Under Biden’s watch, it seemed as if the era of drugs and open borders went hand in hand, creating a perfect storm for a national crisis that struck at the heart of American communities. Enter the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which took a much-needed breath of fresh air with the new administration’s recent acknowledgment of the critical link between illegal immigration and the drug crisis. With Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen leading the charge, there’s a renewed vigor—fueled largely by directives from Donald Trump’s administration—to tackle the drug cartel crisis head-on.
Pullen’s observations shed light on the drastically different landscape of drug enforcement now that the Biden-Harris duo has been given the boot. The DEA has stepped up its game, taking a proactive approach not just to drug trafficking but to the illegal immigrant drug lords who have exploited America’s porous borders for far too long. It’s no secret that illegal aliens have been central to the drug trade; they don’t just smuggle goods but wash the dirty money right here on American soil. Pullen’s sentiments suggest that the open-border policy might have hampered previous efforts, allowing drug traffickers to dart in and out with ease. But now, the DEA is rearming itself with the tools needed to combat these threats—thanks to the shift in leadership.
The statistics don’t lie either. While the Biden administration may have turned a blind eye to the massive fortunes fueling cartels, with a staggering $13 billion flowing into their coffers annually, the seriousness of the crisis hasn’t gone unnoticed. The link to the opioid epidemic, which continues to jeopardize American lives—especially the youth—highlights the urgency of re-establishing control at the border. The numbers supplied by the American Medical Association paint a grim picture: drug overdoses persist at alarming levels. And let’s not forget that the heart of the fentanyl crisis is tied to trade with none other than the Chinese Communist Party, illustrating a web of enemies at home and abroad.

There’s been an undeniable shift toward prioritizing immigration enforcement in tandem with drug trafficking enforcement, and this promises to make a considerable impact on the national drug crisis. Now, as the borders tighten, drug traffickers might find their operations considerably more challenging. As Pullen pointed out, making it increasingly difficult for these criminals to return after deportation strikes at the core of combating this epidemic.
The message is clear: it’s time to ramp up the deportation of criminal illegals. Whatever the liberal media might argue about the complexities of immigration, the numbers show a straightforward reality—shutting down the border is a major step to ensuring that the drug crisis is tackled effectively. The hope remains that with sustained efforts, America can recover from the grip of the drug epidemic, restore law and order, and ensure that the next generation is safeguarded from the same fate.
