Honestly I voted for Measure 110 because I believe arresting and locking people up for possession of a small amount of drugs who aren't otherwise breaking any laws (such as DUI) is a waste of law enforcement resources. I never could have imagined the death, distruction and crime it would cause.

No People that use drugs don't want help they want more drugs if they pretend to want help they don't go to jail and are able to get more drugs and laugh at the system

Fentanyl is already illegal and it carries the possibility of death when consumed. If the real possibility of death, as well as seeing friends and others dying doesn't stop people from using it, then nothing will. Removing the fentanyl from our hospitals, secure our boarders and remove the threat.

Never dshould have passed to decriminailze drugs and reversing it now will not help,many peple are too addicted to get help now and the only thing to stop fentanyl is to close the border, democrats do not want to do that as they are hoping to allow them to vote.

This has been a political joke. It was morality signaling with intent to never follow thru or create the supportive infrastructure. Continual setbacks in implementation, esp. the admin side. + police refused giving citations in 110 leading to recovery, cause big mad about funding. INTENTIONAL FLOP$

Because securing our borders is the only real solution that will help the fentanyl crisis.

Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
