I was with other Texas sheriffs. and we saw the same thing where the drug dealers sneak into the United States. and they have paths into our country and they know what we know. Let me explain to you that. The Border Patrol of the United States patrols the first 25 miles from the border inland. So the drug dealers make sure that they get that dope 30 miles inland because once it is 30 miles into the United States. they can take it anywhere else they want to in the United States. This is all they have to do is avoid the Border Patrol for the first 25 miles because that is all the Border Patrol is allowed to patrol by law. That is why we need not only the Border Patrol but the sheriffs. the Texas sheriffs. the Arizona sheriffs and the California and New Mexico sheriffs. all involved in border security. So that is the first group that we have to protect ourselves against. That is the duty of government.
