If those in attendance haven’t already
dodged a bullet or lived in fear of trespassers and violent invaders, they
probably know someone who has. As long as our border remains porous, drug
trafficking, human smuggling, murder and kidnapping will continue to be part of
the rural Texas landscape. These criminal actions also will harm our food
supply as they force farmers and ranchers to sell their property and abandon
their operations in order to keep their families out of harm’s way.
The united call for increased federal
assistance was loud and clear today in San Angelo. It’s a call that goes out
daily from rural Texans who live and work in the face of danger. To hear their
voices and testimony, tune into “Texas Traffic – True Stories of
Drug and Human Smuggling.”
