I would be for taking out their government as well. Let the people vote and decide to become part of the US or vote in a new, Democratic government with US Military presence for a few years to assure the crooks don’t come back. Would be better than a wall.

How about not wasting more $$ across the border, and fix our dilapidated infrastructure.
Our roads are falling apart.

I thought the country was all for legalizing drugs. Now you want to use the military against drugs? Make up your mind.

Not even close. Condemning Trump is a valid choice here but there is no defense of what Obama did.

Nah. Best to let the free markets handle it by decriminalizing drugs, thus destroying the drug cartels' current monopoly.

Why let the government waste even more of our money?

Just as soon as they cite case law putting the donor class above the law I'll say give them a medal made in their own shops by illegals.

WHY should be use our military to defend another country's democratic government when we don't have one ourselves?

No. Not another involvement that will drag us into war, casualties and cost billions / Trillions.


Make drugs legal and be done with it. Will save lives and money.
