Sure there’s lots of ways to stop it.

1) Start giving druggies harsh prison sentences.
2) Build the @#^%&$ fence already.
3) Massive deportations.
4) Serious fines and prison sentences for employers, landlords, and mayor’s of sanctuary cities.
5) Stop all government freebies.

“Sure there’s lots of ways to stop it.

We already do that compared to most western countries. It doesn’t really do much good. We have more people locked up than any other country in the world as well as the world’s highest per capita incarceration rate. We set new records in this regard every year. Our prisons are bursting at the seams and it’s costing us a fortune maintaining all these facilities and building new ones we’ll just pack full in no time so we’ll have to add even more beds. We couldn’t go a whole lot harder on druggies even if it would be a good idea to do so.

“2) Build the @#^%&$ fence already.”

That will reduce the number of illegals coming here for work, but it wouldn’t really do much to the drug trade. The demand is too high and there is too much money to be made. The drugs will find their way in. Shoot, drugs find their way into prisons. We aren’t going to stop drugs from coming in or being produced here.

“3) Massive deportations.”

Okay, but that’s not going to keep the drugs from flowing. It might change some of the players, but the game will go on.

4) Serious fines and prison sentences for employers, landlords, and mayor’s of sanctuary cities.

That may help with the illegal alien problem, but it wouldn’t make a hill of beans in the drug problem.

“5) Stop all government freebies.”

Maybe that might make some people think twice about wasting their lives with drugs, but it certainly wouldn’t do anything to stop the flow of drugs.
