Todays challenge. and it is a far more difficult one. is to police the land border. How can we go about doing that? First. we need to recognize that we never had much luck closing the land border to illegal aliens in this country. Yet it is much easier to find a 150pound illegal alien hiking north than it is to find a ton of cocaine that is divided into packages of a few pounds a piece. each of which is secreted in a tomato can. packed among cans of real tomatoes that are crated and carried aboard a 35foot trailer truck. Simply stated. the chief threat to our national security in the 1990s may well come from hoards of red tomato cans. rather than hoards of red Communists.
