Sure. And where do most of these drugs end up? In private homes.
So you have no problem with cops randomly searching your home, right? After all that’s where a lot of the drugs are, in homes like yours.
Nothing unreasonable about it, it’s just a PITA.[/quote]
Ah, the slippery slope argument. Before it can get to my home, it has to be shipped. Or in the case of San Diego, carried through a tunnel to a house close to the border.
If you want to legalize drugs, I’m fine with that. I’m also fine with shutting down the checkpoints and the border, just hit the employers. You know, those people with the cash paid nannies and handymen and yardworkers. And those processing plants in the mid-west. And who knows how many businesses here.
Solve the employment and demand problem, solve the illegal problem, solve the drug problem.
The checkpoints are just a side-effect of the southern border being a sieve.
