They're BOTH on the drug cartels' payroll! Bingo!
In Afghanistan we are funding both sides of the war because of our domestic consumption of drugs. In Mexico we have created a narco state with our insatiable demand for drugs. We have also created a demand for illegal immigrants with our suicidal policies that fund coyotes and drug cartels who are nimble entrepreneurs in the business of smuggling humans.
Our drug policy has turned Mexico into a narco state and made it fatuous to believe that the Mexicans can stop either drugs or immigrants even if they wanted to, and they don't.
We can send tens of thousands of soldiers along the border or we can legalize drugs in America. Neither party will let us do either. Until we do at least one, we will make no real or permanent progress.
We will not solve the immigration problem as long as Mexico is a narco state.
We will never solve the drug problem as long as drugs are illegal.
If we do not solve the immigration and drugs problem we will not be in a condition to contend with China.
We can send tens of thousands of soldiers along the border or we can legalize drugs in America.
I disagree. We can do the following:
- End Birthright Citizenship and all the financial benefits that go with it.....that’s the biggest draw....fat Maria with 2 kids in tow and one on the way could care less about the Sinaloa Cartel cooking meth by the ton. She wants #3 to be born in a US hospital so the family can get Section 8 housing, food stamps, and everything else, thus anchoring her ENTIRE family back home.
- End the Family Reunification program(see #1)..as family members show up, they’ll have more kids in more US hospitals
- Start taking away all benefits from those that have come here illegally, regardless if they’ve had a kid or not. Start with the most recent ones and work backwards
- Tax any and all remittance going out of the country to any country South of the Border, Africa or the Middle East, at 30%, unless the person can prove they already paid the appropriate taxes and then charge them 10%
- Asylum claims will be not be heard or made in the US. They will be heard in their country of record. They cross over, get caught, next day or two they’re put on a C17, C130, C5, C141 and flown back. If one of the countries are unwilling to let the plane land, then drop the 82nd in and take over the airport.
- When drugs are found and seized at the border, individual(s) are deported the next day, drugs are destroyed as soon as possible, vehicle seized to be sold at auction or crushed and sold as scrap metal...no arrests, no trial, no prison, just sent back. If drug mules are found walking with the stuff, same rules apply. Detained and sent back home.
- The US will advise the Mexican government that they will begin a aerial campaign once processing locations and labs have been located. If they have something to say about it, they’ll get the intel, be given a chance to do something about it, if they don’t then, Bombs Away!!
- End the refugee program, in its entirety(see #1), forever, completely, never again. If folks need help, we can set up an initial location, near their home country after that all funding will be done by donation.
