If you really want to stop this plague, follow Portugal's lead. They got their IV drug use substantially down, reduced crime and improved the standard of living by doing one thing.
No, I'm not going to tell you. Do some research.

OH c'mon, please tell us!

Decriminalization, needle exchange, expanded treatment. They still aren't onboard with cannabis, however, so they have a ways to go.

I realize that a small number in this total were probably due to legal drugs. Secure the borders to only legal entry. You can also check 2017 and the numbers are not much different.

I worry about stupid people and stupid people own guns and do drugs. Many are ON drugs while they use guns in the course of committing crimes, like selling drugs or stealing drugs or guns!!!

If you have to ask that question, you are part of the problem. What do you think the purpose of a wall is? What is the purpose of a lock on your home door? Does the lock or the wall keep EVERYONE out? No, but it does serve to slow them down considerably.

Walls are ok for one thing, building buildings. For keeping out undesirables ( in some people's words ) it's total crap. Being an immigrant from Germany I do know a thing or two about walls.

Then take the locks off of your door at home, your garage, your auto, etc. Let us all know how well that works for you.

And what do facts do you base this illogical statement on?

Drugs come into this country via boats and planes. That has been well documented.
A border wall is not going to stop that traffic.
Do some research on it.
The border wall is just a big government band aid to make people like you feel better.
It is a big waste of time and tax payers' money.

I'm curious why you have this opinion about the wall. Please explain. Oh wait. I see you have documented that drugs just come into the country by planes and boats.

You are missing the point entirely. Prove how much of what comes in and how. Prove a wall will slow nothing down. Not only will a wall slow the people, it will slow the drugs. 51 percent of all immigrants legal and illegal are on some form of taxpayer dole.

You have to be insane or a democrat to want this crap to continue.

I did not say that was the Only way drugs come into this country. Now did I?
What a lot of people don't understand about the drug cartels, is how ruthless and ingenious they are about getting their products into this country.
There have been many tunnels found in San Diego and other border towns, used for t***sporting drugs. A border wall would just be a small bump in the road for these drug cartels.
The leaders of these cartels are probably sitting in their million dollar homes laughing their asses off about this wall.

I am not a Democrat or insane. Just stating that what our government is doing to stop the flow of drugs into our country is ineffective and always has been.

Now if we could just figure out how to get rid of all the stupid people we wouldn't have problems with drugs, alcohol or guns?
