But to me it's irrelevant because driving under the influence of all drugs would still be illegal. Tens of thousands of people are killed every year in the US by people driving under the influence of alcohol and I don't think that alcohol should be illegal. Why should any other drugs be different?

But I would say that known membership in one of the major drug cartels would be one of those extraneous circumstances I mentioned.

It only discusses property in Mexico, not the U.S. However it does say this: CAN FOREIGNERS REALLY OWN PROPERTY IN MEXICO? Yes, Americans and other foreigners may obtain direct ownership of property in the interior of Mexico. However, under Mexican law, foreigners cannot own property outright within the restricted zone. So if we have a reciprocal agreement with Mexico, as BAR states, then Mexican nationals can purchase property here. BK
