I agree. Alaska is hugely effected by the narcotics coming across that border with Mexico.
Actually I had the opportunity to work on a tender in the Sitka herring fishery. We delivered the fish to a floating processor ship. And guess who was working there? Mexicans, nothing but Mexicans.
Years ago Alaska was finding illegal Mexicans working in canneries; they are in every state at this point. 20 years ago illegal Mexicans were rare in the NYC metro area (we had tons of Hispanic illegals, but Mexicans were rare). They are everywhere now.
