Why not set up an inspection on the corner of Greenleaf and Whittier Blvd.. Why we waste so much money on the borders is just ridiculous... Set up these check points all around Whittier.. Pico Rivera included... Screw it, why not at every city.. I'm for it... Butt nooooooooo... Judges, Lawyers, Police, won't have it... You'll take away there jobs and then they will be just like us... Thats not fair.... HORSE CRAP!!!!!

I am chinese and i can see why they do this, but they should pay off the inspection fee instead of risking get arrest, and visa revoked. but again wish we actually caught drug smuggle those are the one that really kill our teens, sea cumcumber are no different than those other food, except is bit rare and pricey but no way even close to drug.

Fishy? Basically, they have very little taste except for the sauce/dish in which they are cooked. I dislike them myself and don't understand their popularity. As far as I know they are not even considered medicinal or an aphrodisiac.

Why would you bring those things across the border? The sea floor in So Cal is littered with them. You can take all you can carry. As far as taste goes, there are a lot of better tasting game to fill your game bag with.

To make sea pickles, why else. I love a good sea pickle on my burger. Not the sour sea pickles or gurkins, or dills, but the sweet sea pickles.
The trouble with you people is that you probably only tried the sour sea pickles. In fact, a lot of you Sandy Agoans have sour dispositions.
