Ninety percent. again. of all drugs smuggled into this country come over the Mexican border. That area has become almost lawless. Hundreds of murders related to drug trafficking go unaddressed both on the Mexican side of that border and our side. We really need to have a border enforcement organization that is negotiated by treaty by amending NAFTA in order that we can have proper enforcement along that very porous part of our country which makes us so vulnerable. Our border guards are overwhelmed. We know that pedestrian traffic has increased by 55 percent across that border. according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. and all kinds of vehicular traffic.
