Mr. Speaker. some say we have no border security. The Associated Press reported that border authorities inspecting a car crossing into the United States from Mexico uncovered a food item in a strange place. Customs and Border Patrol officers searched the mans car. and they found two pounds of raw pork. oh. heaven forbid. The meat was wrapped in foil inside two disposable diapers. Bringing in pork is prohibited because the "other white meat" can carry hog cholera. Some say we have no border security. Authorities seized these items and fined the man $250. Mr. Speaker. you are telling me. this report tells me that the Border Patrol can stop 2 pounds of pork in a diaper from entering this country. but we cant stop $58 billion worth of illegal drugs and half a million illegals crossing the border each year? This is crazy. We must fix this problem before people start smuggling themselves in diapers.
