Criminal illegal aliens are the problem, not the non criminal illegal aliens. And the border crossings are down because the "good people from Central America" that are coming here "for personal reasons" believe they will be captured and deported on entry now.
I would stay away too.
And the criminal illegal alien angle ties in perfectly with this crackdown on marijuana. It's been known for years that marijuana is the money maker that makes moving other drugs profitable. Legalization, or decriminalization, would cut the money flow.
Can you say "asset forfeiture" boys and girls? (which will also impact Americans, not just the foreign cartels/kingpins it was meant to impact)
It doesn't tie in well with the crackdown on states decriminalizing it. As you say "Legalization, or decriminalization, would cut the money flow." As for asset forfeitures, Sessions' reforms seem to me to be restrictions on their implementation not a loosening of their use.
