good. knew drugs would get across from mexico cargo. UP can only so much. border protection is paid by us tax payers for this
With any luck, we can get the DHS/ICE/CBP loons to stop harassing passengers on trains crossing the US/Canadian border. They have been a thorn-in-the-side for international passengers for a century. Train times will speed up, and the
“Special Agents” can be sent to Arizona, where they are needed.
BTW: why are the DHS employees, and the “Fan Belt Inspectors” (FBI), all called “Special” Agents? Don’t they have any “regular” agents?
Alton Lanier wins!
PLEASE, PLEASE, righties take your blathering somewhere else to a political blog or SOMEWHERE. This a train news section and the constant use for bashing " socialists ’ and political figures you don’t like is getting REALLY OLD !!! Stay on topic please. And the boobs who have to comment the same thing 5 times in a row. Get a life !! It takes long enough for this page to load without having to wade through all the garbage multiple times for Pete’s sake.
And UP shouldn’t be held responsible for border control . I don’t think they want to ship drugs; they have very little control of what gets loaded outside the country.
I know why this happened. It’s Obamacare in action! And President Obama personally placed the drugs into that car!! Sounds like some of those drugs made it thru the border and into the brains of our right-wing brothers.
Seriously, it’s a common sense ruling.
And the moderators of this board need to start enforcing its own rules.
Another example of the government fedstapo looking to penalize someone, anyone, for some illegal thing which has happened. If the police, by any name, don’t fine or jail someone they think they aren’t doing their job. If you can’t catch the actual perpetrator, get the victim or the innocent bystander. Just as long as you get someone. The railroad is a large easy stationary target.
The user comments on News Wire has become a real freak show. This feature needs to be eliminated.
More like he and his cohorts are using their authority to “punish” people and businesses for not contributing more to his campaign, Chicago-style politics as usual!!
Obama and his extortion of the big companies in the country continues . You people have no idea whats going on believe me. Your clueless
Mr. Brown and Mr. Soka are both right, except the part about eliminating the feature. A delete button at Trains would be appropriate. Mr. Thomas from Oregon, you might do well to tone down your own “blathering”(?). I do agree that UP should not be held responsible, however.
I agree with Mr. Csoka from Montana… This comment section at times is FAR off topic. The last time I looked, ‘Trains’ was a RAILROAD magazine, and not a vehicle for political and/or offensive comments. Does ‘Trains’ not have a ‘Delete’ button?
I’ll see you guys out there, somewhere on the rails… I’ll be the guy grinnin’… because trains do that to folks, yes???
No mention in the article if any punishment happens to the federal employees who miss drugs in their inspections that UP personnel locate in their inspections.
Mexico is the problem.
Just so ya know…Federal AGENTS come generally in two flavors…folks that inspect or research stuff in the field are called Agents…and they usually just have an ID card. Agents can cite folks for violations.
Folks in the field that have the power to arrest someone are called Special Agents…and carry a gold badge…and often a gun. The FBI is the weird one as they don’t carry badges…just ID cards…but sure have the power to arrest.
Well, the comments section has devolved into political infighting again. THANKS OBUMMER!
@BRADNEY THOMAS - The repeated posts thing is a bug. I know this, because it happened to me once, and I most definitely didn’t hit the submit button multiple times or anything like that. Please don’t blame the poster - it’s embarrassing enough…
The Trains News Wire comments site has reached a point where the bone heads have ruined it with there politics, if I want the political scene I can sit in front of a TV, ENOUGH ALREADY!
Come on guys, give Mr. Lanier a break. I say that this is his first time commenting and he probablry did what many of us have done our first time commenting. He did not understand that with one click that his comment went through.
