Sean Hannity: Trump's warning on illegal immigrants proves grimly prophetic
"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems,” then-candidate Trump said nearly two years ago. “When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with [them]. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Now try to find how often articles in conservative media criticize the professionals in the medical field about the opioid marketing and prescription practices. This is why I argue that we must have an open mind and see the whole problem and not just the angles that fit to our ideological view. Notice, that I never said or implied that better border security is not a sensible measure which can be used to battle the opioid epidemic. What I have argued is that it is not enough, and as long as we do not see the broader picture with all the variables that contribute to this crisis, the problem will not be solved.
