with Mexico's foreign minister saying many of the guns used in the Culiacan assault were made in the United States


Oh, bullshit. They were sold out of a Mexican military armory, and they know it.

What ? Everything from meth to fentanyl and all analog cocktails ? I don't think this can be done under anyone other than a Democrat crazy. You'll have to wait for someone like Bernie or that Buttigieg fellow before some of your hypotheses can be tested on hundreds of thousands.

Open by design. Libbetrarians say open borders = freedom. Never-Trumpers tell us that the illegals are better people than native-born "deplorables."

#13 Schlichter puts it well in his latest piece, "Snit Romney":
The same day he was on the Senate floor fronting about “honor” and “betrayal” there was a civil war breaking out in Mexico, yet Mitt couldn’t spare a second to fight to secure our own border. Every year, our open border literally kills thousands of Americans, via criminals and fentanyl. That’s what we’re interested in, not refereeing between tribes on the other side of the globe.

#14 Drug gangs went after soldiers families in the latest engagement. Give 24 hour notice to surrender and send women and children out, then their bases and homes should be bombed into rubble and anyone escaping should be shot. No prisoners. Send a message.

#16 Legalize drugs and all of this goes away.

In effect, that's what they've done in San Francisco and Los Angeles. So I guess you're OK with homeless meth freaks and fentanyl addicts peeing and pooping on your sidewalks, sleeping in you doorways, spreading Third World diseases and dying in the streets. Here, check it out. It doesn't go away, it vomits on your shoes.

They'll sell it to school children, you know, just like the cotton candy flavored vapor. You'll have little kids passing out on the playgrounds and dying before the paramedics can get to them.

You've heard about the opioid epidemic, right?All the people dying from overdoses of oxycodone? You want that stuff to be available over the counter at your local Walgrens? We're not talking about beer or marijuana. This stuff is death in a pill. You don't care if these people die, if their children become orphans? You don't care what it does to their families, friends and businesses? You don't care what it does to our country? Oh well, shit happens.

And then the Guzmans will become respectable just like the Kennedy's did after Prohibition was repealed. Or they go into other businesses like prostitution and gambling. Then they buy entire cities like Las Vegas, not to mention politicians. Ovidio could become Mexico's next president. Imagine that guy sitting in the Oval Office during a state visit with President Ocasio-Cortez. El Chapo will be released from federal prison and he'll be there too, smiling for the cameras. That the kind of world you want?

But then, eventually, the pendulum swings the other way. Red necks, homophobics, xenophobics, mysoginist and all the other deplorables get sick of it, get angry and go on the rampage. Read about the Boxer Rebellion in China where the government was so weak that Europeans were calling all the shots, only here it'd be Chinese calling all the shots. The result is chaos and the bodies pile up. That's when it finally goes away.

#20 Policy that decides welfare for the majority must not hinge on the personal proclivities of 'elevated thinkers'. Policy must find a middle ground and draw clear lines that cannot be crossed. That's the real world, sir.

With this and your other theory of non-intervention by default, you'd have the US be completely prone to slow supplanting and surrendering the footing it has tried to sustain for so long. Destruction from outside and inside !

#25 And yet, meth and oxy available over the counter at Walgreen's would result in LESS harm than the current system of prohibition.

Would Mexico be exploding with violence and exporting their problems to America?

Would our prisons be exploding with inmates?

Would our law enforcement have been corrupted with seizure laws?

You have to look at *just how bad* the current situation is. Literally anything would be an improvement. We fought the drug war. Time to admit it's not working.

Phaick Uneretle6310, Herb McCoy has broken no laws by having and stating that opinion, nor have I seen any indication that he plans to act on that opinion, since that would require supporting certain Democratic politicians. On the contrary, the statement of the extreme of a theoretical position held by a number of Rantburgers resulted in thoughtful discussion of its flaws.

There is nothing to report to the DEA or any other law enforcement agency on the subject as a result. Your brother, I suspect, would not be happy to be distracted from his real work to follow up on such claims. Please do thank him from me for stepping forward to shield us from those who do not hold back from doing real harm, as do and have quite a few Rantburgers in a variety of capacities over the years.

#33 It's indeed a legit opinion (that most of us, including me, don't share), but opinions are not illegal in the U.S.

I find the idea of Phaick Uneretle6310 to report an opinion to the DEA quite unsettling.

#34 As Abu eloquently stated, the repercussions of your coveted village idiot who refuses to put himself next to the body of the dead child who somehow got into the sh!t that came across his open border is disgusting.

When my brother is not putting people like your village idiot in prison he is working with ICE and CUSTOMS trying to stem the flow of chemical death coming across the border.

Do not insult me, him or my family or the victims by trying to impose what you're shallow evaluation of his time spent when you don't haven't once sat with the family of a 15 year old as they sat in grief by the child's casket like we have.

#36 Dam right he would. It would take him not time to find who HB drug connections are. And me, as a former fireman/paramedic who took the victims of open borders to ER to have their stomachs pumped out, that is all the info he needed to start chasing the leads to put users like HB in prison.

Dam straight we can put him away. Do it all the time, EU.

#38 I know quite a few people who'd be in favor of legalizing all drugs but would never touch them, let alone trade them.

The idea they have is that if drugs were freely available, drug crimes would drop because the margins would go away.

I disagree with this idea. While dangerous drugs would be much cheaper to obtain, use would go up. Probably a lot. Not something anyone could want.

Unfortunately the "War on Drugs" will never be won. It will still save lives.

Don't agree with Herb a lot but he has the constitutional protected right to spout whatever he wants. And I support his right to spout crap, just like he supports my right to spout crap too.

I have the firm suspicion that your brother, if he is who you say he is, would not be amused.
