Republicans have no solutions for the problems in our country. With the Southern border, their only solution is to finish former President Donald Trump's ego wall, which he recently falsely claimed that he had completed it while in office. Every time there is a drug seizure by the border, Republicans blame it on the open border that isn't really open. Every single time. They do this knowing full well that seized illegal drugs means that the system is working.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn is very upset about this.

Twitter users were confused.

On an aside, what in the f*ck is happening here?

Fentanyl is a boogeyman issue with Republicans. According to the CATO Institute, "Fentanyl smuggling is ultimately funded by U.S. consumers who pay for illicit opioids: nearly 99 percent of whom are U.S. citizens." This is just more otherism from Republicans instead of problem-solving. If the border is open, how are illegal drugs being seized?
