the
problems

"We'd be crazy not to acknowledge there are billions of dollars
involved in this, and that the capability to corrupt on both sides of the
border is enormous. The question is not whether corruption exists, but
what we can do about it."
- Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey, 8/23/97, speaking during his tour of the
Texas-Mexico border.
(We have some suggestions for what to do about it...)
