Close the Border!
The sole reason why the borders must be heavily guarded, or blocked with a giant wall of white bread:
Man apprehended for bologna smuggling
Las Cruces, N.M.
A Mexican man was apprehended for smuggling 845 pounds of bologna and 100 pounds of cheese over the Mexican-American border, the Department of Homeland Security reported Monday. The bologna, divided into 80 large rolls and contained in 14 suitcases, was discovered during a routine baggage inspection at a checkpoint north of Las Cruces, N.M.
The man allegedly wanted to sell the bologna at a swap meet, as prices for bologna in the United States can be three to four times those in Mexico. A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol spokesperson said the discovery of the bologna could prevent various medical problems, as most Mexican bologna is not eligible for sale in the United States and could pose the risk of classical swine fever.
After he was stopped, the man voluntarily surrendered the fixings and continued on his way.
