Re: “Does anyone really think there would be any drug cartels in Mexico if the United States didn't have massively demand and ENCOURAGE all those drugs? Does anyone really think this starts with US citizens being forced to take drugs by evil Mexican drug lords? Wouldn't free markets suggest there would be no drug traffic across the border if not for the US CAUSING this nightmare?”Yep. You've got that right.

As for the influx of illegals, I've long been of the opinion that the desire to come here would dry up right quick if we just made it illegal to EMPLOY an illegal. What I mean is that every employer should be required to check with the IRS or with some new government agency to make sure that the person he is hiring is here legally. If not, then if the employer hires the individual, the employer would get socked with a million dollar fine and go to jail for a year or two.

How's that sound? Do you think illegals would keep coming if we had such a law? Do you think the ones already here would stay?

I've never heard a politician propose this, yet it would be relatively easy to put in place. Says a lot about our politicians, doesn't it?

Employers would need to show that they made a good-faith effort to check on the status of their employees. If they did that, they'd have done their part even if they accidentally hire an illegal. We don't want to punish employers who TRY to do the right thing. But those who fail to check yet hire anyway would get a brutal punishment. I think such a law would do wonders.

Hmm. This "vibrant and exciting town" appears to be the best place going to shoot up heroin and other filth.

Or is that unfair? Do you suppose you need to shoot up before you can handle the books, or do you think the books feed the opioid epidemic in this "vibrant and exciting" place? Or do you think this is another case of correlation is not causation?

Maybe they are feeling bad because of their "white privilege" which leads them to read the books and then, they get so depressed, they are forced to go shoot up and die?

BTW, twisted mind that I have (sorry, I can't help it) I keep thinking about Mexico and its drug cartels vs. "the good citizens of the US" and its hunger for hard drugs.

The media frames this mostly as an issue of bad Mexican government doesn't take care of its drug cartels, who are addicting innocent Americans.

But it seems to me a case can be made that cause and effect are completely turned around here.

Shouldn't the Mexican government and Mexican peoples be seeking trillions in reparations for UNITED STATES CITIZENS *CREATING* AN ONGOING BLIGHT OF DEADLY DRUG CARTELS IN MEXICO WHILE THE CRIMINAL US GOVERNMENT AIDS AND ABETS?

I mean, let's use our brains a little here and apply some common sense. Who is harming whom? Does anyone really think there would be any drug cartels in Mexico if the United States didn't have massively demand and ENCOURAGE all those drugs? Does anyone really think this starts with US citizens being forced to take drugs by evil Mexican drug lords? Wouldn't free markets suggest there would be no drug traffic across the border if not for the US CAUSING this nightmare?
