SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Otay Mesa Cargo Facility discovered millions of dollars worth of methamphetamine hidden in a shipment of peppers and husk tomatoes.

CBP says on Tuesday night, officers encountered a 27-year-old man driving a commercial tractor-trailer at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry.

According to CBP, the man had a valid border crossing card and claimed to be hauling a shipment of peppers and husk tomatoes, also known as tomatillos.

Upon further examination in the secondary inspection area, a CBP K-9 unit alerted officers who went through the trailer.

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
