That's what you get for interfering with free trade.

Not that I think they these casualties of our war on drugs should have been shot, but if we insist on making a war out of a social issue, this is what we're unfortunately going to get from time to time.  With rational drug and immigration policies, our borders and those who guard them would be noticeably safer.

I agree 100%.  Even though I'm very much for strong(er) borders, I'm more in favor of ending the prosecution of victimless crimes.

Not sure how "strong(er) borders" prevents something like this...



Maybe instead of we Americans saying "strong" all the time it's time to use our heads and think for a change.

Benghazi was how many weeks ago?  And I see we still aren't waiting for the facts to come in before jumping to conclusions.

Probably better to wait for FBI ballistics tests results vs relying on vague statements by Mexican policemen.

This is again why the Drug War should be ended, especially on marijuana; I'm fine with cocaine or meth or whatever being kept illegal, but weed being made legal could weaken cartels, the drug trade, and free up a lot of manpower for other crime issues.

Yeah, we (and Mexico) should just copy the Netherlands and legalize soft drugs.

As with too many things in politics reality has zero impact on this thread.
