Mexican meth: Stop this illegal immigrant

20 hours, 9 minutes ago

In yet another example of how America's lax border security is endangering national security, several state attorneys general held a conference on Wednesday to bring attention to the rapidly expanding problem of Mexican meth.

Methamphetamine is a highly addictive narcotic that is destroying lives across America. States, including New Hampshire, have cracked down on local meth labs by making it more difficult to purchase the ingredients. But as those local labs have disappeared, the demand has not. It is being filled with more potent meth imported by organized criminals from Mexico.

Virginia Attorney General Robert McDonnell estimates that as much as 90 percent of the meth in his state is imported from Mexico, The Washington Post reported on Thursday. Instead of meth made by local low-lifes, this stuff often is tied to gangs and violent Mexican drug cartels.

What is Washington doing about it? Nothing. Border control does not interest the Bush administration or Congress. They're both too concerned about drying up the supply of cheap labor.

While Washington keeps the borders porous so big donors can have a steady supply of low-wage employees, what Virginia's McDonnell calls "probably the ugliest drug that has come down the pike in 40 years" is destroying the lives of thousands of young people from California to Maine.

Supply and demand ladies and gentlemen. Get a hold of your personal problems and stop self-medicating and you cut off the pipeline of drugs and violence from our hated neighbors. I have yet to hear of any American accountability for the amount of drugs transported into this country.

Just my personal opinion here, but I believe the 'War on Drugs' was designed and executed expressly to promote the drug cartels, the same way Prohibition promoted La Cosa Nostra.

Gabriel,

Where'd your neo-liberal "Don't blame the victims" attitude go???

Ok Gabriel,

But what do you think about the Mexican side of this issue?

I don't believe there are drug-users are victims of such acts .Sure they have problems, and I don't have a problem sympathizing; however given the knowledge we have about drug abuse, you are a fool for getting started. You don't really have to try them. Is that neo-liberal enough?

Looking for Mexico to be accountable or solve the issue is irrelevant and wishful thinking at best. Of course we could argue that they are to blame for their lack of enforcement, but that is not going to change anything. They are powerless against their cartels.

Who is they?

It certainly isn't the rotten stinking rich down there.

It isn't the political elite.

I am not asking that they be accountable..


I am saying they are to blame.


The solution isn't that difficult.
It is that we the people are being threatened
and sanctioned at every turn when we want our
borders secure.
