In Case You Missed It, Leora Levy Says, ‘We Must Stop the Scourge of Fentanyl’ Caused by Invasion at Southern Border
GREENWICH, CT - In case you missed it, Leora Levy spoke out about the fentanyl epidemic killing so many young Americans in Connecticut and throughout our country. In her opinion editorial published in the CT Post this week, she called out career politicians Joe Biden and Dick Blumenthal for failing to secure our border or support foreign policies that improve U.S. national security, leaving Connecticut communities vulnerable.

According to Levy, “Career politicians and big government advocates like Dick Blumenthal reflexively call for more federal resources, but they continue to leave our border patrol and those securing our nation left with one hand tied behind their back. Stopping the invasion at our federal border is critical to stopping the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.
“Joe Biden has made our border crisis worse. Upon taking office, he halted the building of the border wall and concurrent surveillance and interdiction measures. He then instructed the Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Immigration and Naturalization Service to stop enforcing the law and instead to basically become case workers. ...
“... We cannot be certain (because so many who have crossed illegally have not been counted), but it has been reported that up to 4.9 million people have surged across the southern border since Biden was inaugurated. The Mexican cartels are trafficking in human beings: women, children and men, and flooding our country with fentanyl. China is the number one supplier of fentanyl to the United States, which is then smuggled by the cartels allowing them to make hundreds of millions of dollars a week, smuggling in enough fentanyl to kill millions of Americans.
“The most obvious solution is to secure the border. End the open-door policy, do not allow the massive influx of illegal migrants into our country. Allow the Border Patrol, INS and ICE to do their real jobs. Use electronic surveillance, drones, Border Patrol, National Guard troops and yes, build a wall where feasible. In 2020, illegal entry had slowed to a trickle. Now the only ones benefiting are the cartels and the Chinese whose coffers are overflowing from this human disaster, created and approved by President Biden, Dick Blumenthal and all the career politicians who refuse to act. …
“... Our leaders can and should be working to address fentanyl deaths across our country. The loss of life is tragic, and it is hurting our communities. Lifesaving Narcan, addiction counseling, and other measures to help our communities are critical. But we must take a holistic approach, and when career politicians like Biden and Blumenthal refuse to close the border or properly empower law enforcement and the Justice Department, we will only see the scourge of fentanyl continue in Connecticut and across the country. We can and must do better.”
Levy, a political outsider, is running for U.S. Senate to fight to keep the American Dream safe for all Connecticut families. You can read the full editorial in the CT Post here.
