We saw just earlier last year, two sisters who went across the border, I assume at the behest of the cartel, and come back into Maricopa county with 850,000 pills. In the time I've been in office, The estimate of the number of pills that contain a fatal dosage has gone from six out of ten, and this is by the DEA, not mine, to seven out of ten.
