With just $1.4 billion in taxpayer aid. the argument goes. we can train Mexican police and military to better fight the armed elements of the drug cartels. But weve been there before. Our border patrol agents in Texas and California have already seen U.S.-provided Humvees and other equipment being used by drug cartels and by rogue units of the Mexican military assisting the smugglers. Mr. Speaker. handing out another $1 billion in taxpayer money to a Mexican government so rife with corruption so we can watch the scenario repeat itself makes about as much sense as dropping cash out of helicopters.
