Mexican reefer hauler caught with $1.3 million in meth

Quote:
Border agents in California say they recently busted a truck driver from Mexico with 120 pounds of methamphetamine hidden in the wall of a reefer.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, a 24-year-old Mexican citizen was stopped at the Calexico, CA, point of entry on July 15. A gamma ray inspection revealed an altered front wall in the reefer the driver was hauling.

Well you know what they say, 'good drugs, make good neighbors.' Oops, no I think that's fences. 'Good fences, make good neighbors.' I know! Let's build a fence between Mexico and the USA . . .

Gamma Rays?
Isn't that what made Bruce Banner into the Hulk?

And if only 120 lbs of meth is worth 1.3 million... holy cow - I'm in the wrong business. But then again, I don't look good in orange.

Let us open the border so more Mexican and American truckers get equal share on hauling this ####.

They turned the driver over to Immigration. Boy, I bet he won't do THAT again! Now he has to go back to Mexico. They should have at the very least given him a good spanking and no dessert for 30 days. I know, I know...that's a little heavy-handed; but, we have to let these guys know we mean business.

If the US was serious about the so called War on Drugs, they could win it in less than a year.

Make the knowing possession of any currently illegal drug in any amount a death penalty crime.
