Illegal Alien Smuggling Gone Bad

The only thing I am going to say about this is....how on earth do you get 200 people in a secret compartment in a trailer?!?!?

About 200 Central American immigrants were hidden inside the compartment when it collapsed under the weight of the fruit Sunday in near Juchitan in Oaxaca state after a 10-hour trip that started at the Guatemalan border, Salvadoran Consul Nelson Cuellar said.

200 people?!?

Are you kidding me?!?

It's getting like that on Airlines now these days too.
With the high price of fuel...they will not fly until they have every seat filled.

For now...at least the tickets are no where near as bad as 5-7k...but that is only because Haliburton has not purchased NW Airlines yet.

This is especially devastating to our upcoming Strawberry harvest.
Look for fruit prices to soar. We may have to hire Legals at minimum wage or less depending on which State....or loopholes they can use.

Huh? Haliburton is also in flying, and stuff? :shock:

I meant that as a joke...if they were to buy into Airlines...then tickets would be like $5,000 to fly from Dallas lets say to Ft. Worth....round trip would be possibly $7,000 if you flew on a Tuesday.

Dude, I got a headache.

Well, to stay on track, I think it's sad that you can haul so many people on such tight spaces.

I think they were all about 5'4" and skinny. If they were your average U.S. natural born citizen...you might have packed only a dozen in there and the floor would have buckled....and destroyed the poor bananas instead. :? :P

[Jackrabbit379]

Yeah, no lie.

I have seen a family of 10 ride peacefully in a mini van, so it might not be nothing for them in a fruity truck.

Only 10 in a mini-van?? I've seen 8 climb out of a little old Hyundai car. 2 in the front, 4 in the back and 2 in the trunk. If they were good they could have gotten 10 in that car.

That fruit must have been heavy, 200 people at an average of 130lbs is 26,000lbs. Then figure in what the weight of the secret compartment was, then the fruit........it's a wonder they made it 10 hours.

If you want a sad thought, think about how many Africans they used to pack onto those slave ships.

Yeah, but how do you physically get 200 people into a false bottom floor of a tractor trailer?!? Even stacking them like cordwood doesn't seem like it is physically possible. Again, we're talking about a false bottom and there just ain't that much you can do with a trailer and still expect the secret compartment to remain secret.
