John,

Thanks for the clarification and I agree with you ... an unsecure border is an issue at hand but the demand would still override a secure border ... you cannot institute a border that is "secure" in which drugs are in demand and expect to see the demand die down.

Last time I checked ... a plane can manage to fly over a"secure" border ... a border that has a fortified electric wall with a moat from Texas to California filled with alligators and [insert animal of your choice] and 24/7 border patrol at every .25 miles

A "secure" border is but an illusion that can never be achieved.

Mr. Ortez,

I fully understand the big picture. My statement about myself was a sarcastic reply to Hillary saying "OUR insatiable demand". The fact is that if our border with Mexico was more secure, less drugs would enter the US and less guns would enter Mexico. If you can't get goods to market, you're out of business regardless of the demand.

I like this article. Basic supply and demand.

Your last paragraph has a typo (Warthat). FYI.
