harrington shook his head sadly.-there are a little over twelve hundred fifty miles of border between texas and mexico alone all defined by the rio grande river.-in some places you can almost step across the river.-there is no way to stop the smuggling entirely.-but if we can even slow it down and catch enough of them to cut their profits , smuggling wont be as attractive or as lucrative as it is right now.-thats the best we can hope for and maybe well save a few young people from getting hooked on it.-but to stop it ? -no , im afraid not.-but that doesnt keep us from trying .
