I find myself in total agreement with Strike on this. While I am happy with the chilling effect the Trump administration has had on illegal entry, there is no wall high enough to stop illegal immigration if there exists a market for illegals here in the USA. Unless that market is curtailed, someone will find a way to satisfy that market.

Americans like to get stoned on cocaine and want to keep their pain receptors numbed permanently after knee surgery, or hangnails, or whatever. If perc is not available, then heroin will suffice. Thus there is a market. You have all long since noted the efficacy of America's "war on drugs" to block the smuggling of drugs into the country to fill this market need.

Good gravy, we are actually having more success in our "War on Terror" than we are having with drugs and illegals.
