Reaction: Mexico's drug crisis

[voteDRNO]

decriminalize drugs problem solved

[njattack]

Your just a whining cowardly wet taco.

Mexico has problems because Mexicans are too COWARDLY to fight for their country. They want everyone else to do the dirty work.

By putting the U.S. military on the border with orders to shoot the spics dead accomplishes two goals: 1) It will force Mexicans to fight for their own country & stop being cowards. 2) U.S. has laws that are to be obeyed. We Americans demand those laws be obeyed by whatever it takes. For spics, it is the point of a gun.

All you idiots calling for a legalization of pot need to stop. It won't happen, ever. The society in the United States is one set where such an actual radical change will require a mindset change. Then after pot is legalized, are you going to legalize cocaine, methaphamine, ecstasy, etc..?

I say send in the National Guard, inspect and secure our borders going into both directions, help restructure the Mexican gov.

They are ideas which are feasible right now but have never been played out.

[jadebrew]

I agree. I'm not in favor of making pot legal.  Just what we need, more people walking around brainless...

continued from previous comment...

By fighting a war on drugs the government has increased the problems of society and made them far worse. A system of regulation rather than prohibition is a less harmful, more ethical and a more effective public policy.

LEAP - Law Enforcement Against Prohibition

Founded on March 16, 2002, LEAP is made up of current and former members of law enforcement who believe the existing drug policies have failed in their intended goals of addressing the problems of crime, drug abuse, addiction, juvenile drug use, stopping the flow of illegal drugs into this country and the internal sale and use of illegal drugs.

The real problem is that the US is not interested at all on ending the drug-multimillion dollar business. 90% of all weaponry, bulletproof equipment, nightvision,etc comes from the US, 90% of drugs end up in the US. So get some fuking responsability & stop the blaming.

Organized crime already controls top federal police crime, most of them are ex army, so the if US thinks this is only a Mexican problem? Their getting one heck of a surprise when drug carters start penetrating US officials w/ $

[unwashablebrain]

the best way to take power out of the cartels hands is to legalize and regulate. obviously we shouldn't legalize heroin or cocaine, but if we legalized pot, it would take much of the wind out of the cartels sails. in turn their income would suffer, making it much easier for both governments to reign these druglords in.

The only solution to stop the drugs, human smuggling and illegal aliens is to station the U.S. military on the border. Eisenhower did this in 1954. The military will shoot dead any and all illegal aliens trying to enter the U.S.

Any other solution is nonsense.

[chavadonda]

immigration is not the issue being addressed here.

[njattack]

Yes it is. Mexico, drugs, human smuggling. It's all contraband and it's all tied together.

Wherever contraband goes so do illegal aliens.

As long as the corrupt U.S. politcians refuse to put the U.S. military on the border, they refuse to stop the contraband.

Eisenhower stopped it in 1954. He put the military on the border and anyone crossing was shot dead. That's the only solution that works. That's the solution that is needed now. Anything else is nonsense.

[chavadonda]

Do you think illegal aliens are going to want to go near the border?!!! Hell no!

The contraband goes to drug dealers on the streets of America, whether its, Hollywood, Chicago, or East LA!

In this case, if we have to come up with a solution, we need to station troops on both sides of the border, to keep people from going in and out illegaly.

[njattack]

Of course they will. That's one reason the military is going to be stationed because hundreds of thousands of Mexicans will try to seek refuge in the U.S.

Not only must the U.S. military be stationed on the border they must also SHOOT DEAD any and all illegals trying to enter the U.S. Eisenhower did this in 1954. It's time to do it again.

Force is the only solution that works. Force is the only language Mexicans understand.

[EvilchurchdOc]

Legalize and regulate the drug trade, it is the only way. Sending more federal agencies is only going to lead to more bloodshed on both sides. The answer to the violence and the economic issue is staring you right in the face! This is a multi-billion dollar industry that is untaxed and unregulated. Just do it already.

[camo3415]

I agree with levelorange....

[camo3415]

we should allow mexico to handle their border problem, and we will handle ours(oh, I forgot we're the world's police). there will always be demand for drugs, and for mrs. clinton to put the blame for this on the U.S. citizens for wanting drugs is a complete joke.... how about we just throw money at the problem like we always do....

[thebchbys]

gee...what would happen if happen if pot was legalized? Maybe much less cartel fighting?

[nekbeth]

legalize pot? can you even picture a society having drugs at any time, any place on the street? Believe me buddy, if you had a daughter.. they would rape her at daylight. Legalizing drugs is a free ticket to chaos.

The real problem is that the US is not interested at all on ending the drug-multimillion dollar business. 90% of all weaponry, bulletproof equipment, nightvision,etc comes from the US, 90% of the drugs end up in the US. So get some fuking responsability & stop the blame

[LevelOrange]

nobody said legalize drugs, the only actual solution
