Resolution 2023-11B - The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee, resolved:
Whereas:
- Fentanyl, which was originally developed in Belgium in the 1960’s as an opioid to relieve chronic pain, has become a nationwide crisis.
- Fentanyl is causing massive destruction to communities all across the United States
- 107,000 Americans overdosed last year and two-thirds of that figure are estimated to be caused by Fentanyl.
- Fentanyl precursor chemicals originate in China, then shipped to Mexico to create a final product.
- Fentanyl, due to its incredibly high potency, as well as its chemical makeup, is incredibly affordable and, unfortunately for U.S. border security, easy to traffic,
- Fentanyl is approximately 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin as an analgesic.
- in fiscal year 2023 alone, CBP (Border Patrol) has seized over 20,000 pounds of Fentanyl coming across the Southwest Border – enough to kill over 4.6 billion people.
- Fentanyl mixed with Xylazine is an emerging threat in the U.S., because Xylazine, an animal tranquilizer, can be life-threatening and is especially dangerous when combined with opioids like Fentanyl.
- internationally, the United States needs to continue to bolster strong relations with China and Mexico in order to protect human lives.
Therefore:
The Alameda County Republican Party Central Committee demand that the Biden Administration
- close the U. S. Southern Border,
- bolster strong relations with China and Mexico, and
- hold all financial institutions, hedge funds, private equity firms and multinational corporations accountable for the crime of money laundering to stop the massive influx of deadly Fentanyl.
