J.D. Vance was ready to go to war to crush this awful problem Kamala Harris created

J.D. Vance is already thinking about his to-do list if Donald Trump wins the election.

He’s ready to take off the gloves to fix one mess left behind for him.

And J.D. Vance was ready to go to war to crush this awful problem Kamala Harris created.

The explosion in fentanyl tracking under the Biden-Harris administration

U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) grew up in a household where his mother struggled with addiction.

He warned in the past that his mother wouldn’t have survived her addiction during the Biden-Harris border crisis.

The wide open southern border has allowed the Mexican drug cartels to flood the country with the deadly drug fentanyl.

Vance was asked why the fentanyl crisis was so bad in the country during an appearance on comedian Theo Von’s podcast This Past Weekend.

“You can’t make fentanyl in a trailer in somebody’s basement,” Vance said. “It’s not like meth. It takes a really complicated, pretty sophisticated pharmaceutical process.”

Fentanyl is made from chemical precursors from China that are shipped to Mexico.

“We know that a lot of it, maybe even most of it, the Chinese are making — Chinese companies, not necessarily the Chinese government, but they sure as hell know about it — and then they bring it in primarily through the southern border, and the Mexican drug cartels are like the wholesalers,” Vance explained. “And then it makes it to the street level.”

Vance recalled being told by a DEA agent that the cartels were making about $1 billion per year on fentanyl before the border crisis.

That number jumped to $14 or $15 billion per year under the Biden-Harris administration.

“So there’s an explosion of drug trafficking in this country,” Vance stated.

He noted that fentanyl is being laced into just about every illegal drug in the country now.

“I don’t know how you fight something like that,” Von said.

“You’ve gotta go to it at the heart,” Vance replied.

Vance noted that it didn’t get a lot of headlines, but the Trump administration kept the pressure on the Chinese government to keep chemical precursors from being sold to Mexico on an industrial scale.

“Because if you get it at the source, that’s really the way to address it,” Vance said.

The Ohio lawmaker noted that the cartels were hardened criminals.

“This is not some guy who’s selling joints on a college campus,” Vance explained. “They’re doing sex trafficking, they’re getting 11, 10-year-old girls involved in the sex trade. They’re very evil people.”

“Why are we making it easier for these massive criminal organizations to get richer, and richer, and richer?” Vance wondered. “We should be trying to make them poor.”

Von thought that the number of deaths in America from fentanyl was similar to someone shooting people to death every day.

“Can you imagine if Mexico sent gunmen across the border and killed 70,000 Americans a year — because that’s about what dies from fentanyl — we would be in a major war,” Vance said.

Vance thought the solution was to use the military at the southern border to combat the cartels.

“Because these are such vicious people,” Vance explained. “We’ve got to be willing to send our best people, our best fighters, to get control of the southern border. I think that’s the most important issue confronting the country.”

Former President Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to crack down on the cartels.

That could be the fastest solution to restoring order and shutting down the flood of fentanyl.
