IOW,mules.

Really! So if we were to open the boarders then we could stop this
kind of drug trade.

Think it through...

If we open the borders, then the ones who are now bringing drugs across to pay
for their passage can just as easily -- probably *more* easily -- continue to
bring drugs across, this time to sell, and *keep* the money instead of having
to give it to the people who smuggle them across.

In other words, open borders = dramatically *increased* incentive to smuggle
drugs into the country. And dramatically increased *opportunity* to do so.
