This is old news. Fox has already caved to USA pressure and sent it back to their Congress for a rewrite.

[TightyRighty]

Good. Now maybe they'll go back.

This will become a huge disaster, increasing illicit traffic across the border dramatically.

Pay attention, libertarians: Mexico will be uninhabitable within a few years.

That loud crash you just heard was the Libertarians jumping to the other side of the immigration debate...

Mexico has passed a sweeping bill legalizing the possession of small quantities of almost all illegal drugs, including heroin and cocaine.

The regime, likely to be one of the most liberal in the world, is designed to avoid clogging prisons with drug addicts, allowing police to go after big-time dealers.

This makes plenty of sense. Maybe on the next reform they can legalize small amounts of rape and murder which will free up the el copo's to go after the big-time rapists and serial and mass murderers.

If this passes, it will be (another) excellent reason--and excuse (as though we needed one)--for fortifying the border, stationing the armed forces along the U.S.-Mexico border, and scrutinizing those crossing the border into the U.S. as stringently as people are screened before bordering air planes.

This should be done not only to prevent the importation of drugs but also the immigration of terrorists and their weapons and potential weapons.

I dont believe in filling jails with drug addicts either. I am in favor of having police make anyone caught with drugs eat whatever drugs they are caught with and then going home.

[A CA Guy]

Fox vetoed this Libertarian/Drug Lords bill of possession rights.

[MadIvan]

I have a suggestion. Since President Fox appears to want to dump his unemployment problem on America through illegal immigration, perhaps America should dump the illegal drug use problem on Mexico by encouraging addicts to go there.

If that doesn't smarten up old Vincente about rectifying the problems with the border, nothing will.

This will stop arrests for small timers and the Mexican cops will now have to look elsewhere for their bribe money. They will still be arresting people, just not as many dope users.

[Biblebelter]

Bush will twist his buddy Vincente's arm to not see this bill passed. Such a bill would make it tougher for the pols to pass amnesty and keep border enforcement as it is which is extremely ineffective. The bill would allow all illegals to become independent drug contractors as opposed to the present system which is gang controlled. Illegal immigrants could finance their excursion into the US by carrying a little dope to defray costs.
