                        U.S. BORDER IS WIDE OPEN

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the border is wide open. Heroin and 
cocaine are coming across the border at, listen to the report, ``record 
volumes.'' And nobody is doing anything about it.
  Now, look, when a 10-year-old kid can get heroin as easily as he can 
get aspirin, something is dangerously wrong with America.
  It is time to secure our homeland, time to secure our borders; and we 
cannot do that with the neighborhood crime watch. It is time to use the 
military.
  My colleagues, I yield back the failed national drug strategy that we 
have in effect.
  By the way, the victims are our own street kids. There is no war on 
drugs.
