Mr. Speaker. the Drug Czar opposes it. the White House opposes it. Immigration opposes it. the Pentagon opposes it. They all oppose the Traficant program that authorizes but not mandates the use of troops to straighten out our border. But they also have some interesting company. The Colombian drug cartel is now reported opposing it. The Mexican drug lords oppose it and fear it. The Golden Triangle heroin bosses for the first time are worried about getting heroin into America. The unusual thing about this program is. the only support I have is a number of Members of Congress and the American people. in growing numbers.
