I think that drug addicts are victims to some extent. Drug pushers, dealers, traffickers are predators and we should be executing the worst of these.
Militarizing and closing our border to Mexico would be a giant leap in protecting United States citizens from the ravages of these drug cartels.
Sending all illegal immigrants home will put an immediate dent in the drug flow into our country, and save us hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming years.
People can't just walk in and say "this is my home now".
Kick them the "F" out.
