Border

The situation at the southern border is rapidly deteriorating. The number of migrants has quadrupled in the past two years and the illegal drugs and human trafficking have increased along with the migrants. The Washington Post says the cartels are making $500 billion dollars per year and of course this is tax free. In contrast Apple's net profit is $120 billion. The cartels have so much money that they are influencing the Mexican government and Mexico is becoming a Narcostate. It is obvious to many that the only alternative left to the US to combat this problem is to use what ever is necessary to close down the border. This means physical barriers where applicable, technologies like drones and cameras, along with the military to help border guards. The military could set up one mile observation posts to report any activity and a quick response teams could be called in. The border is 2,000 miles long so this would take 2,000 military personal to man these stations. There are no real accurate figures on how many women are molested or how many children are trafficked but when you add that to the 100,000 young people who die from drugs it is time to close the border.
