Thank you very much and God bless you.
$815 grand in cash. Could happen to anybody. You have to remember to check the ash trays before crossing the border.
No wonder the president of Mexico is calling the illegals honest, hardworking folks. They are her cash cows.
The money was earned in the United States.
“”The money was earned in the United States.””....selling drugs.
That would make for a helluva weekend in Cancun.
I always take along a few hundred thou in cash when I head to Nogales for a weekend of R & R, doesn’t everyone?
Soooo... it is always a crime to do it? Where’s the probable cause?

“It is not a crime to carry more than $10,000 in cash, but it’s a federal offense not to declare such currency or monetary instruments, to hide them or evade filling out the paperwork for it, CBP said. Failure to declare may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest.”
That was in the posted excerpt. Now you know as much about it as I do.
How much money can I bring into Mexico?
Mexico allows visitors to bring amounts under 10,000 USD (or the equivalent in other currencies) without needing to declare it. You must notify customs officials upon arrival if carrying $10,000 or more. Failure to do this may result in fines or confiscation of funds above the limit. Keeping a record of the source of your funds and the reason for bringing them into the country can help avoid complications.
Complying with Mexico’s customs regulations is essential for a smooth arrival and to prevent legal issues that could spoil your trip.
Nice. Free money. Like picking up a dollar on the sidewalk.
Put it all in a Wells Fargo account and use Mehico ATMs for withdrawals. I could be a criminal.
This has nothing to do with Mexico fool
This has nothing to do with Mexico
“”U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel inspecting cars leaving the United States over the Anzalduas International Bridge in Hidalgo County, Texas, report seizing $815,475 in bulk, unreported cash “hidden within the vehicle” earlier this week. “”””
BILLIONS are sent via Western Union and MoneyGram every year. Trump should immediately require a SSN to do so, without a tax. If you have an ITIN, it should be taxed 50%.
How much are we willing to give up in the name of fighting drugs? The intent is good and there is a need to fight it, but what is done “for the greater good” with asset forfeiture can go too far.
Why is it illegal. And.....Still nothing to do with Mexican laws like you claimed
It is clear you have never gone through customs. But congratulations on sticking up for criminals.
