Your refugees are not illegals, they have protected status. Its the refugees you need to get rid of first.
Roger in here acting like Dems haven't perverted refugee status the past 4 years and just let everyone in even if they did not qualify for asylum and skipped other countries on their way here which you aren't supposed to do if you are seeking asylum.

For such a "successful" guy you sure whine about uneducated Mexicans fricking up your life.
You seem very insecure.

40 years and over a trillion dollars spent to win the war in drugs.
These people absolutely do not understand cause/effect.
Anyone who still thinks the war on drugs is winnable needs to have their voting rights stripped, along with the Ukraine bros.

They don't see that putting tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods is screwing ourselves. It's not like slapping a tariff on Chinese made plastic knick knacks, etc. . We rely on Canada and Mexico for oil. Mexico for produce ( forget the alcohol) as well as seasonal labor moving back and forth across the border to help pick the food.
I wonder if they realize that even with the preferred trading arrangement with both, US manufacturing has increased by 40% over the last 30 years. We've been producing auto parts and finished autos out of Ontario for 70 years. Half of the upper Midwest and Mid Atlantic as well as NewEngland's power grid starts in Canada. North America has a fully integrated economy where EVERYONE wins

Roger is mad cause he will have less of his govy stimmy to spend on extra whip Fraps
Roger is mad because he is in 60s and will have to keep his hourly job until the day he dies. He has no way to ever retire and it pisses him off.
Even a slight increase in his grocery bill has a big impact on him so he would rather us keep the current ways as long as he doesn't have to spend $1 more at the Dollar General.
Very selfish of him.

No they do not. They dont have any formal education and believe retarded influencers.
Hurting Mexican trade will mean more mexicans in the USA. This is what they dont have the capacity to understand. These people move back and forth, and most dont swim the rio grand but come on Visas and overstay.

Exactly. Even with unbalanced trade, its still a massive benefit for Americans, particularly small business.
MAGA does not understand conservative economics. They only understand central planning.

The legal stuff like Oxycontin , etc replaced heroin for a while until drug dealers saw that there was an ever increasing market for opiates that Perdue alone could not meet.....enter the Colombians and Peruvian along with Afghans and Thai/ Burmese types.
Then there was plenty enough to go around....and apparently cheap too

Explain in detail "conservative economics"
Then explain "Liberal economics"
Then explain "progressive economics."
Lets see if you understand anything youre talking about.

That’s about as clueless as can be. Worrying about shortages of specific products over worrying about lives lost to crime and drugs coming in from Mexico. And it’s sad that somewhere you have a responsibility for others

Here goes the media, trying to get people emotional, so that they'll bitch without actually thinking logically.

Tariffs will get you more Mexicans coming here to work.
When their homegrown industry is hurt, they will just come here like they usually do, then overstay their visa.
Trumps plans will result in more Mexicans seeking work here, this isnt opinion.

Replaced by Oxy
This made it from doctors offices to the streets. That’s big pharma, not street level pharmacy (originally). In short, Oxy doesn’t work for your post.

fentanyl
potentially makes sense, but wasn’t it introduced via heroin?

Just shows you that many Doctors are no better than street dealers. They made a fortune off of it.
Now you cant get pain meds, and people are having to turn to the street.
In a 100 Billion dollar industry, youre going to find suppliers and new designer drugs constantly entering the market.

Did you read the OP?
Look slightly above my typing, you'll see that the OP was absolutely talking about drugs.
If you cant read, let me know and I'll try to explain another way.

While true, the illegal drug trade didn’t create Oxy.
In short, the replacement for heroin was not from the streets.
As for fentanyl, the question remains…if heroin wasn’t on the streets, would fentanyl be there now?

Doesnt matter who created it.
The market will always outsmart regulators and there will always be a supply, albeit more dangerous than the drugs we try to stop.
Suppliers are not going anywhere, they'll just put on another hat and raise another flag.

Other ppl clapped and my 8 yr old daughter clapped back saying "I'm proud that my daddy cares more about women not getting raped in this country by illegal aliens than the price of Mexican avocados, most of which we already grow here in California. I know you're just a barista but that should not stop you from getting informed about the realities of our situation and not what you're brainwashed into believing from the community college you attend."
While I applaud the message, no 8 year old ever said this…
