THE WALL

During the government prohibition on alcohol, crime and instability were the norm. There were rum runners bringing the stuff across the border from Canada, and a lot from Mexico. When the US federal government finally decided to end the prohibition, and legalize and tax it, the crime rate decreases markedly.
When the government, with every good intention gave us the various welfare programs, the available work force decreased markedly, and crime increased.
The workers had to come from somewhere, and Mexico became the largest supply of workers, and crime increased. Can't they see the correlation?

Here is the answer.

#1. Legalize and tax drugs as they now do the now legal drug, alcohol. The drug smuggling will drop to zero, and crime will decrease, both here as well as Mexico.

#2. Decrease welfare to a very low amount, allowing only the severely crippled or infirm. That will provide a very large pool of available workers, and reduce the available jobs available to illegal aliens to nearly zero, resulting in less crime.

#3. increase trade with Mexico, thus providing work for their displaced workers, and bettering the economy of our neighbor to the south.
These three things will provide more economic stability to America, and to the entire western hemisphere.

The border wall is a very bad idea, and can be remedied by applying the three above ideas.
This simple plan will do away with some of the major economic problems, and reduce crime.
