Drug usage is not a victimless crime; so keep marijuana ban
I’m against the legalization of marijuana. People say it’s a victimless crime. [But the manager of a rehabilitation center] said that 10% of the children in Iowa are born with some kind of drug affliction, and 5%
of them suffer permanent damage. As soon as I heard that, these little children are going to suffer their whole lives because of drugs their parents took, I think we can’t quit the war on drugs and we can’t legalize marijuana.

Open Mexican border invites drug trafficking
Look what happened as a consequence of NAFTA. We got a $25 billion trade deficit with Mexico. Narcotics are now pouring across that border, poisoning the hearts and minds and souls of American children. The Colombia drug cartel moved its operations
from Colombia to Mexico, brought up truck plants and manufacturing plants. Why? So they could pour them through that open NAFTA border and bring them into our country and destroy the lives and souls of American children.
