If our southern border was secure would cocaine become less of a problem?
Answer:
I would doubt it. The problem of cocaine could grow worse. Higher costs and more violence because of it's limited availability. This war on drugs is a crock. We neee to try it at a different angle. When I was in high school it was easier to get drugs than alcohol. That says something for the enforcement of alcohol. Anyway, I don't ever see the problem going away. As long as there is a demand it will always be around.
no your liberal laws will never stop cocaine problems. where I live we simply execute drug dealers, as a result we don't have a drug problem. try that for 10 years, and if it does not work, revert to your current liberal law system of slapping drug dealers on the wrist. the southern border would have been secured by now, if the powers that be wanted it to be, as it isn't that should tell you something. third world countries secure their borders more then America does, doesn't that strike you as odd.
The only way to stop the cocaine problem is to reduce the demand.
Dealers are supplying what the people want.
NO... because AmeriKans are such losers they will never give up their drugs.
no...the problem is the demand in this country for cocaine...our borders were probably patrolled just as vigorously during Prohibition and people still got their booze, and organized crime was born out of it as well
nope
Honestly, we need to legalize it and all other drugs. Then we tweak all aspects of public services to accommodate the drugs.
-Welfare and food stamps requires the recipient to take random drug test with no warning, and if they pop positive for any drug their welfare is suspended or revoked.
-Give insurance companies the abilities to refuse to pay if the person suffers from a problem resulting from drugs. Cocaine raises blood pressure and causes hypertension, so any heart trouble a person gets will not be covered in their insurance package (an example)
-Government housing requires random drug testing.
These are just some things that can be done. That way, those who want to do drugs, but the costs will fall on them and them alone. If they want to die, then they can, but the system and ultimately taxpayers should not be burdened by their problems.
No; actually it will become more of a problem, and the violence connected to it will spiral out of control far beyond the levels and expectations of the police as it did with alcohol back in the 20's during prohabition..
Not likely but it would become so expensive, the user would likely migrate to another Country.
Well, since that's the direction most of the coke comes
from, it would make sense; don't you think?
No...two different power struggles here...one has little to do with the other.
We have been defracted into focussing on a situation that has been going on since our ancestors needed railroad workers & cattle drivers...our businesses leaving Home ground effects our economy & employment more than this scenerio ever will.
And Cocaine will always be as long as the demand is there for the supply...or until our pharmaceutical companies can come up with a more accessible drug of choice...which they are working on with great fervor...the more people addicted to narcotics, the weaker the chain of opposition, the easier the control...See?
Also, the majority of cocaine comes in by air & sea...once processed, it must be moved quickly to retain quality--land travel is much too slow & limited...agents get their promotions & media gets a good scoop, whether it's a decoy load or not.
Corporations, on the other hand, predominantly use trucking companies to import their labor crews...as long as money talks, their land access will be open. See the bigger picture in all this?
Are you kidding? That for sure would wipe out the economy. Because there would no longer be added untimely use of jails,institutions,and death! Which means thousands of hundreds of Americans would be unemployed especially those in the mental,medical,correctional (now that's a joke!)fields...
Not to forget about the unmarked millions of dollars roaming the streets that go to the local police force. That would make Bill Gates and his peeps look broke compared to the amounts ceased (just around the south and southwest states)alone!!
Seriously do you think that economically we'd be alright?!
Therefore to squeeze out the turnstyle entrance at the borders what do you think will/would happen?
It would make all drugs harder to come by since the majority of drugs are hauled by mules across the southern border
secure meth houses first man those are worse.
Not if Bush lets them truck it through with a 'speed pass for trusted trading partners' under a NAFTA/SPP program. Go to SPP.gov, and google the news for violations by 'trusted trading partners'.
No, they would find another way to get it into this country. They could always fly over and and make a drop in a field.
