ON THE TRAIL
Re "Tracking smugglers, the old-fashioned way," Column One, May
12
Accounts of Border Patrol agents pretending to be Daniel Boone on a
bear hunt convince me that their efforts to interdict drugs are a
complete waste of time.
The agents in the article brag about stopping $30 million in drugs,
but it is well known that the drug cartels are moving many times that
amount into the United States every year.
It's time to end an expensive, counter-productive game that benefits
drug cartels more than anyone else.
