MEXICANS' TRUCKS * USA - Produce flood Nogales entry

Nogales,AZ,USA -The Arizona Daily Star, by Gabriela Rico -4 Feb. 2008: -- With the busy agriculture season upon them, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers are hustling at the Mariposa Commercial Port of Entry as produce trucks, packed with watermelons, cucumbers and other produce wait for clearance... More than 1,200 commercial trucks are being processed each day. From January through April, the port is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays to help ease congestion... The $2 billion produce industry in Southern Arizona provides 70 percent of the winter produce coming into the United States from Mexico. Most of it passes through the Mariposa port, in the western outskirts of Nogales... (Over the noise of idling semis, Sam Shuff, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer, lets a Mexican trucker know he's going to check his payload during a pre-inspection in Nogales at the Mariposa Commercial Port of Entry. Now is the agricultural busy season, and more than 1,200 commercial trucks are being processed each day)
