Laws and events that occurred in the past affect things now. Politicians did nothing to slow drugs from entering our nation. Yeah, we had/have the Coast Guard make a stop here and there and other events. And in the mean time millions of men and women arrested and many dead from using drugs. Decades of inaction from them. We all have personal interests. Many have family and relatives who have suffered from drug usage and affecting their lifestyles. Drugs must be attacked in real terms and it may be multi faceted. And many come through the southern border as well as other points of entry. We became a slovenly and selfish people and we suffer the results of it now even as we live better then the past to some extent.The wall is just a start.Build a wall around it
have Mexico pay for it
and see if makes you feel safer
I'm well aware of that. Which is why it's so important we halt this fascist insanity now.
There's a very clear connection between the stupidity of the "drug war" and the desire for a wall. Both are delusional and hinge on laws that don't acknowledge reality. The reality is that people, many people, in the US want drugs, and they want Mexican immigrants. That's why both are here, regardless of authoritarian attempts to prevent it.
Statists become enamored with the idea that government can solve social problems by passing laws, but usually it doesn't work. For the most part, people are going to do what they want regardless of the law. Laws only work to codify behavior that the overwhelming majority have already adopted. That's why it's so stupid to pass laws that pursue significant social change without a real consensus behind them. 51% just won't cut it.
