Spencer's thesis

We must weaken drug cartels in an attempt to curb the progress of drug trafficking in the US and Mexico.

  1. I agree that drug cartels must be weakened for this to be successful, but at the same time these people do not live within the US borders so we as a country and government need to support the Mexican community to be successful with their efforts to do this. What other role should the United States play in this effort? Submitted by Allan.

  2. I strongly agree that US and Mexico should be weaken in order to control the drug trafficking. I have been watched the news recently, and I know that Mexico drug gangs have become a top threat to the US, and the large amount of illegal drugs are smuggled from Mexico. I think US and Mexico should make the law and also impose penalties for both smugglers and users. I also think that US and Mexico should support each other to control the drug trafficking.

  3. I agree. If drug cartels are not weakened crime will continue to increase. Drug trafficking is a serious crime and threat. Stricter laws should be enforced for the individuals who are a part of these organizations.

  4. I agree that the US should enforce laws on drug trafficking because to many drugs are being smuggled over the border and it weakens our economy. Veronica.

  5. I am unsure. I think if we try to weaken drug cartels, more violent groups will try to deliver drugs to the U.S. I think we need to figure out why the U.S. is such a target for drug trafficking and why there seems to be a huge demand here.

  6. I think the only way to curb the Mexican cartel is to start by leaglizing marijuana. If it's leagal and people are allowed to grow their own this will dramatically cut into the pocket books of this drug trafficers. Drugs have been one our naitons biggest problems and they continue to be. -Jennifer

  7. I agree. Drug trafficking has become more violent and deadly in recent years in Mexico and it may spread to some parts of the southern United States. How do we weaken the drug cartels? Could legalization of marijuana help in the United States?

  8. I agree. The people included in drug cartels are dangerous and should be stopped. Without having to focus on the problems of drug trafficking we can focus our attention on our more important issues. submitted by jessica

  9. I agree. Drug cartels need to be weakened in order to solve this problem. Not only are the drugs illegal but drug trafficking can lead to violence and be very dangerous.

  10. I do agree, but how are we going to go about this? Didn't you mention in your informative speech that the war on drugs is a failing matter? How are you going to present this as something that needs support? Interested for sure.

  11. I agree and I know this is a huge problem but what can be done to fix it? There seems to be a lot of problems that correlate with this and I am looking forward to seeing how you address this problem in your next speech!

  12. I agree that weakening drug cartel will be a very effective way to curb drug trafficking. That being said, I don't think the association of the manufacturers is the only contribution to the constant high prices. Things like the high risk drug traffickers bear are also factors that contribute to the high prices. I will need to be persuaded on that part but overall, I agree with your thesis statement. - Noreen

  15. I agree with this statement. I also think that by legalizing marijuana, the drug trafficking market would slow way down. - Jamie
