1. Nobody wants to say what needs to be done about the #RefugeeCrisis. We have allowed this hemisphere to become hell for many people and should not be surprised when they try to escape. The crime is the result of years of corruption amplified by the US thirst for illegal drugs.
2. We need to run up the white flag and declare the #WarOnDrugs lost. I would take control of the opiates on the street provide maintenance drugs and treatment to everyone afflicted. All people who obtain the public drugs would be put in treatment. Addictive drugs like opiates
3. cocaine and amphetamines get priority treatment. Pot would be legal for over 21. No drug abuse would go untreated. Nobody would go to jail for being a drug user. Nobody would make any money from selling illegal drugs. No income would be made by central american gangs here.
4. Anyone driving a vehicle would be subject to reasonable drug testing. If you don't want to be drug tested, take the bus. We would turn our efforts to rebuilding economies including tourism & civil societies of the countries that have become hell and create tropical paradises
5. that nobody in their right mind would want to flee. We will allow workers to travel across our border in a controlled and efficient process. Both the drug crisis and immigration crisis would be fixed. Not easy. But doable.
6. But we need to end the war on drugs and end the war on its victims. Those challenges are great and the fix won't be easy but it can be done. And we need to get started. Now.
