In July 2011 Obama, bypassed Congress, and made a deal with the president of Mexico to allow the Mexican trucks to come into the U. S. This deal has made it easier for Mexican trucks to bring in illegal drugs from the Mexican drug cartels.
As we all know our U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers cannot
inspect every truck at the local port of entries but last week they
made a record-breaking seizure of seven tons of marijuana
at the Nogales, Ariz. port of entry. The seizure occurred after CBP
officers selected a 1994 international tractor-trailer driven by a
26-year-old man from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, for inspection. Inside the
trailer they found 600 bales of marijuana, which were packaged in boxes
manifested as steel containers. The marijuana had a combined weight of
14,151 pounds and a value of up to $12 million.
Also last Friday at the Wilcox Station in the Tucson Sector border
patrol agents working at state Route 90 checkpoint referred a semi
tractor-trailer for a secondary section after the K-9 team alerted them
of possible drugs. Upon inspection, they discovered nearly 2,900 pounds
of marijuana concealed in the semi tractor trailer, the drug load was
estimated to have a value at $1,450,000.00.
