As drugs and illegal weapons continue to come across the U.S.-Mexico border, Congressman Bart Gordon called on President Obama today to develop a comprehensive border security strategy as soon as possible.

In a letter sent to President Obama, Congressman Gordon wrote, “With the exception of Missouri and Indiana, more meth labs were discovered in my home state of Tennessee in 2007 than anywhere else in our country... It is not only important that we halt the domestic production of meth and other drugs, but that we also stop these deadly substances, in addition to illegal weapons and other items, from coming across the U.S.-Mexico border.â€
