After all, 14,000 trucks/yr is no small task to
inspect for Cocaine and contraband - out of which - we
inspect about 5%. Imagine what the inspection would be
in a free market equation?
We need to understand that Mexico does not equal

***the 400 billion dollar legal drug business? hmmm... what has that to do
with the illegal drug business, to which you refer? I would wonder why we
would exempt a legal business from free trade, on what principle; and then I
wonder why we are fighting a "drug war" that is 95% ineffective. From a
trade standpoint, if all those resources have little effect, let's look at
another way...or even revisit the problem we are trying to solve.
