Mexican immigration official arrested in Ariz. with 77 kilos of pot
American taxpayers forked over $1.6 billion to Mexico this year for their border enforcement and anti-drug smuggling programs while our own southern fence is underfunded and incomplete. (Refresher here.)
How’s all that spending working out and who’s been pocketing the money?
A clue:
A U.S. official says American law enforcement arrested a top Mexican immigration official for carrying about 77 kilograms of marijuana.
The U.S. official identified the Mexican official as Francisco Celaya-Carrillo. The official said he was stopped in Lukeville, Ariz. Sunday afternoon, as he was coming into the country in a pickup truck to do some shopping and said that a Customs and Border Protection officer inspected the vehicle and found marijuana in the gas tank and in the spare tire.
But hey, no biggie, right? He didn’t cross the border. The border crossed him!

The $1.6B for border enforcement would have been much better spent on a wall.
Hey, McCain , stick THAT where the sun doesn’t shine. Yes, still voting for him, but he’s such a tool still on the border.
He was only doing the job that american smugglers wouldn’t!
Border Patrol better watch out. They imprison agents for doing their jobs!
Just peddling the dope that Americans are too stoned to peddle themselves, I guess.
My collie says:
The Republican Party is dead. Thanks George. Come January please move to Mexico.
Did this guy have a six year old kidnap victim in his truck? If not, why haven’t the Customs officers been charged with felonius interrupting of a shopping expedition?
Can I move to China to experience Capitalism and freedom?
About 170 lbs. of dope, and this guy managed to not get shot in the ass? Bummer.
Just smugglin’ the drugs across the border that Americans won’t, huh?
I believe he was here to drive voters to the polls for Acorn – early and often.
I would say that agents are very hesitant to shoot any smuggler these days, given Ramos and Compean being imprisoned. *sigh*
And apparently well-medicated… Pop Tarts all around!!
Let’s vet the guy like “Joe the Plumber.” Guess how many relatives live here illegally and receive benefits. Lets do a property search to see he owns any property here. Even better, lets give him immunity and a free pass to go back and forth as a reward for testifying against his connections.
Ahhh! I get it, AG. The pot was his enticement – so much for cigarettes, whiskey of a couple of dollars of days gone by – to get some folks to ride to the polls to vote.
Only 77 kilos? Must have been a dry run.
The gas tank and the spare tire are only so big on pickup truck, JA.
Uh oh, due to this agent’s vigilence and who he caught, I bet someone just got reassigned to a remote border crossing in Vermont.
If Francisco Celaya-Carrillo doesn’t get pardoned by the outgoing administration, he will probably be pardoned by whichever one goes into office in January 2009, regardless of the “D” or “R” at the end of their name.
sounds like 25 years of hard labor is in order.
Hey, even stupid voters understand the party of Gimme Free Stuff. No more chickens in every pot, it’s pot for every chick.
For the Customs guys – this is the Bush Doctrine.
What an idiot. Everyone knows the lucrative way to make money on pot in this country is to grow it in our National Parks and forests. The Mexican mafia has no need to smuggle it across the border any more. Makes you wonder why DEA is busting small medical marijuana clubs when millions of plants are being grown by illegal aliens…

Why is this news? This has been going on for thirty years.
So, if this guy can just drive that much pot across the border then I guess the chances of stopping a terrorist with another kind of package are not so good, huh?
Yeah, but it was an A M E R I C A N pickup!
a dual layer fence with armed troops….get the Israel government to build it for us…

Want some more outrage? How about 2 NYC cops shot by an illegal alien, previously deported? Did you ever see this Oct. 21, 2008, story on any MSM? Hear any candidate mention it?? Didn’t think so.

Thats pot summgling you can believe in!!!
According to Juan Hernandez it’s our fault.
It was for personal consumption–purely medicinal reasons!
Now gimme a light *flames*
$1.6 billion refund, por favor.
…payable in your territory or tequila.
I think he was trying to get out of the immigration biz. Too much pressure.
If he didn’t know they found it, follow him see where it was going…..
an Obama rally prolly…. lmao
“hand out the dope, we get the vote.”
“Obama 08′ the hopey dopey tour”
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!
McCain/Palin 08′
Again, POTUS in the middle of another scandle. What will his lies be this time?
- “Pot Americans can’t traffic”?
- “Mexican Family values”?
- “Mexicans are here just for the jobs”?
Then again, Americans are about to elect :
- Juan McCain.
- Mobarak “driver’s licenses for illegals” / “God D**n America” Obama.
Would be hilarious, if it wasn’t so tragically dangerous.
I know of 2 Borders Guards that would have shot his a$$, but their in prison for doing their job.
He just wanted to redistribute the
wealthpot from the haves to the have-nots.Beautiful Downtown Lukeville will never be the same. Francisco Celaya-Carrillo has got to be one dumb smuggler. He is not unknown in these parts.
Probably an American’s pick-up too. They don’t care to use their own vehicles for such dangerous work, not when the norteamericanos have so many…
Los yanquis son ricos.
–
Free Ramos and Compean
Free up cells for Johnny Sutton and Judge Cardone.
Wish he’d get some of that over to SW Florida. Dry spell is killing me.
I bet the State Department will hold hands with Syria about thier border being thiers, but when it comes to a Mexican invasion through the southern US, well that is another matter.
Get off you arse Condi!
God’s Children!
In the gas tank? He was working on energy independence.
With friends like these, who need enemies:

“One worker said he spied from within the US embassy on the Drug Enforcement Administration, one Mexican official told the Associated Press news agency.”
Is Mexico any enemy of the United States or just a really messed up third world country?
I’m surprised that he did not claim that it was for medicinal use….
Throw the book at him. He can start making sand out of boulders with a sledge hammer. We can then use the sand to help build our own fence.
By the way, I’m ready to give up my vacation to help build the fence our government refuses to build.
It’s like a bad movie script…”Diplomatic Immunity?”
The open borders and importation of millions of 3rd world peasants which results in the changing demography of the US, per the Census Bureau, will lead this country into 3rd world status and a dysfunctional socialist state under perpetual martial law. It is pretty obvious to me that the more “diverse” or “multicutural” a society, the worse the social upheaval when things go bad. This is not racism, it is common sense, IMHO of course. Peace in a society with extreme diversity/multicultualism only exists when bellies are full and times are good.
Absolutely eye opening post, could not believe this could happen in my beloved STATE… Went to my local RAG, for more detail on this story… HMMMMM, I looked high, I looked low, not even a mention in THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC… AHHH, heavy day reporting on the new LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM, set to start service on the 27th of December…
