And our borders are still open
That is insane. We need to protect our borders and we need to deport illegal aliens and be far more selective about legal immigrants.
First thing first: Border Fence.
The problem with drugs is supply and demand. We always demand, thus there will be supply.
Having drugs illegal, forces them onto the black market, where criminal scum control everything.
Human nature dictates drug use, some people have in their genes a desire to use and enjoy mind consuming products, thus this issue will never go away.
Simple solution: Legalize drugs. Government can tax, and distribute. Cartels lose their money, and control of their enterprises; and criminal scum are out of business.
Making drugs legal will not turn everyone into a drug addict. That is stupid un-educated government propaganda.
Alcohol is legal and everyone is not an alcoholic.
If an addict commits a crime, they go to jail. Same as the alcoholic. The addict should not go to jail for simply having drugs. Stupid.
So called Conservatives claim to want to conserve American values; outlawing an individuals decision to decide what he/she can consume is a total lack of liberty or freedom.
As for Hezbollah. They are part of the Lebanese government, they are not going away. They have always had a reach into this country, and will continue to do so as long some countries in the world support them.
Israel should have been allowed to Annihilate them in 2006. We should have annihilated them in 80’s.
