  1. That’s fine, but the genesis of the debate started from focusing on the southern border. It will not matter one iota if you treat it like a health concern, if your border is merely a sieve. Keeping track of what enters this country is a basic function, one that shouldn’t be terribly difficult.
  2. I feel like I’m resorting to tautology at this point, so forgive me, but I have no issue with changing strategy.
  3. Well, to be clear, these individuals don’t want to use fentanyl. It’s a trick that dealers use because it’s cheaper and has a similar high to heroin. I have no issue with them changing tactics, in fact I would prefer that outcome.
  4. These individuals have no clue that the heroin they are using contains fentanyl.
  5. I suppose you’re pushing through an open door in some respects, as I agree many tactics they chose to implement resulted in minimal success. I still believe it’s a worthwhile endeavor and that particular chart will not be able to provide all of the lives saved in the process.
  6. I didn’t say build a wall, you must be confusing me with someone else. A lot of heroin comes from Mexico, are you serious?
  7. So, the fentanyl they siezed didn’t save lives? I think that’s a rather poor position to entrench oneself. I certainly think the war on drugs could be far more effective if they stopped focusing on drugs such as marijuana, but that’s another discussion I suppose. I’ve already explained that I don’t view the war on drugs as wasted effort, so I’m not sure why you insist on going backwards.
  8. Of course they could. No, I’ve lost loved ones to drugs, so I understand the appeal.
  9. Yes, I don’t view it as pissing it away. The DEA is siezing drugs as we speak.
  10. I don’t believe getting Fentanyl off the streets is waste of time.
  11. If caring about the opioid epidemic is naive, so be it.
  12. I don’t believe it to be a waste of time.
  13. Again, I don’t encounter many people that are fearful, and I live in a very red county. Most of them have resigned themselves to the fact that immigration reform is a pipe dream. The backlog in immigration courts surged well before Trump took office, so I’m not quite sure of the point you’re making.
  14. The southern border is a mess, from people piling up at checkpoints to drugs pouring through the ports at will. It’s not going to solve the entire problem for sure, but it needs to be addressed.
  15. Math is certainly not my strong suit. The current number here is still largely Latin, so focusing on the southern border is logical. I don’t think people are scared, I think they’re annoyed that pointing out an obvious flaw in our immigration system brings out the mouthbreathing race baiters.
  16. Thanks, his assertion seemed wildly inaccurate.
  17. I believe that Mexicans make up close to half of the undocumented population, although it has declined somewhat since 2014.
  18. I share your bleak outlook reagrding the options at hand. Much like a cancer patient whose tumor had metastasized, simply cutting out the problem is no longer feasible. Even if you could locate the millions of illegal aliens, the mere logistics of deporting them seems insurmountable. Unfortunately, one has to understand when they’re fighting a losing battle, and I think the Republicans may be at that point. Some form of amnesty may be the only route if any hope of bipartisan reform is to be realized.
  19. Poor Christian Rivera, imagine all of the adversity he endured fleeing his country of origin. I think this calls for more decency regarding our illegal aliens.
  20. I grew up eating McKinzie’s BBQ, it’s about time for a return visit. Cruz certainly has good taste when it comes to food.
  21. She’s leaving a trail of tears in her wake.
  22. You monster, couldn’t they have waited until he helped deliver that fifth anchor baby? Have you no decency?
  23. Well, in that vein I suppose everything is temporary. That’s beside the point, however; as one is guaranteed to be gone in a few years and one is not.
