First off, our law is NOT predicated on another national body and should never be so. We do not need to go around infringing on the rights of states and citizens so that we can help the Mexican economy based on breaking that law. Utter nonsense.
Further, that would do NOTHING to stem the flow of immigrants across the border. It MIGHT be supplementing the problems but the immigration issues is NOT predicated on illegal drug monies but rather on opportunity. we have it here. Mexico does not.
There is only one way to stem the flow - flat out deny services to illegals. Period. Whenever an illegal alien is caught committing a crime (ANY crime) it should warrant immediate deportation. And not across the border either - they should be dropped off at the SOUTHERN border of Mexico. Legal immigration needs to be made easier. Those that come here and work without committing other crimes are irrelevant. I don't care about them as long as we are not diverting valuable resources into assistance programs for those that are not supposed to be here anyway.
Legalizing drugs actually goes a long way into alleviating the serious problems associated with illegal immigrants - namely the crime and violence that the cartels bring with them across the border. That will cease to exist once the market is wrested away from the cartels and placed into American entrepreneurs.
A more simple way to curb the flow.....land mines.

The Mexican pot trade has not crashed. Some of the pot trade has been diverted to meth, heroin and krokodil. The drug trade is flourishing as it always has.
The current invasion was made by the US government by promoting the idea that amnesty was in the near future. That was picked up by radio and television stations throughout south and central America. The illegals are showing up with "Permisos". That is a hand written by the illegal giving them permission to come here to "dream, look for a better life, join a friend or family member". This has nothing to do with the drug trade.
Well with all that short-term memory loss, it's hard for them to project into the future how today's actions will affect it. I just thought that maybe someone else in this country had part of their brain functional. Each day though I hold out less and less hope that this is the case.First off, our law is NOT predicated on another national body and should never be so.

Wow, I think you just won the "naive" award of UMB. Our capitalists here pay very close attention to and spare no effort manipulating how foreign relations affect our economy and more importantly, their own personal economies [bottom line]. They pack pockets in order to maintain their pretty status quo every day of the week. Welcome to America. Did you just arrive on Ellis Island?
Having to provide for a ballooning illegal immigrant problem on top of a populace and economy struggling just to keep it's nose above the water line is going to get noticed by the capitalists that still call this place home [who haven't already gutted-and-run and are living with untouchable bank accounts offshores.] We need Mexico to be our friend right now. You don't walk up to a person you want to be your friend, rob 3/4s of what's in his wallet, pat him on the back and say "Don't take it personally. will you join me in keeping the Western Hemisphere safe from the Russians and Chinese who can afford to bribe you right now more than me?"
We are so blinded by decades of often cruel global omnipotence, that as we lay here bleeding, we still believe that image is what's going to bring in the "true friends" at a crucial moment... We'd better get real, really fast, or we very soon will face a reckoning IMHO.

Land mines are good but pose a danger to wildlife. Helicopter gun ships. Individuals with flame throwers. There are many ways. Anyone deported should be branded on the face. If they come back they will be instantly recognized and shot on sight by anyone.
Then we don't have an illegal alien problem any more.
Yes, I can see the reuters' headline now: "US bombs, guns down and burns thousands of women and children crossing their border". Should be great for grooming empathy from our allies abroad and for the overall US standing in the world.
Why didn't I think of that?![]()
Oh, goody! But hey, aren't meth, heroin and krokodil harder for the common man in Mex to manufacture and get chemicals etc. to produce?
We could implement the Republican plan, which is to drive all wages in the USA down so much that Mexicans won't want to come to the USA.
Nah. Probably not a good idea. But Republicans will keep trying to implement it.

Whoa man you are so hardcore and knowledgeable! The world needs your wisdom!!!
What is this discussion about? Are Republicans arguing to make marijuana illegal again and to kill children at the border?
If that's the argument then America needs to melt down the Statue of Liberty. We obviously don't want it or its message anymore.
You know, because we're a good Christian nation.
