Arizona Border patrol agents arrest two American citezens accused of smuggling Mexican immigrants, drugs into US
Why Troubling News:
I found this article troubling because it asserts that Mexico is the source of the fentanyl crisis. But after a few quick searches, it was easy to discover that most fentanyl comes through legal ports of entry and involves American citizens. This article fuels the misconception that Mexico is the source of the fentynal problem. A more accurate understanding of fentanyl involves Chinese companies and smugglers, as well as American citizen drug pushers and, to a lesser extent, Mexican smugglers. This rhetoric then fuels the idea that because fentanyl is becoming an increasing problem within the United States, undocumneted immigrants are responsible for this increase, when the truth is much more complicated.
