"Theft": Massie responds to CBP seizing $70k in cash in Texas
X ^ | Nov 24 | Rep. Massie

@RepThomasMassie

If the person isn’t guilty, this is theft.

@CBP

It's not a crime to carry over $10K, we just want to know about it. CBP officers in Texas seized over $70K of unreported U.S. currency. A driver was referred for secondary inspection, during which officers and a K9 unit found the money concealed in the vehicle.

Massie is spouting off about events without knowing the facts or the context. Just rhetorical jibber jabber to stay in the news.

I always have $70,000 hidden in the car πŸš—
when I go for a drive. Helps when I stop
at McDonald’s πŸ”πŸ”.

Still, I order the Extra Value Meals.

Well, Tommie, if you don’t like the law, change it. You are in a position to do such a thing.

His weasel language is cute. β€œIf the person isn’t guilty,”

Aren’t you supposed to declare cash above a certain amount when entering the country?

There have been too many abuses of the $10K maximum cash on hand statute. Someone who is innocent has to hire attorneys and lose time in court to fight the seizures. Has this law stopped any drug trafficking? Based on the levels of drug abuse, the answer is no despite decades of this law in place. At best, this law catches the foot soldiers; the kingpins remain untouched. They are often paying off politicians, e.g., in Arizona, which has been controlled by organized crime for decades, first by the Mafia and now by the Mexican cartels.

If you really want to stem the flow of drugs, you must go after the top echelon. As the U.S. Attorney, Giuliani did that in New York in the 1980s and greatly weakened the Five Families. However, too many politicians of both parties are compromised by money and other favors.

“RepThomasMassie

Guilty of what? It’s against the law to cross the border with over $10,000 without reporting it to CBP.
