more reasons for a border wall

[jonrick46]

The drugs from Mexico are causing the gun violence in our cities. Der Hildebeast wants more gun control. I say, drug control!!! Elect Trump and build the wall!

Give it away free in clinics and all drug crime disappears. Take the profit out of drugs

Islamic heroin was not mentioned in this article when production in the Middle East region is not just about making money, it’s about destroying western culture or at least changing it for the worst.

The enemy is within our gates and it is those who are allowing and supporting the destruction of our youth. We know who they are and for 8 years or more they know what they are doing and so do thier supporters and controllers outside of this country

Been going to New Mexico for many years and over that time have developed allot of friends. What they tell us about the damage drugs and alcohol have done to the small town life in that state is very sad. Several of my friends are Elders on the Apache Reservation outside Ruidoso and they’ve given up on keeping Heroin off the Res. It’s destroying their youth!

Hell, look what gov’t did in Colorado, etc., they legalized pot, it still costs $80 for a quarter [ounce], same as the old street price. Now, the profit goes to the government instead of the dealer. Although hobby dealers in non-legalized states I would imagine would prefer to control their clientele to known persons only, to reduce their risk.

I could not help but notice the emphasis in the story was not on interdiction at the border but on “funding to combat heroin and opiate-based prescription pain killer abuse” and stopping the smugglers 100 miles north of the border.

Close the border down, with troops if necessary, and the problem will lessen. Not cease but it will lessen.

One caveat though, if troops are brought in for border control, be prepared for not only casualties but stories in the press and from the open borders politicians about the poor poor Mexican kiddies, refugees, workers and other poor souls wounded and killed by the mean old American troops.

Fed officials say heroin coming in big from Mexico?

That’s racist! That’s bigoted! These Fed officials must be Trump supporters - maybe they even want America to be great again - who knows?

Nothing but rainbows and unicorns come here from south of (what used to be) the border!

Yet Mexico wants to improve it’s image here in the USA.

Which comedian said “Dollar for dollar heroin is still your best deal in drugs”?

[Yaelle]

After having read about the Bush (Clinton played his part) cocaine $$, I actually wanted to apologize to Maxine Waters. She was right. We laughed at her claiming the CIA was drugging the kids in her community. It was a ridiculous blaming charge. And yet it was correct.

Mexico cartels know pot will soon be legal in a lot of places here. So they switch to heroin already. And yes, it is true, there is PUSHING. There is such a thing as flooding cities with drugs, and weak, disenfranchised kids of all kinds will give it a go. Education would be easier if there was enough time, which might be possible after the wall.
