Mr. Speaker, that means the authorities will keep saddling people with criminal records.
The media are reporting that, in the run-up to marijuana legalization, U.S. authorities are concerned about slowdowns at the border. With thousands of people still burdened by criminal records for simple marijuana possession, the government is offering no guarantees that there will not be problems at the border after legalization, even if people are pardoned.
Can the government reassure those thousands of people that everything will be fine when they try to cross the border in the future?
