1,638 Pounds of Pot, 37.5 Pounds of Cocaine Seized in 21 Busts Last Week, Just at El Paso
(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers working at the El Paso port of entry seized 88.6 pounds of marijuana last Thursday -- in just one car.
That drug bust was one of 21 seizures made during the seven-day period ending at midnight on Nov. 16. In that single week in the El Paso area, officers seized a total of 1,638 pounds of marijuana in 16 drug busts -- and 37.5 pounds of cocaine in another five drug busts.
The 88.6-pound marijuana seizure happened last Thursday night when a 2000 Nissan Sentra, driven by a 33-year-old Mexican citizen, entered the Ysleta international crossing from Mexico.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted CBP officers to the presence of marijuana, and officers said they found 80 marijuana-filled bundles in the trunk and engine compartment.
The Mexican driver was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents to face charges stemming from the failed smuggling attempt.
“The drug smuggling threat remains consistent, and dedicated CBP officers are focused on stopping this illicit flow while facilitating legitimate trade and travel,” said Beverly Good, CBP El Paso port director.
CBP says on a typical day, it seizes 7,910 pounds of drugs at all U.S. ports of entry, based on Fiscal Year 2016 data.
In addition to drug smuggling, CBP officers also identified numerous violations in other areas, including agriculture enforcement.
CBP agriculture specialists recorded 17 violations last week in the El Paso area, resulting in penalties of $3,475 being assessed. Prohibited agricultural items seized during the seven-day period included pork, pork chorizo, pork skins, bologna, raw chicken, guavas, potatoes, apples, kiwis, oranges, avocados, hawthorns, and pomegranates.
Thirteen wanted criminals were arrested at El Paso area ports last week, in addition to other enforcement actions.
AMERICA vs MEXICO: CLASHING
CULTURES
By Frosty Wooldridge
Mexicans cheat,
distribute drugs, lie, forge documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal way
of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s civilization stands diametrically opposed to
America’s culture.
The legal age of
sexual consent in Mexico is 12 years old. Sex with children at this age and
younger is socially acceptable in Mexico. For example: A Mexican Lopez-Mendez
pleaded guilty to sexual assault on a 10 year old girl in West Virginia.
JUDICIAL WATCH:
“The greatest criminal threat to the
daily lives of American citizens are the Mexican drug cartels.”
“Mexican drug cartels
are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal
of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing
that mission – from within, every day, in virtually every community across this
country.” JUDICIALWATCH

“Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a
rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the kidnapping,
murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of ovens at
the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas
exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up
and complicity of the Mexican government.”
“Heroin is not produced in the United
States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal
evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was
smuggled into the United States. Indeed,
this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his
appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017
when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect
American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com
THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS OPERATING IN AMERICA’S
OPEN BORDERS
Overall, in the 2017 Fiscal Year, officials revealed that a
record-breaking 455,000 pounds plus of drugs had already been seized. In 2016,
that number amounted to 443,000 pounds. The 2017 haul is worth an estimated
