"I'm kind of with Once-Ler on this. People act as though drugs wouldn't exist but for illegal aliens. The true fact of the matter is though that as long as there is a demand for these drugs, people are going to get them some way or another. Whether the guys selling meth in this case where illegal aliens is really irrelevant. If it wasn't foreigners doing it then it would have been a bunch of local born white guys. That's who sells 99% of the meth where I live."

"Totally untrue. Methamphetamine manufacture has exploded in the last decade and Mexicans are so often involved in it. In labs in the USA and imports from Mexico. The easy availability of meth has created more customers. Makes it easier to yield to temptation."

I suppose it's the damned Mexicans who have made meth so popular in Hawaii. I suppose it's the Mexicans who made it so popular all through rural America and in small towns everywhere where they have few or no Mexicans. Look Dennis, you won't get any argument from me on the fact that Mexicans are involved with large scale meth operations bringing meth over the border and even cooking it out on the west coast and along the border states. There are probably Mexicans involved in it all over the place. But that doesn't change the _fact_ that it's regular old white guys who are the ones around here and in small towns across America who are the ones always getting busted cooking and selling the stuff. Easily 19 out of 20 times when people are busted for meth here it's local white guys. It wasn't Mexicans who got all of these people started on it. They did it to themselves.

Why do some people have such an irrepressible need to blame someone else for all of their problems?

I'm on the west coast, and our papers are filled with story after story of white guys making meth. Banning has moved up the rankings to become the new capital, last I heard, but before that it was the San Gabriel Valley (home of the Rose Parade) that had homes blowing up over and over again.

In the list of convicted drug dealers that the papers occasionally publish, it appears the names reflect Caucasians. I've also never heard any of my sheriff deputy customers mention Mexicans as being involved in the meth trade - usually it is in distributing crank and crack. A couple seconds on Google seems to support this conclusion unless there is a vast underreporting of Mexicans being involved in meth labs.
