HIDALGO, Texas (Border Report) — Over $2.1 million in illegal drugs were seized in two large incidents at South Texas ports recently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says.

Over $618,000 of cocaine was seized Wednesday at the McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge from a car coming from Mexico, CBP says.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I sure hope they had an arrest warrant before they pulled the car over or a federal judge will rule the "due process rights" of the perps were violated and set them free with their drugs. :judge:
