Fentanyl producers in Mexico should be killed. So too should human traffickers and drug smugglers on the U.S.-Mexico border. Shoplifters should be shot. Drug dealers and rapists? Executed.
Some Republican contenders for their party's 2024 presidential nomination have turned to a blunt policy proposal to tamp down on crime: killing criminals.
Crime, meanwhile, is a greater concern for voters than it has been in previous elections, even as crime trends are mixed.in the United States in 2022 from the previous year, according to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation this week. At the same time, property crime and aggravated assault were up, while the 21,156 murders reported in 2022 were above pre-pandemic levels.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump's top challenger, has said repeatedly he would authorize deadly force against suspected smugglers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, leaving them "stone-cold dead."to kill narcotics kingpins involved in the trade of the synthetic opioid fentanyl that is fueling a deadly drug crisis in America. He and several other contenders have signaled they are also open to sending special forces into Mexico, the U.S.
"Unlike the other candidates' mere talk, Ron DeSantis has delivered results on law and order issues," said DeSantis campaign press secretary Bryan Griffin.
