Fast Drugs

Just yesterday, I wrote about Mexico's absurd demands. The attorney general of Mexico was quoted as saying, ”It’s truly absurd that a person can get together 50 to 100 high powered arms, grenade launchers, fragmentation grenades, and can transport this cargo to our country.”

What is truly absurd is Mexico wants all these border privileges and no wall or any real security coming north, but wants complete control and security heading south. If we put troops on the border that's not acceptable, but the Mexican army can go where it pleases even on American soil.

Back in February, I wrote a piece, The Steel Sieve Of Security, in which I discussed the abuse of the Fast and Secure Trade program at our border. Well, guess what it's continuing unabated.

From the El Paso Times comes word that the Border Patrol discovered
262 bundles of marijuana in a three-foot deep compartment in the truck of a Mexican driver enrolled in the FAST program. Another 244 bundles was discovered in the truck of a different Mexican driver, also a member of the program. Are we starting to see the picture yet? Someone contact the Mexican attorney general and demand that he explain this absurdity!
