FactCheck: Fentanyl smuggled by US citizens, not Mexicans

[On reducing drug overdoses]: "Americans want common sense from their leaders, but in Washington, the Biden administration is doubling down on crazy. President Biden inherited ...the most secure border in history. 100,000 Americans a year are now killed from drug overdoses, largely from fentanyl pouring across our southern border."

FactCheck by PolitiFact, 2/8/23 [Gov. Huckabee Sanders implied that fentanyl overdoses would be reduced if the southern border were made more secure, but in fact most fentanyl enters America by US citizens at secure border entry points]: "Mexico is the United States' primary source of illegally sourced fentanyl, per a report from the Rand Corp. It's worth noting that the vast quantity of the drug is smuggled through official ports of entry in large trucks or cars, according to the Congressional Research Service. And most fentanyl is smuggled in by U.S. citizens, the libertarian Cato Institute said."
