James Traficant: “We just supported the McCollum amendment, and I congratulate the gentleman for incremental gains in securing America…”

“We just supported the McCollum amendment, and I congratulate the gentleman for incremental gains in securing America from illegal narcotics. International narcotics traffickers are international terrorists. Period. Our borders have been overwhelmed by tons and tons of narcotics. One hundred percent of all the heroin, 100 percent of all cocaine is a stone cold import coming across not only our Mexican border but, contrary to what is the popular thought around here, our Canadian border as well, that can be assured, and through our many ports of entry and other security check points. It has been pointed out that 14,000 kids die in America each year and the majority of them are victims of international narcotic traffickers who made available powerful drugs. Mr. Chairman, who speaks today for the youth of America with noses running, eyes watering, stomach cramps, bowels breaking loose, pain and suffering, because no one really has ever really waged a war on drugs, as far as I am concerned? There are some in the Congress that want to hand out free needles to make this destruction somewhat safer. Beam me up, literally. There is no intelligent life left here.”
