POLL FRONT PAGE - LOWER RIGHT
Throughout her tenure, Lam said she preferred to focus the limited resources of the U.S. Attorney's Office on significant prosecutions instead of handling hundreds of routine border cases.
“We are never going to win a war against narcotics and smuggling,” she said in a 2004 speech at the University of California San Diego. “There is simply too much. We can't address all of it. Not every single person can be prosecuted.”
