The proper action of this Senate. in my judgment. would be to vote to decertify Mexico and place both Mexico and those who influence her on notice that a price will be extracted for the deaths of 14.000 Americans every year by illegal narcotics. a price will be extracted for failing to choose sides in the war against narcotics. Mr. President. I know this is a difficult decision for every Member of the Senate. But we do not face the hardest choices. The real choices are made by our agents in the Drug Enforcement Administration. by those on border control. by the families who wait up every night to see whether their fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters in law enforcement in our cities and on our borders will come home alive. Our choice is easy. Look at the facts. review the evidence. and tell the truth.
