      I don’t get it? Is this some sort of joke?
      The eggs are illegal because they are transported illegally across the border.

      You’ve never been allowed to bring raw eggs of any kind across the border. I’m sure you can declare to do so and make arrangements for it, but I can’t show up at the border and bring eggs over, that’s always been the case.

      I suppose you are right, in that it’s not the egg that’s illegal, but the action of bringing it over the border.

    Why does the US have high egg prices, but Canada and Mexico do not?

      Because there is a big bird flu in USA and it is being mismanaged by a government of idiots who rather insult every one.

        No, that is not the issue anymore and has not been for a while. Last time, to stop this, the government had to threaten with anti cartel actions - the prices were suddenly down again.

      I imagine the US standard of shoving antibiotics into the chickens instead of vaccinating them probably doesn’t help

    I’m not surprised. Border enforcement, like all law enforcement entities, do more to hassle harmless actions than stopping harmful ones. They’re the wrong group to handle the fentanyl epidemic anyway. That should be the job of proper drug rehabilitation programs.
