The War on Drugs depends on an Open Border with Mexico, without Open Borders the Drug War is over. Put up the Wall and watch what happens. Now you know why there is so much pushback against the wall, there ere literally Tens of Millions of Government Employee Union Member Jobs on the line.
You Can NOT have a War on Drugs without Drugs.

Lets not forget that the Fen is coming in from China via USPS and shipping. Which they lace the Mex and M.E. Cocaine/Heroin with. I’ve heard of cases they spray it on Weed when they water. And the China crap is more potent than the US FDA Approved stuff stolen or fraud scripted. Nor do I buy the addicts are injuring dogs for pain meds. I’ve paid enough Vet bills to know that they are by weight and 5 days at most and VERY expensive. A injury visit is $300 and up, Vets are quicker to report suspected animal abuse than Dr’s are child abuse. Even my 12 lb Morkie who takes a allergy med, that med is $60 a month. My Claritin is not that expensive.
