James Traficant: “the Drug Czar opposes it, the White House opposes it, Immigration opposes it, the Pentagon opposes it. They all oppose…”

“the Drug Czar opposes it, the White House opposes it, Immigration opposes it, the Pentagon opposes it. They all oppose the Traficant program that authorizes but not mandates the use of troops to straighten out our border. But they also have some interesting company. The Colombian drug cartel is now reported opposing it. The Mexican drug lords oppose it and fear it. The Golden Triangle heroin bosses for the first time are worried about getting heroin into America. The unusual thing about this program is, the only support I have is a number of Members of Congress and the American people, in growing numbers. Mr. Speaker, the White House will not get it until there is a six-foot syringe full of heroin shoved up the asset of some bureaucrat at the White House. Beam me up. What about our children? What about addiction? How many years do we lament the use of narcotics, and we allow it to come across our border? Only one of every three trucks are searched. I say on the House floor today, a nuclear warhead could cross our border and we would not know it. I yield back any common sense left in the government of our country.”
