Mexico is our neighbor to the south, and there is every reason to suspect that a comparable defaco civil war over illicit-drug activities can also occur right here in the U.S. in the early 21st Century.
Many of the thousands of immigrants to the United States from Mexico each year are bringing with them shockingly pro-marjiuana attitudes and values. This raises the question of whether those immigrants from Mexico were, in fact, given fully accurate and reliable random drug-tests by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.
The alternative, of America openly embracing as "future fine citizens" immigrants from Mexico who openly joke about their own cited consumption of or enjoyment of "mota," as the new immigrants often refer to marijuana, is a truly disastrous policy for our entire nation.
It seems to me that American society is becoming increasingly polarized along pro-illicit-drug versus anti-drug lines. Ours is a nation where to merely mention to another American citizen that you support enforcement of the current anti-marijuana laws, and that you yourself permanently abstain fom marijuana, can trigger an immediate and defensive-sounding as well as hostile reply.
"Why should we enforce the laws against marijuana activities, when consumption of marijuana is obviously a victimless crime like prostitution?", the listener will immediately reply. "No harm is done to anyone by either marijuana or prostitution."
If you then attempt to provide factual evidence to the listener about injurious consequences from marijuana (or from the sex crime of sexual prostitution, for that matter), the listener regards the fact of your disagreeing with him as all the proof he needs that you are, in fact, a dreaded "Enemy" of his.
The likely 21st Century American Civil War spawned by illicit-drug activities in the U.S. will be a civil war in which the U.S. Government may choose to pursue military actions in order to help end "slavery in America at the hands of illicit drugs" or "enslavement of Americans by very injurious and addictive illicit drugs."
One of the tragic ironies behind that form of modern slavery occurring inside the United States of today is the undeniable fact that a disproportionately high percentage of the so-called "leaders" of that pro-slavery movement inside our country are themselves either African-American or Hispanic in ancestry.
Every time a Hispanic drug dealer enslaves another American citizen by selling them an illicit drug, this is yet another outrageous setback for human rights. It's also a spit in the face of the Mexico of the 19th Century that courageously opposed slavery---a stand by Mexico that took place long before the U.S. abolished slavery on American soil.
