Call me crazy, but I think there might be an easier way to control the CIA.
Or even reducing the profitability of smuggling drugs by legalizing some of the most popular ones or something. But I guess then they would also lose the Jim Crow 2.0 and would need to come up with something else.
And you think the cartels will just disappear just because you've given them concessions?
I want to help control the activities of the CIA. Hmm, I know, let's build a wall, that will certainly stop the CIA. If this was just about the CIA, we wouldn't be talking about building a wall because of just how stupid that sounds. The CIA can be stopped with a wall? They have the power to smuggle drugs into Mexico, to be sold in the US. You think they are going to let a wall stop them? LOL No, this has never been about stopping the CIA and more about political ideologies and wasting more taxpayer money on NOT the taxpayers.
I'm pretty sure asylum seekers can even defeat a wall unless ladder technology hasn't reached their country yet.
They'll just steal the wall. Literally, they pull pieces off of it
