Legalize it and take their profits and motivation away

How does legalizing it take away the profits and motivation? Are there less liquor stores and drunks now that Prohibition ended? Do liquor companies not make any profit? Why should the Mexican government make it's money drugging the US?

It doesn't completely remove profits, but it sharply reduces them---and puts them in the hands of legitimate businessmen rather than criminals.
