    To be fair, since most cross border freight is not physically examined, CBP also uses paperwork examination to look for deviations from a company's normal course of business. The theory is, if today's commercial invoice (this data is transmitted in advance) looks oddly different from yesterday's commercial invoice, maybe that's not Company A's goods in that seacan. So what's in the seacan?

    But mainly it's about collecting duties and taxes. : )

    I don't have proof. That's why I'm using words like "perhaps" and you're using word like "can't" and "know".

    As for the post on the wall by the engineer, I haven't given that the time it deserves (just got out of interview) and will do so tomorrow morning.

    It's a euphemism. There's only one queen in this conversation, and it's not me. I will vote for Trump if it's between he and Hillary, yes.

    I don't need proof of DHS staffing levels and role assignments to state it is true that officers working on paperwork authenticity and accuracy does not mean there can't be other officers prohibiting entry.

    Ok, then. So neither of us knows whether or not the focus would be more on immigration if that was the directive, and less on paperwork. But we can say for sure that it is possible to focus on paperwork and immigration together.

    Whew, glad that's settled.

    Especially possible when you hire so many new border guards (thank you, President Obama) that you can even delegate some to full time paperwork examination.

    You'd almost think we have no immigration problems with such stellar performance by Obama!
