Secure the borders. Period. That will help keep ALL the shit out, human AND drug.

The best thing this country could do is treat drugs just as they do the two most popular drugs..alcohol and tobacco. Legalize and tax hell out of them. Look, the primary reason there are drug pushers is because of demand for drugs and when there is a sufficient demand someone will take the risk to be the supplier. Take away the tremendous profit margin and a big part of the problem is solved.

The drug underground economy pays no taxes..sales tax or otherwise. The slams are full of people busted for dope possession and that costs money. I would rather see the slams full of illegal immigrants than some dumb shit who got caught smoking a joint.

For the record I do not now nor have I ever used any narcotic stronger than Wild Turkey..no wait, I have had some of that 151 proof rotgut that passes as rum..

1. Close and secure the borders
2. Secure our air space
3. Secure our ports and coastlines
4. Round up and DEPORT all ILLEGALS
5. Allow border crossings and commerce but highly regulated

All actions that SHOULD have taken place on 09-12-01, and have yet to be put into action…

When it comes to the security of THIS nation, George W. Bush and his administration have been a total failure, if you think not then answer this, WHY is Chertoff touting a new plan to respond to the rising threat that WE, as Americans, face right here in the USA?? The threat of terrorist attacks with IED’s??

I wrote on that topic yesterday, http://texasfred.net/archives/657 , we are in DEEP poop folks, and Bush has put us there, and just think, he was considered to be the ‘lesser of 2 evils’…
