It would remove the incentive to smuggle drugs over, and drastically weaken the cartels which are ruining the countries the immigrants are leaving. So it would also lessen the incentive for people to come over here.Ending the war on drugs would immediately improve border security.Let's end our exorbitantly expensive, War on Drugs to find out.
As long as we enforce border security, that's fine with me.
No it wouldn't. Stopping the enforcement of drug laws would make it less risky to cross the border carrying drugs.
It is estimated that marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado is costing the cartels over a billion dollars each per year. And now that Oregon has legalized it, it'll probably be the same.
I doubt that. The cartels have the money and the will to use force. They won't give up the $$$ that easily. If anything, they'll move into the U.S. and set up operations here.
