There is a lot in the news this week about a possible government shutdown that is tied to funds to build "the wall." What is missed in the discussion is the approximately $20 billion a year in drug cash that goes south across our southern boder every year into Mexico. We currently seize less than one percent of the drug money. If we could increase the seizure rate to say five percent, within fifteen years the wall would be paid for. This proposal should be politically acceptable to both Washington, D.C. and Mexico City. There are a few straight forward steps we have to take to increase our drug cash seizure rate. All are straight forward and are revenue generating. I detail them in an article that is published in today's (April 25th) American Thinker.
