Some random thoughts on 2 + 2.

Contemplating several conditions and situations about immigration, illegal aliens, drug trafficking and human smuggling, many of those countries south of the border are poverty stricken and desperate. If they can't work and earn an income they grow, produce and traffic drugs as a livelihood.

It takes a seller and a buyer. So who are the buyers. Apparently many millions of Americans from various levels in society. But who are the high profiles. Hollywood celebrities/starlets, that's who. Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and a very long list of hundreds and hundreds more.

So why do we have sanctuary cities and so many public officials harboring and protecting the illegal aliens ?

Presently Mexico's President Felipe Calderon is engaged in a drug interdiction campaign that is rapidly degenerating into massive genocide and war against the cartels. Thousands of deaths and inhuman carnage, dismemberment's and be-headings.

And what did Mexico's last president, Vicente Fox, do about the cartels and drugs. He facilitated the mass invasion of millions of Mexicans across the border. And he did NOTHING to stop the cartels.

For a future Democrat constituency.

Excellent observations Wettibe.

And all these celebrities pay top dollar for this stuff. And by doing so, they help keep the prices high for the rest of the users too. It is all an enormous source of income for organized crime.

The solution, of course, is decriminalization. Take away the risk of possession and low level distribution and the profit motive goes away. Focus on dragging down the distributors by taking their money away from them. Keep everyone out of jail.

Vote yes on proposition 19. I'm not enthusiastic about legalizing pot, but legalizing it will destroy the criminal underground of trafficking and the vast sums of money collected for it. The blow against organized crime that this will wield is really hard to imagine. The street prices are bound to plummet to nothing the minute legalization takes effect. The "medical marijuana" license to get stoned will evaporate overnight.
