Pharmacies just on the other side of the US/Mexico border are selling the exact same prescription drugs as those available in Texas pharmacies at drastically reduced prices, entirely thanks to the cartelized nature of domestic pharmaceutical prices. While it is not illegal to buy these drugs for personal use and transport them across the border, it is illegal to buy them and bring them across the border for sale.
When you think about what a guy like Greg Abbott is doing, when he rounds up a bunch of “illegal immigrants” and buses them around the country, its worth considering what does and does not constitute as crime.
So, its funny. I remember another statewide leader taking a historic bus trip with a group of immigrants.
Bernie Sanders Heads to Canada for Affordable Insulin: The senator took people with diabetes on a bus trip across the border to dramatize high prices in the U.S. that he attributes to corporate greed.
