a thousand or so national guard to protect our borders for what?
oh i forgot the war on drugs and illegals
over 22 thousand mexicans have been killed since 2006 in mexico. an unknown number of dead here in the usa due to violence and overdoses. tens billions of dollars in interdiction,prosecution,and incarceration tens of billions in the degradation of communities and regions in the usa
has anyone in Afghanistan caused the same amount of suffering that the war on drugs has caused.
1000 or so troops is bullshit. if we really want to do something...
change nafta
place enough troops to keep people from crossing
reform our drug laws
actually help those who want to get clean
restore our job base in the cities and countryside so men and women have a decent job
but it`s easier to send blood and money to fight a war on people who hate us.
