Thanks DPS for the large seizures of marijuana in our area! The Border Patrol
is doing a great job in stopping some of this traffic but a lot is getting
past them. It is not their fault but the fault of our former governor who is
not putting enough emphasis in getting border security resources and it is
the fault of the congress to provide what is needed for security of America’s
borders. The DPS is catching some of what gets past the border agents but
there is a lot missed by them too. Anyway, hats off to those who serve our
communities and borders!
