As Sheriff Lucio said. the drug dealers. the drug cartels outman them. they outspend them. and they outgun them. Thats because they have more money than we have on this side of the border. And to give you an example of how the drug cartels work. and how it is very difficult for the sheriffs and the Border Patrol to stop the invasion of the drugs. down here on the Texas/Mexico border. the Rio Grande River is about as wide as this House of Representatives. And planes fly in from Mexico. They fly out into the Gulf of Mexico. come straight in across the Gulf of Mexico and the border of the United States. and they drop their cocaine. marijuana. and then other drug mules pick that up and move that throughout the United States on these interstates that are depicted on this map.
