Sure is easy to say this stuff but I'd bet the farm that you haven't the stones to pull the trigger.

Lol. Gringo Mexico is extremely safe. I don't disagree with the rest of your post but c'mon, man... that's low grade fear mongering. If my skinny, discombobulated ass can go where I've been barring any life-threatening hitches, then surely you and just about anyone else can keep from pissing themselves when short, dark locals outnumber you in their own tourist hub towns.

Also the whole "third world" model is antiquated and misleading. Mexico is in the upper half of GDP, globally speaking. You go down there and pretty much every city of 200k+ has wifi, iphones, metro areas, business hubs, public transportation, and other luxuries enjoyed by people just like you and me.

There's just better paying blue collar work here that lazy gringos don't want to do and our exchange rate is dope af. I think more effective approaches than the wall (and opportunities for revenue) lie in heavy fines, penalties, and strippings of licensing for employers who hire illegal help. We can blame the border, the Mexicans, and the hard left open armers all we want, but our own employers are the true enablers. If you want a wall? Use revenue from busting employers (make the fine steep as hell. Really, punish them for giving fruit to the border hopping game) and fund it that way.

So the state department warnings are not based on credible information? What about when I traveled to Cozumel they warned us to be very careful. I agree bsone parts of Mexico are relatively safe but much of it is very dangerous.

In my experience, those warnings are set in place for fat, slow, stupid, foolhardy tourists who are running candidates for Darwin awards.

Your credible information is made for the lowest common denominator. I have felt safer over there than in south side Chicago or east Austin.

Wrong. These are highly sophisticated and organized cartels. They’ll simply up the anti in human trafficking. The problem isn’t the Mexican people but the Mexican government.
Legalizing drugs will also not stop the black market or the illegal trafficking.

How exactly would there be a black market on a legal product?

So I was asked this question and really don't know the answer.

Does the property of those ranchers/landowners along the border extend into Mexico or does it stop at the border?

Libs can cry all they want. In my country its up to the states to decide how to deal with it and its simple, education.

Prohibition led to war in our streets. Shocking how that fell off after prohibition, that is until the criminals started running the only other illegal trade...drugs.

I will say if drugs are legal, crime falls because the whole criminal structure behind drugs collapses.

State laws should never supersede federal laws. If drugs are legal crime doesn’t decrease only possible possession charges. Traffic laws don’t prevent people from dying every day on the roads and abolishing traffic laws wouldn’t make the roads safer.

You know how many people are in jail on possession charges right now? 300 thousand people. If drugs are legal those people are not in jail. A small fraction of the billions we spend on the drug war could be used on education. Also legalizing drugs would cause a cascade effect crippling cartels, drug dealers, gangs etc. Would you kill someone if there was no money it? Probably not. The traffic comparison is beyond stupid.

Yea you kinda made my point for me there. I'd rather not minimize the number of south side of Chicago's we have.

I have no problem with those people being in jail. Thinking legalizing drugs will shut down the cartels and lessens crime is beyond stupid.

It won't shut down the cartels entirely since they have other dealings, but to think legalizing drugs won't have a tremendous negative impact on them is idiotic, unless they are the ones that will supply the legal institutions.

I wonder why we don't we see millions of gallons of bathtub booze flooding from Mexico to the USA?

The brain is a terrible thing to waste.

then making claims like you did is

If only there was a place you could search for information from a time you weren't alive.....

Weed has been legalized in some states. Some say violent crime has increased in those states. The governor of Colorado has contemplated rolling their legalization back. Making a claim how something affected crime 100 years ago is beyond stupid.
