"Because U.S. President Barack Obama hasn't declared Moore, Okla., tornado a disaster area, the 52-foot trailer of goods is considered a commercial shipment rather than humanitarian aid."
It's an easy fix.

I've never once heard of a border official making a good decision, actually protecting people from any real harm, ever stopping a terrorist, or doing anything of productive importance.
It seems that they are the dumping ground of people too stupid and disconnected from reality to work in school administration.
