...better border security in the U.S. and better policing in Mexico will not make the drug wars go away. Each year an estimated 350 tons of cocaine, together with other drugs, finds its way to the U.S., while more than $25 billion flows south into the cartels' coffers. The Obama Administration hopes to reduce demand by expanding drug-court programs that require rehabilitation.
