| Finally, some evidence that the cries for the governement to tighten up the border with Mexico have been heard. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized the 81 rolls of Mexican bologna at the Paso Del Norte bridge as the pickup entered the United States. Every drug dog in the patrol station alerted simultaneously.
Thanks, I’m going to end up a vegatarian at this rate. Still have trouble eating processed turkey products after an eighth grade field trip to an Amish turkey farm. Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place. Were the kids wearing seat belts? No. Will throw the damn book at him. He said the agency plans to pursue civil penalties against the Juarez, Mexico, man driving the truck. Maier said the agency won’t release the man’s name until the case goes to trial. Maier said the bologna goes for about $1 a roll in Juarez. When it is sold to a customer it can go for between $5 and $10 a roll in the United States, he said. I predict an immediate drop in the price of bologna nationwide to 50 cents a roll. Civil penalties could include seizure of the merchandise and a fine, which he said will be at least $1,000. He said the driver and three passengers also had their border crossing cards revoked. To cover his court cost, I recommend to counsel that this man be advised to sell the rights to the idea of edible seating to my company. | ||
