Well this thread is not really about legal immigration, but I will say I can agree we can make it easier for people to come here legally, but that does not mean everyone who wants to come right now can come.
The better question is did the mob dissolve after alcohol prohibition ended? I think we can all agree that they did not.
Competition with who? Drug cartels could arguably easily undercut the prices of the legitimate competitors, and continue to make money selling drugs. Additionally, they do not have to run legitimate businesses persay, they can run front businesses and sell the drugs illegally (free of government red tape, taxes, licenses etc, which presumably means cheaper).
if getting pot her when Illegal, is still much cheaper then dealing with "red" tape, then does not not suggest how bad we have lost? after all would not being Illegal and having to smuggle it in..be the ultimate in red tape?
