True. Walls will slow down illegal immigration, but it can’t stop airlines, boats and paid off agents from smuggling drugs and cartel members.


So what??

Sounds like just another terrible, interventionist idea...to deal with a black market crime problem.


Agree. It's been shown repeatedly it doesn't work as intended

The harsh penalties (even though Trump acts like we don't punish drug dealers) are part of what drives the profits so high.


Yep. Higher risk = more profit and violence.

If you wanted an ideal answer, I believe the United States could damage the cartels immensely by legalizing the very things we criminalize that they engage in, mainly drugs and prostitution. The latter may happen but the former never will imo. So what's the alternative then in the real world?

There is no working alternative, which is what makes legalization so painfully obvious. Not many people would say Portugal has a worse drug problem than us, nor holland having a prostitution problem worse than our own.

Haha, yeah.
We’ve only been told that they’ve been doing exactly that about a million times before.
