James Traficant: “The Mexican drug cartel crossed our border and opened fire on our security forces. Reports say the Mexican drug barons…”

On the recordApril 3, 2000
The Mexican drug cartel crossed our border and opened fire on our security forces. Reports say the Mexican drug barons have placed a $200,000 bounty on any American border guard. Think about it. If these assassins kill five American guards, they make $1 million. If that is not enough to bust your buns, Mexico apologized by saying it was very, quote-unquote, regrettable. Beam me up. It is time to secure our borders. If our military can vaccinate dogs in Haiti, they can secure our borders. I yield back the fact that Congress keeps turning the other cheek, and Mexican drug barons are now servicing all four cheeks. Think about it.
