It's easy to blame the WoD for Mexican violence, but it's not that simple. These guys are the worst kind of violent murderous thugs and no one's putting the machetes in their hands and forcing them to chop peoples heads off.Mexico is going to Shit. The most dangerous place in the world is spiraling out of what little control is left. The War On Drugs has turned Mexico into a Narco State run by the Cartels. When will this bubble burst???
Consider what would happen if America stopped all pressure on Mexico to fight the cartels. Would that stop them from making enough money off the drug trade to challenge the Mexican government for supremacy, as they are now? So then lets pretend that the Mexican government decided to legalize the entire drug trade - the cartels would become the most powerful force in Mexico, more powerful than the government. Does anyone think they'd just roll over and let big pharma take over their business? Nope. Instead, they'd take over governing Mexico themselves.
The bottom line is that Americans don't want to legalize drugs in their country, any more than they want to invade a Mexico governed by drug cartels.
But Americans don't want to legalize drugs. And there will always be some substance that people want, but is off limits. Legalize them all today, pharmacists just cook up the next, worse drug.Close the border. Legalize drugs. Use CIA and NSA along with DEA to systematically destroy the cartels like we did with Escobar. End.
I don't like the idea of kids being raised in a society that lets people buy heroin and crank over the counter.
Because the same people who want to legalize it will be screaming for me to pay for welfare for the junkies, for another thing.
No, that's Mexico's second biggest source of foreign income. But it's not really fair to pick on you for accuracy, when there's so much zany conspiracy theory bullshit being thrown around in this thread.Supposedly, Mexico's second highest source of income, after oil exports, is from illegal aliens here in the the US transferring funds back to Mexico.
You make some good arguments about illegal immigration, but I say close down legal immigration as well. WHY are we importing people when our unemployment is sky high?
