Why did we end prohibition? Because apparently we were empowering a massive criminal infrastructure, we couldn't curb demand for alcohol, and we couldn't get one tax dollar from the sale of illegal booze. What is different here? If I am not mistaken americans sent 50 billion dollars out of this country for the purchase of illagal drugs last year. That's more revenue than Microsoft, Cisco and Intel combined. Where does this US currency go? Is it kept in a shoebox in Columbia? Is it in a large sock somewhere in Peru? No, it is laundered through various small independent banks and then is filitered through corrupt international credit banks back to the USA. Why? Because this is the only place you can spend US dollars.

Let's spend the $50 billion militarizing the border and then let's see these scum get their filth in here.
