Isn't that some crap - just when you thought you had seen most anything.

There is a place down in Fredericksburg Va - some kind of auction house I guess - but we see caravans on 95 all the time going to and from there. But nothing like that. Most of them are say 10 crap car/trucks pulling one crap car/truck each. And also a ton of trucks - mostly SD's pulling those mini car haulers with 2 or 3 cars/trucks on them.

I guess that's one way of gettin' the job done. The Border Patrol sure ain't gettin' it done, but not like it's their fault, they're "under everything". Under-staffed, under-equiped and under-funded. Just by nature of their name and implied mission, I sometimes wonder if the National Guard would be better suited to repel this invasion.


Funny story (depending on one's perspective):

I few years back, I was doing the hearing testing at a plant in southern Wisconsin. The safety guy told me that a couple weeks prior, the INS showed at the plant one morning to check for "undocumented workers". Word of the INS spread around town like a wildfire. About two dozen hispanic folks working the 2nd & 3rd shifts failed to report for work that night and were never seen or heard from again.

The safety guy said they were limited as to what they could do to check a person's validity. If they put a Soc. Sec. Number on their job application, and no one else working there has the same number, then they have to assume it's valid. There were so many bogus SS cards floating around, they couldn't tell the real from the fake.

Who's in control of the borders? I would think Bush, but then im going to have the Bush activist after me, so who is in control of the borders and can we go kick their asses? You know how hard it was for me to find a minimum wage job last summer? Finally I bit the nail and started working for my old man (tile contractor) and what a pain in the ass-i mean knees it was

I see the caravans of 5 to 8 junkers towing junkers heading south from up here in Minnesota on a regular basis.

 

[Fire1]

Saw plenty of those caravans on our commute between DFW area and Austin. A few of the cars and towed cars had no plates. Can't believe they had not been stopped.

Well THEY NEED TO DO THEIR JOB!

Sorry, but I'm sick of it, Hell I can't even get a summer job if i went to go try get one tomorrow, thank god they like classy americans working at car dealerships, the worst part of that is that it's an import dealership i.e. benz's, porches, all those.

The best part is is that I got a ride to go to prom in

Be sure you keep your tow dollys locked up where they can't be seen. They steal them things around Dallas all of the time. I know we have quite a few on here who pull fifth-wheels but don't know about Motorhomes.
