So it doesn't mean that they are producing them all in Mexico, but
they might be produced south of Mexico. They might be produced in China
and come on into Mexico and then be brought into the United States
because the border is so porous. It is not just the illegal aliens. It is also the criminals, the drug
smugglers, and the drug trade. The Mexican Government has announced, in
less than a decade, they have had 100,000 people who were killed in the
drug wars. The drug wars are coming about because there is a huge
demand in the United States for these drugs, some $60 billion market
for illegal drugs in America. So that demand is being met by, in many
cases, Mexicans, but also Central and South Americans who set this
network up and this drug distribution chain. I asked the Drug Enforcement Agency: What happens if magically
tomorrow morning everybody wakes up in their home country and there is
not a single illegal alien in the United States of America, not one
person unlawfully present in America; what happens to the illegal drug
distribution system then? They tell me it severs at least one link in every distribution chain
of illegal drugs in America. It severs at least one link and, in some
cases, every link and, in most cases, many links. That means that we
have an illegal immigration problem and an illegal drug problem that
are tied together, it creates the stream within which this traffic
flows, and it brings about the crime and the death. Mr. Speaker, we have people now who are sitting in there thinking:
Well, but how did 100,000 people become victims of a drug war homicide
or drug wars?
