No, but require mandatory rehabilitation therapy for those who are addicted to drugs
@99K6JP81yr1Y
Yes, and they're should also be people to talk with the addicts and help them stop.
@997HKDP1yr1Y
Yes, but only to people who it is dangerous to withdraw
@997DTQF1yr1Y
No, but they should create more projects/organisations to help drug addicts break free from that cycle and also help them to get back into life and society.
@98MJWLM1yr1Y
Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue and the "safe havens" should also help with rehab

President Biden is considering executive action that could prevent people who cross illegally into the United States from claiming asylum, several people with knowledge of the proposal said Wednesday. The move would suspend longtime guarantees that give anyone who steps onto U.S. soil the right to ask for safe haven.The order would put into effect a key policy in a bipartisan bill that Republicans thwarted earlier this month, even though it had some of the most significant border security restrictions Congress has contemplated in years.The bill would have essentially shut down the border to new entrants if more than an average of 5,000 migrants per day tried to cross unlawfully in the course of a week, or more than 8,500 tried to cross in a given day.The action under consideration by the White House would have a similar trigger for blocking asylum to new entrants, the people with knowledge of the proposal say. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.The move, if enacted, would echo a 2018 effort by President Donald J. Trump to block migration, which was assailed by Democrats and blocked by federal courts.
