Eric,

Thank you for opening this discussion thread.

This morning I got mad. I read about the 4 kidnapped/killed at Matamoros and had a “Holy S**t” moment. The dynamic team of Brandon & Mayorkas & Andrés Manuel López Obrador have finally stepped in it. Here is why.

Brownsville is the top spring break location in Texas. Matamoros is the border town across from Brownsville Texas. Spring break is just starting. Thousands and thousands of college kids will head there over the next 4 weeks, and ultimately make a bad decision to take a day trip to Mexico. Some won’t come back. It's inevitable.

Unfortunately, it takes piles of dead bodies to get anyone’s attention these days. By June Comer or Jordan will call hearings so we can see the grieving moms who don’t understand why our government could not keep their kids safe.

All this carnage will lie at Washington’s feet because we were too scared or too incompetent to declare the Narco terrorists a “Clear and Present Danger”.

We need to return to the policies of the last administration where tariffs and border searches slow this down. Every truck should be searched. Entry lines should be miles and miles long. Produce can rot for all I care. I am ok if I never eat another “Avocado from Mexico”.

Cheers

The Vietnam War lasted about 20 years and about 58,000 Americans got killed in it. WW 2 lasted about 4 years and about 400,000 Americans died in it. We are losing over 100,000 Americans a year now to drug overdoses and doing almost nothing about. That's more per year than got killed per year in WW 2 and almost twice as many as died during the 20 entire years of the Vietnam War. And as a drug and alcohol counselor, the problem is getting much worse. Yet our government is doing nothing about it.
