FOCUS ON BORDER, NOT POT

I am responding to the article, "Feds cast wide net in pot-dispensary 
blitz" (July 19), about how the federal government is shutting down 
marijuana dispensaries in California because they are in violation of 
federal law, regardless of the fact that Californians voted to 
legalize marijuana for medical use in 1996.

With all aspects of our society poised to come crashing down around 
our heads, I must say that I am totally disgusted with the federal 
government for spending one dime on this nonissue when there are so 
many areas that truly need attention.

How is it that the federal government cannot do anything about the 
massive illegal immigration problem -- after all, protecting the 
nation's borders is the basic responsibility of government -- but has 
time to fiddle with this nonsensical issue? I am so disgusted with my 
government I truly want to sit and cry.
