Got something you want to say about border security?

A panel of state legislators wants public input on how effective Texas has been in responding to Mexican drug violence.

Members of the Texas House’s Public Safety Committee and its Border and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee plan to have a joint hearing Thursday in McAllen on ongoing border security efforts.

In addition to comments from the community, lawmakers will hear testimony from local, state and federal authorities on their efforts to combat the potential for spillover violence.

Look. It's very simple. Just legalize drugs. Make the drugs as safe as you can. Tax them. Provide rehab. No profit motive, no drug lords.
