LOL, I haven't seen the movie and don't depend on Hollywood for my
travel information.

You again demonstrate that you do not know what you're talking about.
For example, there's a long list of stuff I can enter the US with.
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/clearing_goods/agri_prod_inus.xml#GeneralListofApprovedProducts
"Many products grown in Canada or Mexico are allowed to enter the United
States. This includes most vegetables and many fruits; however, seed
potatoes from Canada currently require a permit. Additionally, stone fruit,
apples, mangoes, oranges, guavas, sopote, cherimoya and sweet limes from
Mexico require a permit." For example, I can and have returned to the US
with avacados, as long as the pit is removed. Going the other direction I've
driven into Mexico numerous times with my motorhome stuffed with food,
without problems. Even if you accidentally stumbled on something factual,
your "information" is useless for the OP.
