"2. Drugs - libertarians are wrong. Drugs ruin individuals, neighborhoods, communities. The lure of easy money means these thug/kids will have zero incentive to learn, study, and try to work a normal job. Plus drug addicts lose their humanity. "
The only reason drug dealers exist is because of drug laws. Making a good illegal creates a black market for that good, which artificially inflates the price and turns control over to bad people with no regulation. It is basic economics.
These violent gangs revolve around selling drugs. If you take away their source of income they will crumble.
I certainly don't advocate drugs, and most individuals will be hurt by using them. That choice should be left up to the individual.
Or get some control over who and what is coming over our borders, get a handle on immigration. Most of these drug dealers and smugglers exist is because the WOD as it's being fought is nothing but a big joke --- no problem at all for the Mexican cartels in getting their truck loads of narcotics over the border and any number of their drug dealers.
They have another source of income --- they've usually got several children around whose mothers collect all kinds of welfare checks -- they can shack up with them and do just fine --- but do you really think they're going to pack up their bags and head back home to Mexico? Do you really think they're suddenly going to try to finish their educations, put on suits and look for jobs that require hard work? They'll find other crimes -- burglary, bank robbery, kidnap for ransom --- that's what they're doing back home in Mexico.
