Reaction: Mexico's drug crisis

How do you think the United States should handle the violence on the Mexican border? Do you think this violence will affect the U.S. immigration policy? Should this conflict take priority over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan because of its proximity?

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.

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.

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]

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]

immigration is not the issue being addressed here.

[jadebrew]

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

[WorldTravelTV]

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.

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.
