Happy to share the pics...
Funny you mention the "smuggling report". There isn't much love for Anderson Cooper up there after his visit and newspiece. Bar owners and the resort operators were less than pleased with the "spin" of the story. Personally, aside from the issue of Border Saftey and whether or not the comming changes will help,....it will and is hurting, some of these buisnessmen/women in our country. Bar/resturant owners told me this is the worst volume they've seen in over a decade. There are many reasons for it, but the border issues have exacerbated the situation. The Angles a special place logisticaly. IMO, it is not an easy spot at all for terrorists to oppourtunitize, despite being "wide open". But lesislativly speaking, it's easier to make a "one size fits all rule", vs. deliniating special circumstances for each persons economic concern. |
