    You’re right. I forgot where I was. I should have specified solutions that could actually be implemented. Lesson learned.

    Nah, it's not like their handing out syringes to heroin addicts and providing drug cartels with a wide open border.

    It can be implemented, we just have to have the will.

    I'm not facilitating the use of heroin and fentanyl. You are. That's what you voted for.

    You're absolutely correct. To the degree that they want to sit here and blame us for gun deaths..... They're equally as culpable for overdoses.

    Do you really believe that the cartels will quit bringing them in?

    That does nothing but encourage more drug use. When those clean needles are not available junkies are going to reuse them.

    Well, 1 poster thinks a wall on the southern border is a magical solution. Also thinks, the 2020 election was stolen.
    So, caution is required.

    Let's try your solution.
    A wall around all the water borders of the USA. Water, land, and air. Big country, but, we have unlimited funds.
    And then, since the airways are still open, a dome over the USA.

    That only leaves tunnels.

    most people will buy from a safe legal source if they can

    people still buy illegal alcohol, but not like during prohibition

    I saw a headline on the news when I was sitting in my doctor’s office which said Mexico wants to sue American gun manufacturers, and the headline was all I saw. If true, the perhaps both the USA and Mexico should secure the border in both directions. My only problem with such a joint venture is that we would probably try to keep our end of the white Mexico does squat.

    To be honest, I don’t think either side cares about what comes across the border as long as it’s traveling north.

    I did.
    What was difficult to understand?
    Walls?
    Borders?
    Water?
    Land?
    Air?

    Please explain.

    EDIT: Tunnels?

    So, the OP title is wrong?
    The OP thread opening statement didn't say much.
