The u.s government lets Afghan locals to produce poppy seeds which is used to make herion.

Illegal drugs are some of the best way to defeat your enemy.

I can empathsize, but I do not sympathize. Their circumstance and irresponsibility lies with their parents, such cannot be rewarded.



Quite backward thinking and prejudiced toward illegals. My major concern is the negative economic impact of both illegals and legals.
These deportees I'm referring to are legal. They just aren't citizens.

It's alleged that Dominicans were the first to actually deal crack in New York. It had already been popular in LA and Houston and the Caribbean a few years prior to it's NY debut.

Yeah, there's an old NYT article claiming the crack epidemic entered its way in NYC through Washington Heights.

Lets not forget that NYC was already destroyed before crack infiltrated the streets. Coke, but notoriously heroin left scars on NYC streets. Crack just added another layer of damage that heroin caused.

Here is a thread from [domain blocked due to spam] of what appears to be past Washington Heights residents recalling the tumultuous times of that era. From what they were saying, it looks like the Heights were a serious hood.

The Lesson of Washington Heights - NYTimes.com

Reading this NYT article, it looked like drug dealers in the heights tried their best to exploit the riot that occured in that area in the early 90s.
