That is why this legislation is important. because we have an obligation to help our neighbors. because by stopping the flow of drugs it affects other issues. policy concerns many of us have talked about. Number one is the flow of drugs into our country. And if you care about illegal immigration. if that has been a point you have debated on this floor. you argued we have got to do something about illegal immigration. well. frankly. safe streets and communities in Mexico and Central America are vital to ensuring that families and their children feel safe in their own communities. rather than having to leave for the United States illegally for a safe place to live. And if you if you care about the arguments that many have made that narcotraffickers are crossing our borders and the Mexicans need to do more. well. they are. Again. 30.000 Mexican troops have been deployed against the narcotraffickers.
