Other than international terrorism. there is no greater threat to the safety. the health. and the wellbeing of our citizens than the increasing flow of illegal drugs into our country. into our neighborhoods. into our schools. and into our homes. They are destroying lives. they are destroying families. and they are destroying communities. In my home State of Minnesota I am told by local law enforcement leaders there are direct pipelines of illegal drugs now. especially methamphetamine from Mexico. right into the State of Minnesota. Border security is not just a Southern State crisis or a Northern State problem. Homeland Security is not just a Federal agency with increased priorities. As I listen to local law enforcement officials throughout Minnesota. they say we are losing the war against these narcotics terrorists.
