Don't Be "Surprised" by Kinder Eggs: Seizures Double - CBP.gov

Quote:
Also known as Kinder Eggs, these chocolate treats may be cute and seasonal but they are too dangerous to children to be imported legally into the U.S. The problem is the small plastic toy inside the Kinder Egg. While sold in many countries, this product is banned from the U.S. because young children can choke on it.
Yea, these eggs are dangerous and should be confiscated.

...Yet it's perfectly okay for a kid to play with a gun.

In addition to spending time and money on seizing this harmless candy, we are NOT spending time on enforcing border laws on our southern border.

No I am not. For every package of these eggs we seize, we could be sending a mexican back home.

How much time and money do you think it takes to seize candy?

They're not even dangerous. You can't choke on the toy while eating the chocolate egg. The toy is in a hard plastic shell.

Canada is the nicest most pleasant prison camp on the planet. If you have some money you can wander the grounds...if not you stay in your cell. Just like in America...the only freedom you get is the freedom you buy.

I am a good person to ask this question to.

I was born in the United States. I left as a toddler and was raised in Canada until I was 38. I then have lived back in the united states ever since.

Why did I go back?

The simple answer to this whole thread.

Once you start making enough money, you dont need 'free' health care' You dont need a 'nanny state' nor do you have super high taxes and the government breathing down your neck.

If you are poor , or uneducated, or disabled, stay in canada.

Otherwise, get educated and come to the United States. The freedoms we have here are well worth it if you can make money.
