FEENEY and I authored a letter that went to Secretary of Homeland Security Chertoff on August 30 of last year and asked him to take out these lookout posts and take those drug smugglers off the top of those mountains. Thats the short version of it. We got the letter back. the answer back from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security. not the Secretary. and their explanation from the letter was. "Recently. agents in the San Diego sector. using advanced technology. discovered that scouts for a drug trafficking organization were watching Border Patrol movements and were trying to coordinate the crossing of narcotics into the United States. Using this intelligence. Border Patrol agents seized 400 pounds of marijuana and the vehicle used to transport the narcotics." Thats their huge accomplishment for $65 billion worth of drugs pouring across our southern border and drug smugglers with assault weapons taking up tactical military positions to control our transportation routes. And so they explain to us that they have interdicted 400 pounds of marijuana. which isnt even an indictable offense in that region of the world. It was 250 pounds. but they had too many criminals so they had to raise to it to 500 pounds.
