We could win the War on Drugs in six months.
Shut down the Mexican border.
But there’s no money to be made in that.
And you better believe it, that’s why a forty year useless war is still being fought.
PRay your house isn’t the mistaken address for the next testosterone laden SWAT team no-knock warrant.
Bingo
If you shut down the Mexican border, the drugs will merely come in by some other route, like say container ships. Or perhaps those home-made submarines.
There’s no end to ingenuity when there’s money to be made.
If you shut down the Mexican border, the drugs will come in via Canada.
If you shut down both the Canadian and Mexican borders, the drugs will come in through our ports. (Remember the Jamaican drug gangs from the ‘80s bringing their cocaine in via Miami?)
If you shut down the Canadian/Mexican borders *AND* our ports, Americans will just make/grow it here. (Like all the marijuana growers with hidden plots in our national parks.)
You’d have to shut down all our borders, close our ports, and institute internal border controls to even make a dent. And in that case, how much different would that be compared to the bad old days of the Soviet Union?
That Amerika isn’t anything I want to live in.
