Maybe in Pittsburgh, but meanwhile in Philadelphia and many other cities, no cash bail is still very much a thing. And look at the new law passed in Illinois. The SAFE-T Act there is going to be a disaster. So there’s no reason for police to risk their lives to arrest someone that is going to be back out on the street in an hour. And here’s a hint: Those cities have one political party in common.

“The new data show overdose deaths involving opioids increased from an estimated 70,029 in 2020 to 80,816 in 2021. Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl), psychostimulants such as methamphetamine, and cocaine also continued to increase in 2021 compared to 2020.”

They’re catching a fraction. And the number they’re catching is way up because the amount trying to get in is way up. You’re just being obtuse. Or you’re genuinely not very bright to understand what the numbers truly mean. You probably think inflation is good and that Biden is the best President ever. Stick with the video games and pizza rolls that your Mom makes - let the adults work it out for you.

The numbers were a small fraction of what they are now. And border patrol was actually allowed to do their jobs. Now, they can’t. So take your sanctimonious comment and go read up on the numbers under Trump vs the numbers under Biden.
