Isn't that the same bullshit the Soviets were telling the East Germans?
There is NO difference. Either men are free to walk the Earth or they aren't.
My point originally is this: Nobody had a problem with Mexicans for over two hundred years. Our countries "big brother" insistence on trying to rule everybodies personal lives went into overdrive when Nixon started the "War On Drugs" in the early 1970's
After 40 years, what do we have to show for it? Drug use is higher (no pun intended) than ever. We IMPRISON more of our own citizens than ANY country in the world (including that evil North Korea and their buddy China). More lives and families have been completely destroyed by authorities imprisoning people for smoking pot and snorting coke than have ever been affected by actual drug addiction.
And we keep spending billions and billions of OUR money to throw OURSELVES in jail!
Stop the War On Drugs (or as it should be called: The Govt. Controlling Our Lives) and the violence on the Mexican border stops.
Once the violence stops, all the shouting about building walls stops. Mexican immigrants go back to doing all the jobs the nobody here can or will do.
This whole thing is ridiculous to me.
I can't understand why nobody seems to remember that NONE of this has been a problem for centuries. Until now.
