They arrested and pursued and identified narcotics smugglers along their 76 miles of border. and 2.8 million acres. and they would seize roughly 100.000 pounds of illegal narcotics every year. But when we created the Department of Homeland Security. we did something very unwise. We decided by splitting the CBP. the Customs and Border Protection. from the ICE agents. we left several agencies in the lurch. One is the Air and Marine Division that didnt either picket fence on the border or do investigations inside. So we are trying to work that out. which has been easier to do over in the water border on the Gulf of Mexico in the Caribbean Sea. but has been much tougher on the Mexican land border with the United States.
