We cross the border often and are seldom bothered by food issues. There seems to be a craze against citrus, not sure why since neither the northern border states or the provinces are significant citrus growers, but the rules is the rules! .
Simple answer is: If a citrus fruit (lemon, lime, orange, grape fruit, etc.) had a “citrus canker” disease and that fruit made it to Florida or any other citrus producing state, than the entire two billion dollar a year citrus industry could be lost until the disease is eradicated.
The border folks are the first line of protection from ALL threats and they are only trying to do a very difficult job of protecting this great nation.
