Drug Overdose Deaths Are Skyrocketing in North Carolina. Blame Biden’s Open Borders

As an ongoing war against an influx of drugs is fought at the southern border, President Joe Biden’s lackadaisical approach to security has left thousands of North Carolinians dead from fentanyl overdoses.

Fentanyl continues to flood over the southern border due to President Joe Biden’s nonexistent border policies and North Carolina residents are sadly feeling some of the harshest effects, as thousands die from drug overdoses every year.

In total, 1 in 35 North Carolinians will die of a drug overdose in their lifetime, the worst in the nation after Arizona, according to data from Just Facts. 4,022 North Carolinians died from overdose in 2022—expect that grim figure to swell as Biden’s open border allows smugglers to bring a constant wave of drugs into the U.S.

In 2021, nearly 107,000 Americans died from drug overdoses and the leading killer was opioids, particularly fentanyl—a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. In recent years, fentanyl has flooded the streets of America wreaking havoc as it goes.

A majority of the fentanyl on the market was manufactured in Mexico or China and subsidized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The southern border under President Biden remains the key entry point for the drug, responsible for over 70 percent of overdoses in 2022.

Biden continues to ignore the constant invasion of illegal aliens and the influx of dangerous drugs at the border, as he and his “progressive” cronies would rather arm the illegal aliens with firearms than send them home and focus on protecting Americans.

Child Migrant Centers Are Out of Control in North Carolina. Josh Stein Will Only Encourage More

Border Security

With record numbers of unaccompanied minors crossing illegally into the United States, the increased abuse of children is turning North Carolina into a border state.

Parents beware—New York City’s migrant crisis is quickly spreading to North Carolina, thanks to Joe Biden’s out-of-control open borders policies.

In June 2023, New York spent just under $6 million on “people seeking asylum.” In February 2024, the city spent over $688 million housing, feeding, and clothing illegal aliens—an 11,366 percent increase in 8 months! When will New Yorkers open their eyes and admit what this actually is—an illegal invasion enabled and encouraged by the Biden Democrats?

Yet Josh Stein, North Carolina’s current Attorney General and Democrat gubernatorial nominee in 2024, recently said that Biden “is our best chance to move this country forward.”

Does Stein approve of Biden’s border policies that dump tens of thousands of illegal aliens into his state, encourages violence against children, and opens the door to vicious gang members?
