From one of America’s most prominent philanthropists, an eye-opening, myth-busting new perspective for the crisis in the U.S.-Mexico border.

Howard G. Buffett has seen first-hand the devastating impact of inexpensive Mexican heroin and additional opiate cocktails across America. Fueled by declining border guidelines and lawlessness in Mexico and Central America, drugs are pouring over the country’s southern boundary in record quantities, turning Americans into lovers and migrants into medication mules–and about Our 50-State Border Problems: The way the Mexican Boundary Fuels the Drug Epidemic Across America killing us in record numbers.

Politicians talk about a boundary turmoil and an opioid turmoil as separate issues. To Buffett, a landowner over the U.S. boundary with Mexico and today a sheriff in Illinois, these are intimately connected. Ineffective boundary policies not only put residents in boundary states like Tx and Az in harm’s way, they place American lives in areas like Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont at risk.

Mexican cartels have become astonishingly effective by exploiting both the gaps in our boundary security strategy and the desperation of migrants–all while profiting enormously off America’s growing addiction to medicines. The solution isn’t a wall. In this groundbreaking publication, Buffett outlines an authentic, effective, and bi-partisan approach to fighting cartels, building up our national protection, and tackling the roots from the chaos below the boundary.
