A wall will definitely NOT stop drugs from coming into America. It wouldn't even make a dent. Drug cartels aren't sneaking people across the border on foot with drugs.....because they don't have to. Drugs coming into America are getting in by air, water, tunnels, and through border checkpoints. No one is physically sneaking across the border on foot with drugs. Drug trafficking has evolved, and is way more sophisticated than that. Just a day ago, 3500 pounds of,cocaine that was headed for the US was seized, at a street value of 47 million. It wasn't seized on the border, it was seized from a boat by the Coast Guard south of Florida.

noah mccormick Because cartels would be out of business. Do you think the drug trade is some small mom and pop operation? The drug trade is a multi billion dollar a year industry. And you don't operate a billion dollar industry with people hauling your product on foot. Think about it.

politicjunkee A wall wouldn't stop that either. A wall is simply not the answer to a multifaceted, and complicated problem.

Truth Seeker Except we already know what's happening You could ask any DEA agent if they think a wall would even make a dent into drugs coming into this country, and they would probably just laugh at the mere notion.

noah mccormick Because the Border Patrol knows. The DEA knows.

Here's one major factor concerning the drug trade that many people are unaware of. The money from the drug trade is a big part of America's economy, and it has been for decades. If you were able to magically remove drug money from our economy with the just the snap of a finger, we could easily be looking at another recession. In fact, during the last recession, the drug industry was one of the few industries that didn't suffer. It just kept on ticking, and never missed a beat. This may come as a surprise to some, but just do a little research on your own..
