Fentanyl is mostly imported and often transported into the United States across the border with Mexico, primarily by being smuggled through existing ports of entry. That means that criticism of Biden administration border policies can be elevated as a life-or-death concern — and yield proportionately elevated proposals as solutions.

How we consider the politics of covid-19 or of fentanyl is often intertwined with how we present the level of victimhood of those who’ve succumbed.
