Is this ironic?

Conservatives want to target supply in the war on drugs. They don't want legalization and oppose tax-payer funding for treatment and education.

This creates a black-market for the drugs. The black markets are run by foreign drug cartels in Latin America. To escape the violent cartels, families flee their homes and come to the US as they are desperate to find safety and start their lives away from the cartels.

Conservatives don't want to make it easier for these people to enter the US legally, so they enter illegally. Conservatives then rail against illegal immigration - much of it caused by the war on drugs they support.
