugs. It’s just cynical politics, not a policy debate.”play a role in bringing the deadly drugs into the U.S.
some state's AG's should be classified as 'weapons of mass destruction!'
Just another example of how the job of a politician is to get reelected, not solve actual problems. Doubling down on a 50 year old, failed, destructive, politically motivated, drug war just prolongs a fiasco that needs to be replaced with something that has a chance of working.
Asking AGs to tackle a health issue. What could go wrong?
They should have sent a letter to Trump because fentanyl was a problem before Biden was elected.
FINISH the F'ing WALL and put back all the things Trump was doing at the border Thats a start.
Why do Jim Crow Republicans keep sending President Biden letters while they deeply Hate Democrats so much that they even refused Billions of dollars to Expand Medicaid because of Hate President Biden isn't going to listen to people who Hate his Party so deeply. Just stop it.
Well the only things boarding us is Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida so tell me all about this being a border issue lol why aren’t these other states stopping it before it gets here to Alabama?
Why would they blame anything else? They don’t have enough knowledge on the subject to know what’s really going on.
“Tuberville… said that Democratic progressive politicians ‘don’t want to stop’ the fentanyl crisis because they also back open borders policies ‘because they want new voters.’” 🤦♀️ I can’t believe we traded Doug Jones for this guy.

Shit been floating around shit hole maga land forever
He won’t. It would require him to do something about the border.
if there hadn't been an opioid crisis there wouldn't be a fentanyl crisis. am I wrong?
If Alabama lawmakers spent a dime on rehabs or ANYTHING tackling fentanyl or meth in our state it would be a start. They don’t. They blame Brandon instead. Folks were still dying when Trump was President.
