    I think your attitude stifles creativity.

    BTW, you said, sez you.

    sounds like it is proven with even 3rd-grade arithmetic.

    The drugs are NOT coming across only that border!

    It's been a long, long time since smugglers have found seaside entries to get drugs into the US! And those are a lot more difficult to police than tunnels under the Great Wall of Mexico.

    What would be nice to see every morning (on a news program) is the total number of addicts (in the US) that died the previous day due to their addiction.

    But, until that comes along, this will have to do:

    I understand he's got a right to use the law. It's up to Congress to change the rest.

    no it isn't. removing the EC makes every vote equal.
    The EC is not fair to people in larger populated states. A Wyoming residents vote carries 3 times the weight of a California residents vote.

    Thank you for the address you included in your post.

    Excerpt (from here):
    The above is a good example of what is happening from the archaic and non-democratic (small "d") country of ours. And, need I add that it has been this way for 200 years that the Electoral College has manipulated the popular-vote on behalf of either of the two main parties that could do so?

    Maybe it's time we stopped dead the manipulation? After all, the PotUS election is, or should be, NATIONAL in nature, not state-dependent. The Electoral College need only report the Popular-vote number to Congress - and not manipulate the report by according to the winner ALL THE STATE'S EC VOTES!

    Thus bloating the smaller-state votes in a national election for the presidency!

    Which is how Donald Dork got elected ... !

    I am unable to post the graphics here, but the report I have found seems to indicate that (at least for heroin) I was wrong. Mexico is definitely the major source of the drug heroin.

    My apologies.

    If you care to see the underlying infographics that substantiate the above claims go to this PDF here: DEA 2018 National Drug Threat, then scroll down to the infographics on pages 17/18/19 that show clearly that Mexico is the major source.

    Whether they are coming across the land-border or not (and by how much) is not mentioned in the report. The only numbers mentioned are percentages by country source of heroin.

    But, Mexico seems the most likely source ...

    I don't trust the dea. They still think pot is an addictive narcotic instead of a useful medical herb.

    Their war on pot is a cottage industry unto its self.

    It's not a war on drugs. It's a war on people.

    It has turned into a corrupt bureaucracy of wasted taxpayer dollars.
