This is an important symbolic vote, and we've worked on this for years. I didn't realize how difficult it was to convince the Department of Homeland Security what was going on here, but this letter in response that they have written where they bragged about interdicting one person with 400 pounds of marijuana is just somehow that's addressing all of these tactical positions that look over all of our transportation routes inside the United States. Congress needs to send a message we can't tolerate that inside this country. We wouldn't if we were at war. We're in a drug war.
