Good article! If comprehensive immigration reform is going to be successful, it must make the distinction between the criminal drug cartels, the immigrants who only want to work and the human traffickers.
The drug lords are making billions and not paying one cent in taxes. The traffickers are making billions and not paying taxes.
If they can be stopped at the northern & southern borders, the US will be a safer place and on it’s way to a workable immigration policy.
The notable victory of the drug war must be acknowledeged. The oversight of drug users successfully switched from juristiction of the medical community to law enforcement with the passing of the 1914 Harrison Act. The selling point? The alarming fact that it was perceived that 1.4 % of Americans were addicted to drugs. Just over a trillion dollars of law enforcement efforts has decreased the level of addiction in our communities -0.1%
Should we really be thinking of handing drug users back over to the medical community when we all have benefitted from generations of such prowess from law enforcement?
Did any of you drug promoters experience those flashbacks they promised you in the 60’s?
Do any of you actually work in responsible positions, operate heavy machinery, supervise or teach young kids?
Do you think your boss and the people who’s lives depend on your actions would approve of your unrestricted drug use? Even if you just get high at night (and presumbly drive home from wherever you’re doing drugs), your performance the next day is impaired.
Liberal socialists just want the potential tax revenue for more failed social programs and could care less about who gets harmed by uncontrolled mind altering chemicals, natural or not. Very progressive, in a selfish, mindless sort of way………
