Drugs will still come in, but smugglers will have to find different routes and there will be far fewer people to locate, identify, and stop on terrestrial routes.
The only way to end this is to stop hiring illegals and to stop buying products they are involved with. Eat local small farm raised food (think farmers markets) or raise/grow some of your own food and and check the identity of everyone you hire (maids, Repair man, lawn maintenance, etc). This will hurt the supply chain and relieve the pressure from the SW border, but addicts are always going to get their dope. Trying to stop the drug problem is hopeless, we just need to diffuse (not defuse) the problem at the SW border. </div></div>
This is assuming that a good percentage of the drug traffickers aren't doing it for the money/promise to come to the US.
