#3 Great, another piece of useless legislation. Mexicans will just start dragging logs across the border and nobody will even notice until until there are logjams on major highways in Southern California. Wait, that won't be noticed either. Never mind.

#4 Most illegal logging is of exotic hardwoods that grow in such places as Southeast Asia, the Amazon Basin, much of Central America, and central Africa. Some of these trees being cut are in danger of extinction. Some types of rosewood have had their range reduced to the point they are only grown in some national parks. Ebony, a pure black hardwood that grows in Africa, is now hard to find, and most of the trees are smaller - 2' in diameter, against 5'-8' in diameter 30 or 40 years ago. Half the teak cut in Thailand and Burma is done illegally.
