We can stop talking and start cleaning up a mess which has grown to alarming proportions through sheer neglect. America needs common sense. diligent. everyday surveillance of the traditional and brazen smuggling which pollutes the Miami River and. doubtless. many other bays and rivers along our borders. The beginning of common sense is the proper definition of the threat. The threat is the carriernot the cargo. While the cargo may be illegal drugs. illegal refugees or nonpermitted agricultural products. those are merely manifestations. The problemthe realityis that the United States of America has lost control of its borders. The Miami River illustrates that as a nation. we stand vulnerable to the most primitive of sea and air carriers.
