Don’t forget the walls. And then those to build the towers that will have to shoot down the drug drops that will still fly over in drones if it were cement like the great wall. Oh, and those checking for tunnels. As our expenses go up and up as we start having people constantly hunting for tunnels and our population declining and taxes be reduced on the rich… What happens to the country?
All of this avoided by legalizing and taxing the drugs, growing them here. Easier to regulate, and it cuts the funding to the cartels allowing Mexico to stabilize better and slowly maybe south America if we partner with them on manufacturing. Inflation stabilizes there, a lot more places to live safely. Reducing immigration, while keeping immigrants coming at rates that we can set with updated policy. (That part requires the legislative branch to do their job)… actually all of it requires the legislative branch to do their job. Set age and term limits… Scrub the rust off.
