Mr. Chairman. that is the problem we are talking about. and we see potential problems. We are fighting in California a monumental problem with illegal immigration. and we are trying to stop that. We look at the drugs coming across the flow. and on those drug ridealongs. 99 percent have involved illegal aliens. American citizens that are dealing in drugs know that if an illegal is caught. then there is not as much penalty that is going to go to them versus if they are an American citizen. So they use. I mean they use these people to sell the drugs. and they get busted. and it is a disaster in what is happening. In shipping. we have ships coming in. and the preferred method of getting drugs now into the United States is with cargo because we cannot check all those containers. And we have police department. we have INS. we have Border Patrol with their dogs. all going through the containers from shipping. Now. this is not Just our southern border. but coming In from all different countries. and they are working hand in hand to combat the problems that we have. My wife is a principal in Encinitas. and we have many of the illegals living in the canyons. and yet the police department cannot go in there and bust or arrest these individuals.
