Seal off the southern border to inconvenience the flow of drugs, guns and illegal immigrants
Why not just legalize marijuana, the biggest seller? It's harmless, costs too much to regulate, etc. Fifty percent of folks in prison are in there for drugs, mainly pot. That would save so much money on "the war on drugs" as well as imprisoning a populace that is considered a "revolving door" population for lock ups.

If you have marijuana legal here, there would be no need to import it from Mexico. You could tax it. If they did that in CA, it is expected to bring in ~1B per year. Just think about the rest of the nation.

The tax code book now totals over 17,000 pages. Great suggestion,

I'd support moving towards a flatter, more fairer tax by getting rid of all of the loopholes..
