13,000 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition..That is about one month of weekend plinking for many normal US citizens or about one hour of squirrel hunting.
To: SwinneySwitch
The selective application of the laws of the United States is pure hypocrisy...uh, how about prosecuting those who ILLEGALY ENTER into the United States?....no they are expempt from obeying THOSE LAWS.
Mexicans are exempt from laws that interfere with getting their votes and campaign contributions...

. . . after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers said they found 19 boxes of .22-caliber ammunition and about 2,500 rounds of .38 Super ammunition concealed in soft drink boxes in the vehicle she was driving. I know this is more of a "Friday"-type comment, but I find this attractive, in a way.

This just doesn't set well with me. She LEGALLY purchased the ammo. It legally was in her posession. Taking her own leagl personal property out of the country should not be a crime. And with whom did she conspire? One person cannot conspire.........

Fine her $250,000? So what? Have you ever attempted to collect on a judgement on an immigrant or illegal alien? Good luck.

It's interesting timing - with some Mexicans tired of the current government/system, perhaps she was working/carrying for somebody who wants to shake things up. Their whole political system is corrupt, and maybe people are getting tired of it.
Or, maybe she is going to become the new police chief of Juarez and wanted to protect herself, they seem to have a lifespan measured in weeks, if not days or hours...
To: Red Badger
Why is this illegal?............ Well, first whomever sold the ammunition committed a felony by selling to an "un-documented" person. No FOID Card. Second, ammunition bought without a FOID is a crime. Third, transporting across international boundries without declaration, (see smuggling) is always a crime...especially when gunpowder is involved.
Finally, does anyone not believe this was intended to re-supply drug cartel muscle? Please.
I'm sure others can come up with about four or five more crimes committed here.
Good on our border security....Way to go guys!

Ok, I can understand if she was caught IMPORTING... I can understand if she was trying to export ORDANANCE, or maybe even arms.... but ammunition?
Why is this a crime and why a felony?
To: SwinneySwitch
Well, if the rounds were .223 or 5.56, then I would say.. yeah we may have a case.. But .22 and .38? Please....

13,000 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition..

19 @ 500 gives 9500 + 2500 =12000 Did she admit to another 1000 that they didn't find?

Why is this illegal?............It is illegal to bring guns or ammunition into Mexico. It violates Mexican laws. More than one American has been put in Mexican jails just for having one spent cartridge in their car.

Why is this illegal?
Mission creep. "Defense articles" under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) were data. The "spy" from China was prosecuted for conspiracy to export defense articles...a CD with nuclear engineering data.
Mission creep has expanded "defense articles" to cover just about anything.
