'The maths are hard': Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked for not understanding what 'seized' means - RawStory"I want you to know that in 2020 there were 4,800 pounds of fentanyl seized by CBP. But in 2021, fiscal year 2021, it increased to 11,200 pounds of fentanyl was seized by the CBP. That is a direct result of Biden administration failure policies," said Greene. "Now here we are in to date, to date, fiscal, fiscal year 2023 they have already seized 12,500 pounds of fentanyl. The Biden administration is failing this country by not protecting our border and securing our border, and stopping Chinese fentanyl from being brought into our country illegally by the cartels, and people are dying every single day because of it."
Social media users immediately pounced on Greene for, apparently, not understanding what the word "seized" means.
Ghost-Rebooted: "More seizures is better right?"
Jaini Margaret: "Hey @RepMTG The word 'seized' when referring to the border, means something was taken at the border & not permitted to come into America. So, the Biden administration has stopped more fentanyl from getting past the border & into America than the Trump administration."
BruceGoldberg: "She really needs to watch this clip, over and over (if necessary) to fully grasp the magnitude of her self-own. It's literally a tutorial."

(1,823 posts)I can never understand when they make a similar argument when talking about people stopped at the border. Im like is it really a failure if they are apprehended? He literally cant stop someone from another country from attempting to cross the border. But somehow in Republican eyes its a failure.

(7,286 posts)The math is actually easy. Any LEO will tell you more dope being seized means more dope coming in. The cartels plan it that way as the cost of business.
Plus they are able to make tons of it 24/7/365. They are flooding the market
The amount being seized is a drop in the bucket
If the seizures were working, the number of OD deaths would be plateauing or declining
And they are not. We had another one here last week. 26 year old young lady
