Major changes need to take place. We have militarized societies (including CR’s police) to fight it, and just have you have mentioned, it is cheaper and more plentiful than ever. There is a plethora of obvious corruption that keeps it going. We repeatedly imprison these peons (for show) and the real bosses are pretty much untouchable. This is a major SCAM on society! We can and should re-allocate the funding to be better utilized in society. Instead we waste it, funding ridiculous things like a radar program in the Coco’s Islands. If one massive load gets thru, then it is a windfall for narcos who do things like invest in real estate to launder the funds. All governments are complicit. Countries like El Salvador, Guatamala and Honduras are failed states with the highest murder rates in the world. They further add to the problem by having a mass exodus of their citizens trying to escape the violence. They illegally immigrate to other countries an increase financial burdens on systems. How much longer can this idiotic and corrupt policy continue? Until people demand change from their governments, we will be stuck in this vicious cycle.
