Jason Rantz: Border crisis and legalizing drugs – perfect storm slams Seattle, Portland ... your town next?

Drug culture threatens to consume the Pacific Northwest. I know the reality. I live here and have seen firsthand how it’s ravaged communities, worsened the homelessness crisis, and torn families apart. This is a crisis of our own making. 

Drug culture threatens to consume the Pacific Northwest. I know the reality. I live here and have seen firsthand how it’s ravaged communities, worsened the homelessness crisis, and torn families apart. This is a crisis of our own making.  Rather than proactively address the growing cartel problem, progressive leaders in the Pacific Northwest continue to embrace the drug culture. If we don’t act fast, we will lose Seattle and Portland. Drugs are flooding our streets, overdoses are on the rise, and Mexican drug cartels are expanding their reach. There doesn’t appear to be any end in sight. In fact, we’re just getting started.
