We should not focus on the wishes. the pleas. and the intense lobbying by the drug companies. Seniors face enormous hurdles as they face their declining years with the escalating costs of prescription drugs. We should not add this additional hurdle to the list. with Customs and Border Patrol agents forcibly seizing legal. FDAapproved medicines procured with a doctors prescription as seniors come back across the border. Finally. in closing. as we think about this amendment. we should also consider what the true priorities of the Customs and Border Patrol should be. We are at war. It is a different type of war than we have ever faced beforea war on terror.
