Mexico is “safer than the United States,” Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador declared in an impassioned response to growing criticism from Washington this week.
by denying that his country has played a role in America’s growing fentanyl abuse crisis, Democratic lawmakers are pressing the State Department to issue a warning about pills laced with the deadly synthetic opioid sold by Mexican pharmacies to unsuspecting Americans who travel across the border looking for cheaper medication.
A separate investigation by the Los Angeles Times found that 71% of the 17 pills it tested from Mexican drugstores, or 12 of them, came back positive for more powerful drugs. Investigators found tainted pills in key destinations for Americans such as Tijuana, Cabo San Lucas and nearby San Jose del Cabo.
