Mexico isn't bad, it only produces the drugs, but America is the one that consumes it!!! So when U.S. stops being such a drug addict, Mexico will stop producing drugs, and all of this violence will stop.

Drug cartels exist all over the world Russia, Italy, Mexico. South America You north Americans all raicist bastards go fuck yourselves. NO ONE is perfect no fucken country is God certainly not the USA and not Mexico. Mexico brings in all the reach white europeans NOT blacks those infiltrate all over earth like mushrooms. So mexicans are all that bad go fuck your mothers and then live in Mexico so you put your stinking foot in your mouth. there is bad and good in every fucken mad people.

The U.S is not fighting the AMERICAN CARTELS ..... in the U.S ..... americans think that Mexicans are dealing with the drug business in their territory ..... SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE.... THEY ARE AMERICANS. NO ARREST DURING OBAMA 'S ADMINISTRATION ..... NO MAYOR IMPORTANT DRUG LORDS HAVE BEEN ARRESTED... ONLY LITTLE DRUG DEALERS.... SO HYPOCRITE!

Thats why they should make drugs legal and have our government regulate all drugs kids can get drugs easier then alchohol i mean come on do you ever watch the commercials for these prescription drugs and id rather have the government and some stores controling these drugs and not cartels and gangs but make it illegal to have any hard drugs in the house if you have kids and let CPS deal with it not our officers and they will get cought like everyone does by word of mouth

[YoMightBe]

The only problem is that it being illegal is causing more harm to the people then being legal and how is trying to run peoples personel lives civilized you can drink this or take this pill or smokethat cig but dont do that weed or you can only marry a woman or no you can not sell your body for money to live bc we made it imposible to live without money unless you know how to hunt and make your own shelter i think we can deal with these issues other ways then jail where u can get raped killd beat

Secure the border and target the cartels business fronts for money laundering.Within USA a campaign of not taking drugs should be made part of the culture.Getting movie stars, sport stars to be honest examples in showing that drugs are wise or acceptable in a good society.Liberals try and justify it

[razzer321]

I agree to some point that people have the freedom to choose.But if they break the law they can't use that as a excuse.Which alot of defenses in court are put forward that it was the substances that contributed to the breaking of the law.I believe in changing the culture of America and not making more laws to stop drug use.People will do what they want ,but laws are what keeps America civilised.

[Hawaii2DaRanch]

I like your call on targeting the cartels business fronts, and hope Obama and Calderon have talked about it. But people are going to do drugs, it's really our right to put whatever we want into our bodies, and prohibiting that freedom never works as well as regulation, and control. Peace
