With our proximity to the Mexican border seems' like were the 1st stop for most of the Coyotes(smugglers) to drop off their illegal loads. Starting this week we have USofA assisrance with the addition of 50 specialists instopping these nasty fellers. The cost to the poor laborers ranges from 2000 per head up to 10-grand so these bad guys can make upwards of 100-Gs' a load. To avoid the Border checkpoints going into San Diego the idiots are driving on the wrong side with their lights out late nites. Needless to say there have been several "Headers" with the resultant carnage. Hopefully Bush and Fox reach an agreement on the temporary worker issue. Natch, the Red-Necks here are screaming about taking away jobs, but haven't seen too many lined up for the ones the illegals perform; day-laborers, yaed work, cleaning latrines, etc. The new task force is centering on the smugglers. as the brazen suckers, as you probably read, just had a shoot-out that stretched over 35 miles of Interstate 10. 4 dead, 8 wounded, and not sure how many illegals were finally rounded up.WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/frown.gif[/img]
