The number of Americans with opioid-use disorder could be as high as 4 million. Seventy two thousand died of drug overdoes in 2017 alone. Fentanyl is a big contributor.
Scott guesstimates that 30,000 Americans died from fentanyl illicitly manufactured in China and trafficked via America's southern border.
Killing 30,000 Americans with Chinese drugs sounds like war.
And no border wall makes drug-trafficking easy.
