the news says that Mexican narcoterrorists have put contracts on American agents and border patrol. Unbelievable. The news says the Fuentes Gang will pay millions of dollars to kill our agents. Why not? Think about the billions of dollars they are making in heroin and cocaine sales in America. And what are we doing about it? The drug czar wants more halfway houses, more counselors, more cops. Beam me up. We got more narcotics in America, and it is coming in faster than Viagra into Niagara. It is time to use the military wisely at our border. I yield back the bull's-eyes on the backs of American drug agents.
