Unless you are one of the people spending the so-called $50 billion on drugs where are you going to get your $50 billion, because those people are going to out spend you each and every time. Capitalism is after all the American way you know, markets in the end dictate policy. BTW Just how does militarizing the border in any way curb the desire for any banned substance?

Good idea, 4Freedom. However, we can't keep drugs out of maximum-security prisons now. Militarization won't work, because people themselves are broken. You can always find someone to bribe. If supply were cut, then prices would rise, further increasing profits for the smugglers. They, in turn, would have more money with which to bribe the border guards. Just won't work.
