I am extremely glad that these individuals are on the bottom of the ocean because they have been poisoning our streets, towns, our communities, and killing our family and our friends and our loved ones. Last year, 66,500 individuals across the United States died of drug overdoses that these criminals, these terrorist organizations are bringing into our country. In the Vietnam War, the US lost over 57,000 individuals. So yes, we've lost more last year alone to the poison that these cartels are flooding our streets with than we did in the entire Vietnam War.
