If you take the unbelievable profit margins that the cheaply built border fence creates and turn it into a very-difficult-to-penetrate wall of steel, drug running suddenly becomes very expensive. You don’t only need a 4X4 to run drugs anymore.

The more pressure you apply to drugs, the more profit you make for the drug cartels.

I'd be in favor of a tough wall on our border, but for reasons other than the scourge of narcotics.

If that is the case, then why aren’t the cartels building walls to keep themselves out of America?

Drug prices remain quite high even though supply is quite easy - simply follow designated routes through the desert on vehicles to a road side meeting and boom, job done. You only have to pay for gas. More product, less seizure, more profit.

I agree that the wall is necessary to keep illegals out. I also think that symbolically the wall being built will induce many illegals to return home.
