Militarize the border, that stops the drugs and can be done easily. But then the extra federal $ for overtime, drug intervention, healthcare for addicts, rehab hospitals that make millions in profits will all go away. Follow the money, drugs ( illegal and legal) support a large infrastructure here in the US that depend on that "problem". Think about it.As far as the immigration, we give them too many handouts. Try immigrating to MEX and try to get gov't assistance.... it does not exist. The illegals learn from the ones that are here how to stay under the radar. Deportation is revolving door, jails too full to detain them.
@Steven H: Yes, I have often wondered how many of our systems illegal immigration "helps". Do you feel a grassroots effort to push politicians to change the way it is set up could help or is this desire to stop illegal immigration water under the bridge. Thank you.
