| Vehicle crossings more common at border |
| 2006-06-20 |
| With windows tinted charcoal black and a hint of new-car smell lingering inside, the Chevy Suburban with California plates nearly made it through a border inspection booth. Then a customs officer spotted something behind the back seats. Under the gray carpeting lay 14 undocumented Mexicans — eight women, five men and a little boy — packed together so tightly that some had to remove their shoes to fit. They're part of a growing number of migrants sneaking across the border in cars and trucks. Some cram themselves into empty gas tanks, hollowed-out dashboards and even engines. Others hide inside cargo, from pinatas to washing machines. Rest at link. |

| #5 #4 The penalty for illegal immigration should be 12 months hard labor building a wall. Posted by: usmc6743 2006-06-20 12:20 Bloody HELL! I'd pay them a union wage, time and a half for overtime, provide meals, temper-tent, showers, cots and lenins, TV, ice cream, iced down Carona just BUILD THE DAMN THING! |

| #3 Sorta like having your kid program your V-chip tv and recorder to block adult programming because you can't figure out the instructions. |

| #2 Around here, when you need a fence built on the cheap, you hire Mexicans. That would work. |

| #1 In other words, the Minutemen and increased Border Patrol vigilance is having an effect. Btw, I saw a small article a few days ago that the first section of fence that the Minutemen started building has run out of volunteer workers, and they've had to hire professionals to finish the work. Much more expensive than planned, of course, but at least it will be done properly. |
