BORDERS OPEN TO DRUGS, PEOPLE

As Long As There's Demand

Regarding the syndicated column, "America's war on drugs is creating more 
violence and making big-time traffickers richer," (AC-T, Feb. 19), by Froma 
Harrop: Harrop provides a very clear view of the reality of the illegal 
drug problems and also provides a most cost-effective solution. I agree 
that the trade is so lucrative that removing availability is an absurd and 
useless expenditure which also creates violence. The illegal drug trade 
will continue to flourish until the demand is removed. The same is true of 
illegal immigration.
