Woody Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Okay. I just heard something on the news that I clearly don't understand. There are certain sectors of the border where if you are crossing from Mexico with Less than 500 pounds of drugs ... they will just let you pass. No questions asked. Yes, I said five hundred. What is going on with our borders? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 I agree. But for now ... it sounds too crazy even for me to believe. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Outta Here Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 The drugs are seized, but the persons are not persecuted. It's a cost-efficiency problem as the war on drugs is much larger than a mere 500 pound shipment. Not that I agree that these persons should not be persecuted...but it's all about the cost of doing so. Quote

Woody Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 It sounds like we need to apply some of that stimulus money to the border patrol agents. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
carolaa Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm guessing that less than 500 lbs could very well be just for one's personal use or sharing among family and friends, not necessarily for dealing purposes, which is by far the bigger crime. Quote
Woody Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 500 pounds. WOW ! No matter what you believe ... it is STILL a CRIME. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Outta Here Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Yes, it is a crime; at least until they legalize marijuana. There are a number of crimes that citizens of the United States commit every day that go unpenalized as well. Quote
Woody Posted April 22, 2009 Author Posted April 22, 2009 Yes. I realize that we have millions of illegals here. Does not make it right. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Outta Here Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Agreed. It does not make it right. Maybe we should start another thread about all the illegal activity that law enforcement allows to happen without penalizing the citizens of the United States. Certainly, there's a lot more of that type of activity going on that what's happening on the borders. Hmm. Off to ponder a new thread... Quote
Members phkrause Posted April 23, 2009 Members Posted April 23, 2009 Most definitely dgrimm, do you realize how much 500lbs looks like. I guess it depends what it is. If its weed it could be a trackertrailer full. And Redwood I had heard this a while ago. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
