Why is anybody surprised by this?? The southern border with Mexico is where 90% of the controlled substances not available by prescription come from. At least 3 out of 4 police officers around the country is employed in the name of the War on Drugs, 2/3 of our Courthouses are for the War on Drugs, what about the DEA, and a whole assortment of government agencies solely committed to the War on Drugs.
If we actually had REAL Border Security, 80% of ALL GOVERNMENT would not be needed anymore. What will these people do? All they know is the War on Drugs, how will the CIA get their funding?? WHo would we give weapons to if we didn’t have the cartel’s? Do you think we will abandon the Police State we have created?? Civil Asset Forfeiture??
we are talking about MILLIONS of Government employees becoming unemployed overnight. You Can Not have a War on Drugs without Drugs. We need this WAR ON DRUGS more than most people will admit to themselves.
THE BORDER WILL NEVER BE CLOSED, way too much Money and Power for Government to just WIN by Closing the Border.
Secure the border, the drug and gang problem vanishes virtually overnight.
The prison-law enforcement industrial complex has spoken.
