President Joe Biden's weak border policies are causing an influx of deadly drugs to be brought over into the U.S., causing overdose after overdose.
Firefighters in Phoenix, Arizona, are reporting a record-breaking number of overdoses caused by fentanyl, leading to a shortage of Narcan.
In 2021, there were roughly 2,000 fentanyl-related deaths in Arizona. Meanwhile, there have already been at least 7,000 deaths from the fatal drug in 2022.
"You can be on a truck on one day and respond to three or four different fentanyl overdoses," president of the United Phoenix Firefighters Association Bryan Willingham said.
Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin, just two milligrams (smaller than a penny) can be enough to be fatal.
