Most hear about the help that America is always doing to better other countries they are blind to what serious problems are going on in their own backyards right here in The Untied States.

While we have chased war in Iraq, and Afghanistan for more than a decade, nearly 48,000 people have been killed in drug related violence in Mexico. In the first three quarters alone of 2012, almost 13,000 people have died. If America cares so deeply about Nation building, we should continue to do so closer to home.

America is always looking for ways to make this nation better and healthier. The drive to stop the importation and use of illegal drugs is always a priority for police officers today.

There are many programs and tactics that law enforcement is using today to attempt to deter and eliminate the use of drugs. Wasting tens of billions of
of the American drug prohibition, it’s sensible to ask the question, “Are we making any progress?” Shockingly, the answer from experts on both sides of the issue seems to be the same; a resounding “no”. It is clear at this point that the War on Drugs has ultimately failed, however the consequences of pursuing the issue have left North America in a disastrous state, with many economic as well as social issues.
