| "War on Drugs" | “See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel.” | Milton Friedman | |
| Immigration and Customs Enforcement | “We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in — and we’re stopping a lot of them — but we’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we get them again, we bring them out. It’s crazy.” | Donald Trump | May 2018 |
