Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has sounded the alarm on the terrifying hold of Mexican drug cartels on America. In a powerful statement on NBC News’s ‘Meet The Press,’ Vance called for empowering the president with military might to combat the fentanyl crisis plaguing our nation. He exposed the immense financial resources fueling these cartels’ reign of terror and the destabilization of the Mexican government. The urgency for action cannot be overstated as the cartels’ revenue has grown fourteen-fold. Vance highlighted the need to exert economic pressure on China and Mexico, primary sources of fentanyl. Ohio’s devastating overdose death statistics underline the gravity of the situation. Fentanyl claims around 150 lives daily, and the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels are the main culprits. It’s time for drastic measures.
