Border control

The best defense for the drug problem is a defensive controls at the Mexican border. Chasing ghosts is a waste of time and will never end. Blocking the border however would do some good and makes more sense with a much lower cost. We have a military force that can patrol and block the border like they should do.

The trillions of dollars spent in the last 30 years of this war has not done a thing to stop drug trafficking. The highway patrol has done more by accident than the DEA has done with no success.

Eliminating one ghosts only opens the door for a new ghost to replace him. The DEA and Mexican army has been a joke. The Mexican is in bed with drug dealers and the DEA is handing drug dealers the DEA's plans and weapons. It is a losing battle and it's time to get out of Mexico and close the US borders. Recind the NAFTA agreement until Mexico can prove it is drug and corruption free. Which will be never.
