I'm not so sure we're losing every battle any more. Right after 9-11, people started saying that drugs were filling up warehouses in Juarez and then they started saying that to lower the amounts, they were being sold cheap on that side. Now it's reported that cocaine use in Mexico is up 700% and 75% of their school students have used drugs.
It's fine with me if they suffer the consequences of the drugs they push instead of us. Violent crime rates in Juarez are extremely high ---but in El Paso are very low. I won't say "nothing" is being done.
Did that have any measurable effect on overall U.S. supplies? If not, we're still losing every battle.
