But...but...but...that would be racist. /sarc

The are three outcomes of this border/drug war.

We continue in this morass and watch the Constitution and national sovereignty go up in flames.

We make narcotics trafficking a life offense, no probation, parole, no appeals, no chit. But again, that would be racist. The social justice groups say so.

Or we legalize it all and defund the cartels and street gangs that have effectively “occupied” the US, in numbers well over a million.

We make narcotics trafficking a life offense, no probation, parole, no appeals, no chit.

Traffickers now face a real threat of death - from competitors and twitchy customers - yet there is no shortage of traffickers nor of replacements for those who do fall.

Or we legalize it all and defund the cartels and street gangs that have effectively “occupied” the US, in numbers well over a million.

Now yer talkin'. That was the least bad solution to the problems caused by alcohol Prohibition, and it's the least bad solution to the analogous problems caused by today's prohibition of other drugs.

All that would end up doing is increasing the price of drugs further.
