American fined $5,000 for border jump with bike

U.S. Border Patrol agents slapped a $5,000 fine on an American citizen this week for slipping into the United States from Canada on a mountain bike, the agency announced Wednesday.

The 40-year-old American and his 44-year-old Canadian companion were nabbed Sunday near Houlton, Maine, after allegedly biking across the border south of Notre Dame, Canada, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Good to see all that money being spent on border security isn't being wasted.

Why not collect $5,000 from all those illegal aliens? That would raise a lot of money.
