If we secured our border the problem would presumably dry up Americas thirst for illegal drugs. Maybe it would dry up Mexicans thirst for American soil and corporate Americas thirst for illegal profiits. Securing our border just might solve a lot of problems. Sounds great to me. I'm with you on that.

Didnt mention fence but that would prob. solve 90% of the problem. Couple holes boats and airplanes better than wide open. Build a better mousetrap. Yeah sounds great. Lets do it. Seems billions to the Mex gov is like gas on the fire, not working so well. We should fight this thing on our turf with better border security.
Ah now we shall hear the complaints about LEGAL educated Mexicans...
Why would you think it is a dying country AZBear? Perhaps they are making some needed house cleaning and innocent people are getting caught in the crime wave.
The question should be: Where will Americans get their drugs if Mexico succeeds to shut down the drug cartels?
Ask me if I give a damn!
Aside from marijuana and possibly cocaine: all illicit drugs (especially Meth) shound remain illegal--------and, the dealers/users prosecuted severely.
Good God; Mach50---------you act as if you are grasping at straws here------and what is unknown.

IMO, it would be a blessing if no drugs could enter this country from Mexico (or anywhere). The addicts would just have to detox. Unfortunately, in addition to the Mexican government and the cartels profiting from illicit drug trafficking, there are prominent people in this country who also have their hands in the till. I agree with AzBear….marijuana should be legalized.

Well I think we have a consensus, I knew you were my kind of people .
What? It is known that nearly 80% of the drugs coming into America come through Mexico. Mexico's government is now at war with the cartels.
I am not asking you to mourn anything. If Americans didn't have such a thirst for drugs I doubt Mexico would be in such an ordeal.
Sounds like yoiu Mexicans won't accept the blame for anything. No one forces a drug trafficker to sell drugs, make his career drugs. It's greed, the disregard for human life, even to the point that young children are being offered meth to get them addicted at a very early age. Mexicans were gleeful about their destruction of American youth, the damage they inflicted on black inner city youth, and now their drug trafficking superior attitude is snapping back on them.
It turns out the drugs are hurting the drug dealing country far more than the drug using country -- although no one can really deny that Mexico is facing a big problem of drug addiction itself.

I think all drugs should be legalized in Mexico first. If the purpose of making every sort of drug including meth legal in the USA is to attempt to solve all of Mexico's many social problems, then it would do no good at all as long as the drugs were still illegal in Mexico.
We should control and enforce the borders, let Mexico experiment with drug legalization. In fact if drugs were made legal in Mexico, the sales in Mexico would rise dramatically, the Mexican drug traffickers would save the overhead in trying to cross their drugs, they could sell them more cheaply on Mexican streets and in Mexican schools.

I like your way of thinking - and I love this idea. I wish it would be implemented soon. All the loser tweakers in the US could make a mass exodus for SOB and petty theft would see a huge decline.
