Ex-agent: America’s heroin explosion evidence of lax security

WND

GREG COROMBOS

Border Patrol agents found $1.3 million worth of heroin packages inside a hidden compartment in a pickup’s wheels in November 2013. The 24 packages weighed 93 pounds.

The U.S. government is actively involved in making the U.S.-Mexico border crisis worse, according to a longtime immigration official who points to the explosion of heroin use in the U.S. as proof Obama administration claims of much tighter border security are largely fiction.

“The real way of determining border security is to look at the price and availability of heroin and cocaine,” explained Michael Cutler, who served many years as an immigration official with what was then known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS, combating drug trafficking, human smuggling and terrorism.

“Those chemicals are not produced in the United States,” he said. “They are purely smuggled in. We are in the midst of a heroin epidemic. Our border is nothing more than a speed bump.

“That heroin is behind a lot of the crime that we’re seeing. So while everyone’s talking about limiting how many bullets we should be putting in our guns and how we need to cut down in salt and sugar, why is no body addressing the issue of the damage that narcotics trafficking and narcotics use has on America and the crime rate?”

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, heroin use has been surging since 2007, nearly doubling from 373,000 yearly users to 669,000 in 2012. Heroin overdoses also increased 45 percent from 2006 to 2010. The boost in the drug’s popularity is widely believed to be the result of Latin American cartels importing a larger and cheaper supply across the border. A report released by the Mexican government in 2013 showed poppy production is overtaking marijuana as the choice drug crop in the country. Mexico is now the second-largest heroin producer in the world, after Afghanistan.
