Gary "Rusty" Fleming Jr. - endorser
Giving legal status to drive a vehicle is virtually giving criminals the right to do almost anything they want. By receiving a valid drivers license it opens the door for the people that receive it to conduct business, open accounts, lease properties and in some cases even vote.
We don’t give (citizen) convicted felons many of the rights that people who committed a felony to get here will have.
The immigration laws in our country must be changed, I think on that point all sides can agree.
What I, and many people like me, vehemently disagree with, is rewarding people for committing a federal crime, whether or not our government or current administration chooses to enforce those laws or not.
I don’t believe we should just categorically box every person in America that is here illegally and deport them—I think there needs to be sensible compromise on both sides of the issue.
But giving status to illegal residents is not the answer either. It will only serve to make real immigration reform take a back seat and kick that can a little further down the road instead of dealing with the issue we are faced with.
Gary A. “Rusty” Fleming Jr.

Rusty is recognized by national media and law enforcement agencies as an expert on the Mexican drug cartels. Rusty has studied the cartels from the inside out, interviewing dozens of active cartel operatives from Mexico and the U.S., ranging from street dealers to the upper management of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in existence today. Rusty has been keynote speaker and presenter at dozens of conferences, to teach and inform law enforcement agencies from around the country about the inner workings of drug cartels and their relationships with gangs in America. Many of his videos are now part of standard curriculum for Texas DPS and various departments of Homeland Security and the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition.

The book serves as a road map as to how the cartels have evolved and the consequences of continuing to minimize and dismiss their true objectives.
