"For the first time the City of El Paso has been named the City with the lowest crime rate in the United States with a population of over 500,000 residents."
And this is after having been named 2nd safest for the past two years.
And, I just have to wonder, why do people who don't live anywhere near the U.S./Mexico border want the reports of low(er) crime rates to be untrue? Do you really want to believe that your fellow citizens are living in war zones despite all evidence to the contrary?
That is very good news.
However, if marijuana was legalized you would have
more cities safer - not just on the border.

It’s channeling millions in drug money into the Mexican cartels, and represents 60% of all cartel profits. That money gets used to finance violence not only at the border but in over 200 cities across the United States where they currently have a presence — up from 100 cities three years earlier.
Why have a blind eye to the root of the problem. I don't
agree with Napolitano, that we need to continue wasting billions of dollars on a self induced problem.

Well, of course, but, that would make too much sense, and, take a lot of money out of a lot of peoples' pockets.

Legalizing pot (which I support) isn't going to eliminate or even diminish the illegal alien problem that's destroying a lot of border states right now.

So should we go ahead and legalize cocaine to? You do understand pot is not the only drug coming across the border.

Over 60 - 70 percent of what is coming from the Mexican border is marijuana. While I personally am against the total war on drugs, and yes, that would include cocaine - As a nation, we need to end the prohibition of marijuana.
We have never been able to legislate a product in
demand. We just expand the black market.
That is why this "war on drugs" does not
work.
Just throwing dollar after dollar at the problem, and
incarcerating our citizens is a failed system.
