Well, a short answer is no we do not owe them sanctuary from druglords .
Perhaps a little lifeboat ethics would be useful here: I would gladly trade our drug addicts/drug pushers for their non-drug users. It could be an even 1 for 1 exchange.I was watching a report this morning on the influx of illegal immigrants. They interviewed one lady who said the reason she and her children entered America was to escape the danger of living in her own country that is now controlled by drug cartels. It dawned on me, the drug cartels exist because of the American market and demand for illegal drugs. A huge often unspoken cause of the illegal immigration problem is possibly American-made; our demand for illegal drugs that have made their country uninhabitable due to the organized crime culture that now exists in their country. If American vices have inadvertently created a drug cartel controlled war zone in their country, do we have a moral obligation to offer the otherwise law abiding citizens of those affected countries sanctuary as refugees?
And how is that so, cause it sure ain't the farmers doing the trafficking:
