PHARR, Texas (Border Report) — Almost $9 million worth of methamphetamine was found hidden in a shipment of squash from Mexico at a South Texas port of entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
 
The drugs weighed over 1,000 pounds and were found Sunday in 3,770 packages that were concealed in a shipment of chayote, also known as vegetable pear, at the Pharr International Bridge, CBP said Wednesday.

The drugs were in a tractor-trailer coming from Reynosa, Mexico, that was referred to secondary inspection. A canine team and nonintrusive inspection equipment led to the discovery of the illegal drugs, 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
