mr. patterson before the judiciary i ask a few questions, mr. speaker, and it was like this. what percentage of the illegal drugs consumed in america come from or through mexico? and the answer that he agreed to was 80% to 90% of the illegal drugs consumed in america come from or through mexico. they don't all produce in mexico. some of those drugs, a lot, are smuggled in out of china and then they process the drugs there and they smuggle them into the united states because that's the most expeditious route. it is our responsibility here in the united states we have nand for illegal drugs. that's part of it. we need to address it here on the demand side. but we also have to address it on the interdiction side and address it with regard to mexico and points south part of this equation that is producing and pushing these drugs up into america, particularly fentanyl, the highly, highly dangerous coming in contact with that one time can kill you. very small dose of it can do that. we've got tremendous amount of people coming out of the most violent countries in the world being br
