REDIRECT DRUG RAIDS

It certainly looks like the feds (i.e., the Drug Enforcement
Administration) are attempting to demonstrate that our tax dollars
are hard at work with the many raids conducted in the Inland Empire
and Los Angeles this week.

If only the federal government would use the same threats of the RICO
law against businesses employing illegals.

Instead of making life more difficult for patients with severe
medical problems, federal law enforcement would better serve the
public by targeting business owners who flout the law, drive wages
down and don't care about American workers.

As far as the medical marijuana dispensaries are concerned, the band
Traffic said it best back in 1972, "Light Up or Leave Me Alone."
