Six legged invaders brought in by two legged invaders.

How do you bring rice into the country when you can’t even bring it into California?

[eyeamok]

Why aren’t they covered under DC’s Sanctuary Policy??

Beginning in 2002 and forward, the emerald Ash Borer has destroyed every single ash tree here in S. E. Michigan. I remember back in 2006 when I used to commute to Troy for work, the boulevards were lined with young Ash trees that were all dead. The neighborhoods with old, mature ash trees, the owners had to cut them down..........it was disastrous.

TSA

Me too - my first thought was did it come from the House or the Senate?

"The US Customs and Border Patrol says it has intercepted one of the world’s most destructive pests of stored grains, cereals and seeds at two Washington-area airports this year."

You mean...gulp...they're REAL?!

Too bad the dang things don’t eat opium poppies.

And WHY were the Arabs bringing “rice” FROM Saudi Arabia?

Gee. I wonder.

[Architect of Avalon]

Ban imports of food from Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.

[Architect of Avalon]

A ban wouldn’t have to be permanent, just 10,000 years or so.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

Most countries will not let you bring food into their country unless it is processed.

This is partly why.

[Lean-Right]

Do they have private meetings on the
tarmac?

TSA isn't mentioned in the article. You have a non-sequitur at best, possibly terrible reading comprehension, or if you've ever been to an airport, a truly remarkable, superhuman ability to misunderstand the most obvious things.

[SkyDancer]

It mentioned destructive insects and who else but the TSA - in any airport.

(When my sarcasm is so advanced people actually think I'm stupid.)

[End Times Sentinel]

Then I withdraw my statement.

Mouth-breathing monkeys in uniform.

[SkyDancer]

Not a problem. :)

I’m sorry to hear that. You guys in the south should do more to make yourselves sound more rightwing and redneck so they wont move there. Look at NV and CO. OR was GOP back in the 90’s..
