I bet if we legalized drugs and turned all the narcs into la migra that we could catch and deport 12 million.
The "war on drugs" is the single largest waste of money in the history of law enforcement. Billions of dollars are spent every year in an effort criminalize addiction. The laws don't stop people from using or buying. Want to wipe out gangs? Legalize drugs. Want to solve prison overcrowding? Legalize drugs. Prohibition didn't stop alcohol abuse, and it won't stop drug abuse.
Not all drugs, just marijuana.
