Did you know that the border patrol has to turn loose any drug smuggler with less than 300lbs of MJ?

Question

And so now what? We turn illegal aliens loose to go back across the border and bring in some more dope. Heres my gripe: If a US citzen was caught with that amount of drugs he wouldnt be turned loose to roam the streets of our country. Why are we treating these illegal thugs better than we treat our own citizens. Why cant we have troops on the border?

I dont care who you work for or claim to work for, they turned the 7 illegal aliens loose that had brought in less than 300lbs of MJ in the country. Its been all over the news. They did not even send them back across the border.

Answer 1

Sent e/mail 2 your Sen& Gov & Bush about your greavence.Close the borders & NO anmsity

Answer 2

Ya...I find it pretty sick that they are doing this but will ruin a kids life forever for a small amount of drugs. God forbid you get caught in school with a couple of Midol and 0 tolerence. The war on drugs is a joke........especially when you see stuff like this happening. Not to mention that all drug dealers now know we won't do anything as long as it's under a certain amount.

Answer 3

Maybe because the CIA is the source of all the drugs that come into the USA. Great profits to fund covert activities all over the globe . So if the government doesnt want to stop the inflow of drugs int the country , how can you expect them to inforce immigration laws . Or any laws other then the ones they make money off of .

Answer 4

Nobody gets turned loose for any weight requirements. If it's too small for USBP & DEA to mess with then the case is turned over to a local agency. The USBP will make hundreds of arrests for narcotics smuggling and those cases that are remanded for federal prosecution are forwarded to the DEA for presentation to the U.S. Attorney. If DEA decides they don't have the resources to handle that particular case then it is often turned over to local agencies for prosecution under local law. However, often the agents can identify the smugglers but U.S. Attorney's office decides not to prosecute. Most U.S. Attorneys want the subject to be in physical contact with the narcotics, transporting them, before he/she will accept the case.

I don't know where you got the 300# limitation but I've worked from one end of the country to the other and nobody's ever been released for that reason. There are releases but for other causes.
