Stopping one in eight drug deliveries across the border? No wonder the DEA is bragging about this arrest. It's far better than their normal apprehension record.
I’m reluctant to blame the DEA. They get zero cooperation from Governor Perry, who obviously favors an open, unregulated border. Even if Bush suddenly became willing to enforce the law and build the fence, Perry would resist. He’s just as culpable as the drug lords who send this poison into our country.
A fence might help with that 1/8th figure. But no Jorge and Gordo Teddy don’t dive a hoot about our sovereignty.
