The wall should reduce some of the mexican drug smuggling into the US as well.
Shouldn’t we declare war on Mexico if Mexico’s cartels are waging war against us?
Mexico’s involvement in the illicit drug trade in the United States:
Marijuana: Mexico is the *number one* foreign supplier of marijuana to the United States, and marijuana is thought to be the top revenue generator for Mexican drug cartels.
Cocaine: Mexico does not produce cocaine, however, Mexican cartels move Columbian cocaine through South and Central America and into the United States. An estimated *93* percent of cocaine headed to the US from South America moves through Mexico.
Methamphetamine: Mexico remains the *biggest* foreign supplier of methamphetamine to the United States, and Mexican drug cartels set up labs to manufacture meth on both sides of the border, controlling labs in Southern California as well as domestically.
Heroin: While Asia and the Middle East remain the biggest producers of heroin, Mexican black-tar and brown heroin is on the rise. In fact, 39 percent of heroin identified under the DEA’s Heroin Signature Program (HSP) in 2008 came from Mexico, making Mexico the source country for many of the heroin abusers west of the Mississippi River.
Mexico’s government and the drug cartels work hand-in-hand in drug and human trafficking into our country.
Declare war on Mexico. Polk was right. Pershing, Patton ... all right.
Standing orders to Border Patrol should be: “Suspected Mexican cartel mules on American soil? Shoot on sight.”
If they want to shoot back, bring back one or two of our legions from the other side of the world being used to protect the borders of some lousy Arab -stan.
