Why is it Mexico and Canada's fault if Americans like Fentanyl?

[Woodznutz]

You and those who share these thoughts can pay for it.
The rest of us cannot afford to house and care for the millions you seek to detain.

We'll have to run the numbers on that to know for sure.

 

[Woodznutz]

My thoughts as well. Some people have a propensity for self destruction and if one method is denied another will be found. Let them self remove from the gene pool quickly rather than be an expense and obstacle to the productive.

That would be rather messy, don't you think, allowing overdose victims to die in the streets? Our policy should be "We're going to save your ass whether you like it or not."

 

[Woodznutz]

Just as the US is Israel's *****....

Not if Trump sells F-35's to Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps. I am not eager to spend untold quantities of other people’s money to find out.

Possibly, and were we to follow the path of a gulag archipelago, granting government the powers necessary to accomplish your suggested goal will be ever messier.

Well then, let's charge the users for their housing and treatment. They can use the money they would have spent on drugs.

100,000 Americans die of fentanyl and Howard Lutnick says the solution is to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

Trump's commerce nominee was asked about tariffs on Canada and Mexico: Hear the exchange

This is one of the differences between the left and the right. You are all for drugs coming into our country and the right are not. Blow up dem damn boats!

Monies acquired how? Involuntary servitude in their captivity?

They will only be detained for 30 days at a time. Little treatment needed at little cost. Kinda like REBOS two-week detainment that problem drinkers are often 'sentenced' to.

If it works, it would be money well spent.

We've been fighting the wrong people.

We have been fighting the wrong ideas.

To the Left: Problems are a valuable resource to be groomed and maintained.
To the Right: Problems are a pain in the ass and should be solved.

The OP asks an old question: “what about the demand?”

It’s a fair enough question, standing alone.

But if we can eliminate the supply and the suppliers, we won’t have to worry so much about the drug abuse problem.

It was just a few days ago that I suggested we need to address the demand as well as the supply issues.

Just to be clear, though, taking advantage of the addiction problem is not justified by telling us that we have an addiction problem. We do.

But, we can and should still insist that other nations STOP allowing the supplying of those poisons to our addicts.

As long as the market exists, supply will be sought.
We need to fix the culture, fast.
But that’s hard to do when the problem isn't even allowed to be discussed.

We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by discussing what worthless pieces of shit some people are.

Since we now know addiction is a disease, you are exactly the type of person that is ruining the conversation we need to have.

The government has all the legal authority it needs to accomplish this task.

The time for more talk is long past.

People who commit crimes to pay for their drugs are worthless pieces of shit, until they prove otherwise.

it is the Dirty Democrat Party's fault for allowing open borders

The routes that fentanyl enters the US along have not changed.

Nor did they ever have anything to do with immigrants trying to cross the border. This is a racist myth.

Well who is bringing the fentanyl into our country?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The problem is already out of control any thought that it's being controlled is simply gullibility.

Those who are determined to gain access to it what will do so no matter what we do to stop them.

Alternatively we could sart blasting boats, trucks and airplanes..... I think we're doing that now.
We will be opposed by those who in this country have been bought off by the cartels and profit from the drug trade.

If however you eliminate the end user you also eliminate the demand. Most of these hardcore addicts cost the municipalities, Commonwealth and the federal government tens of thousands of dollars a month to rehab, narcan, house and feed. Basically all we are doing is investing in their addiction... The rehab industry has its own interests and cannot survive without addicts.

Flood the streets..... Let nature take its course..... It's doing so anyway...only we have slowed it down tremendously by fooling ourselves into thinking that humanitarianism is the answer to the problem.... It most certainly is not.

We are currently just attacking boats. You want to do more? Fine by me with due notice to Maduro.
