If the Constitution is silent on something, that power is left to the States or the people. Period.

It required a constitutional amendment to outlaw alcohol in the first place. You want to outlaw drugs at the federal level? Change the constitution.

Exactly. The Constitution is silent on pot. But most states have outlawed it. Which is their right under the Constitution.

The Federal Government, however, MUST protect the nation from invasion. It’s one of their few enumerated jobs. The Constitution could not be clearer on that.

Armed, hostile, shoot-to-kill narco armies penetrating the border via midnight sneak, tunnels, or army vehicle convoy is an invasion. What else would you call it?

The states are not empowered to repel a foreign invasion. Only the Federal government can — and must. Again, the Constitution could not be clearer on that.
