Guess what country ships these dangerous drugs across out southern border?

Which drug causes the most deaths each year?
Quote:

Every year, tens of thousands of Americans die from drug overdoses. Perhaps the most well-known source of these deaths is the opioid heroin. However, another, more powerful opioid substance — fentanyl — now causes more fatalities than any other drug in the U.S.

China

Most fentanyl in the U.S. comes from China. China isn’t where fentanyl originated, but because of the lack of regulations in the pharmaceutical industry there, the country is a pretty significant supplier of illegal prescription drugs and chemicals.
