Building the wall up for better security crossing our boarders may help some!
Not really.
A lot of the opioids/opioid deaths are from prescription/prescription abuse.
It's not like they're made in a tiny village in Columbia run by a drug cartel with ak-47 wielding soldiers watching the farmers and sorters, smuggled in by submarine to Mexico.
"The Wall" will still have doors in it, allowing "legal" trade.
Mexican cartels still smuggle in a large part of their drugs by hiding it in perfectly legal shipments.
Getting rid of NAFTA, absolutely closing the border with Mexico, and sanctioning anything absolutely that comes from there "may help some!"
But just erecting a wall won't really help.
hehehe...pulling in all of our military from overseas, then empire building by invading Mexico (and maybe south America), killing at least everyone in a gang or cartel would "help some!"
But we'd probably lose a lot of allies and be sanctioned by other countries.
What about all the legal drugs used, that won't stop!
Nope. Never going to stop.
People love their drugs. Makes life better.
Sugar. High fructose corn syrup. Alcohol/wine/beer. Nicotine. Heroin. Meth. Pot/THC. Dopamine. Adrenaline. Endorphins. Even Oxytocin. Antidepressants. Whatever.
People chase feeling "good" and "happy" and want to rewrite reality their own way.
