I think the repercussions of allowing the masses to ruin their lives with drugs without limiting it and deterrents would be worse.

Think the Chinese on opium

We can't keep drugs out of PRISONS, and you think a wall, the Coast Guard, etc is going to stop them from coming into the US?

That's because prisons are run by corrupt (and union protected) dirty cops. Don't even get me started on that. I know a former prison warden who quit because he couldn't handle the corruption in those places. Lots of stories, and none of them are good.

And the Border Patrol is free of corruption?

I don't know, but I doubt it's as rampant. I'm sure there are some who steal drugs and weapons from people who cross.

When you want something to work, you assume the best in people, no matter the contrary evidence.

So, I mentioned most of the drugs come through Mexico. I wonder how that could be solved.
It's like you're oblivious to reality.

Stats show legalizing drugs, even the bad ones, is a net positive for the society.  
Stats show walls don't work.

THE REALITY SHOWS YOUR HEAD IS IN THE SAND WHEN IT COMES TO FACTS YOU DISAGREE WITH.

Portugal is running an interesting experiment with their drug decriminalization, and they are being reasonably successful.  And the percentage of people addicted hasn't gone up.

I don't know why it doesn't get more attention.

The blanket assertion that "wall don't work" strikes me as over broad.

You're right.  Let me specify.


The longer the wall is, the less effective it is.  
Oh, and the existing new wall that has been put up is being mocked by the traffickers already, and is ineffective.

a wall is similar to a mask

it doesn't contain everything and solve the problem, but it certainly can help
