Of course it involves Mexico. When it’s legal competition will drain resources from cartels / corrupt. Much of the money we send the cartels ends up in the hands of the politicians. Cut it off. Federal legalization would spur US growers. Put a tariff on Mexican reefer crossing the border.

It costs us over 100 billion a year today to deal with reported/accountable aspects of illegal immigration, many times the cost of a wall right there. Trump has renegotiated trade deals and other accommodations which do in fact result in 'Mexico' paying for it, and of course Trump meant that on a couple levels too.
