AND in what world is Flint's drinking water more of an emergency than illegal immigration and the drug trade, no matter the context?!? ?

The world where people don't have clean drinking water in the greatest country in that world

Because the illegal drug trade and illegal immigration aren't things you can solve by declaring them a national emergency. Those are things that aren't going away anytime soon no matter what.


If you want to eliminate the illegal drug trade as much as possible legalize all drugs and let the free market play the course. The cartels will die out.

If you want to stop illegal immigration as much as possible go to the source. Start giving out mandatory 5 year minimums for hiring an illegal immigrant and I gaurantee people will be rudhing back to Mexico cause they can't find work. Stop punishing the poor. Start punishing the people who are exploiting them.
