Drug laws do more harm than good. The War on Drugs can be linked to almost every negative social trend in our country. Every drug addict has become one, in part, because our government has criminalized drugs. The government is hoping that Prohibition will get far enough away in history that they can obscure the fact that their Drug War is nothing more than Prohibition II- and that it is just as much of a failure as its predecessor. Let peaceful people cross borders freely.
Immigration is such an essential part of our country's heritage.
My ancestors immigrated here on the Mayflower. Waves of immigrants from various countries have flooded our shores since our country's founding- and the times that we have turned them away are marks of shame on our national history. If we are unable or unwilling to accept that historical responsibility, then maybe we should send everyone in America back where they came from. Businesses and farms should operate without government subsidies. The government is inherently going to have to favor one industry, company, or trend over another.
