Mexican cartels are aggressively expanding into new territory here. And they are flooding our communities with cheap. pure heroin. Indeed. heroin seizures at the border have more than doubled since 2010. The U.S. Government estimates that Mexican heroin production jumped an incredible 62 percent from 2013 to 2014 alone. And the reality is that it isnt just heroin coming over the border. Between 2009 and 2014. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a 300 percent increase in methamphetamine seizures on the southwest border as well. This bill is a natural complement to CARA. We cant arrest our way out of this heroin epidemic.
