SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Authorities have arrested two men who were allegedly smuggling 30 illegal immigrants into the United States in a hidden compartment inside a trailer. U.S. Border Patrol said Friday that agents inspected a semi-truck at a checkpoint in San Diego County on Thursday and found the driver didn't have a commercial license and the passenger didn't have legal papers. Agents say they found 30 illegal immigrants, including one child, inside a compartment hidden by furniture in the back of the trailer. Border Patrol agent Mark Endicott declined to release the names of the suspected smugglers. He says the driver is a Mexican citizen who had a border-crossing card to legally enter the United States.

Y'all snark started it first, I wasn't going to say a thing. It's not my fault or anybody elses for that matter that he prefers men. It's obvious he has a crush on MH. He tomato holes things and uses cucumbers at the Mexican fruit stand ( I read MH's story). He's tactical, a combat leader and holsters a rubber penis. If he/she goes to combat in silk panties with cucumber spelled out in glitter across both cheeks. That's his/her business. It's none of our business that Captain speedo puts a penis in his mouth or uses a cucumber at the fruit stand.

In Reply to snark: He did, he spoke just like one. Maybe you can take him, since obviously you're the most tactical mf on here and show him the ways of war (also, you may get lucky and won't have to "tomato-hole" it anymore). I wouldn't dare take you two for granted in any combat situation, hell no. I'd simply use you as bait, but you would have to wash all that ass off of you first. MH has a valid point.

They are trying to make it necessary to completely unload every truck that crosses the border -- hidden compartment among furniture. Well, unload every truck. The cost will reduce Mexico's advantage in exporting their products to us and will create jobs for Americans.

The Border Patrol should have the authority to brand the driver and his 'Illegal' pigs before turning the truck back to Mexihole.

In Reply to Heartwood: Sure it feeds them, cats , dogs, and bug soup. Yeah, Vietnam looks like it's prosperous. Every level headed person anywhere can tell. I can just imagine how wonderful of a healthcare system people like that have. Anyway, no, the commies over here cost us that war (hippies, dope heads, dizzy people). And, Iraq along with everything after that isn't really a war. WW2 was a war. I've had bigger fights with my wife compared to Iraq. Notice, the commies always have a reason for us not to kill the enemy. And, some people just leave pieces of their hearts laying around all over the world, whatever that means..Anyway, alright, adult leadership caused it, you win. Now, on to the next Mexican>>

Take it from someone that was there to watch in Vietnam, and left a piece of his heart there, the thing missing that made us fail in Vietnam was adult leadership, just like the last eight years in Afghanistan, and seven years in Iraq; just like the last twenty-three years in dealing with Mexico. Vietnam is today a prosperous country that feeds its own people, and has exellent healthcare, and it didn't get there with our help, or by us letting forty million of its poor invade America. Mexico is going to have to throw out the bums that are holding it back and the Mexicans take charge of their destiny, before they will prosper. Right now they just want a pickup truck and bluejeans. They need to want a country. As things deteriorate here for the middle class imagine how it is getting down in Mexico. If we continue on the path we have set we will have a hostile ism, of some sort, just across our southern border, and half their pissed off countrymen living, LEGALLY, here.

That's just one truck that didn't get through. Not that I really care, but we tried to stop the flow of communism in Vietnam. Should have declared war and melted it, but oh well. We lost that war (which was never declared) here at home, not there. Hippies, dope heads, sh*t of that nature (you have to use diseased dope heads to make any sense out of communism). Iraq and Afghanistan we need in order to flank Iran, because the main enemy Russia supplies weapons to it. So, it's either stop Iran conventionally someday or nuke them when we have no other choice (nuclear holocaust). I guess when the wall went down, everybody thought yayyyy communism is over. Not hardly, it just pissed them off worse. Kill Russia, those mongloid bastards are responsible. The Russians are laughing like hell at Sambo, and us. They understand how dumb he is and how easy it is to take advantage of him. Not to mention he's a communist too. Also, those hippies that should have been wiped out during woodstock by the militias or a simple accident by the Air Force..are messing this country up . And, ignorant , stupid, worthless primitive people and worse than dumb kids voted the freaks in office.

I agree that VietNam was one huge lie and the new war in Afganistan mirrors the build up that happened under LBJ its downright scary,every thing from a General needing a few thousand more troops for victory to the training of a local force to Medical intervention teams for the villigars and a president whose brother is involved in running drugs for the cia.Lets see if my
agent orange memory hasent failed Me that would be "the big push,Ruff puff forces and medcap program and the golden triangle" Lied then Lie now.Why not cook the books on illegals???HELL YA

I'm sorry but having spent years getting over the lies of Vietnam and now the woppers of Iraq, I just have to ask, if "Authorities" refuse us any information: names, pleas, sentences, interviews, testimony, in this or any other immigration case, why would I believe that thirty, or thirty-two people were detained. Wouldn't it be just as believable that this story was concocted to make me think that the BP is not sitting in the office making paper chains? This secrecy needs to stop. I'm not buying any of this. I look out my door and I see illigal aliens everywhere and nobody of authority seams to care. How does that jive with the numbers the INS and White House offer? Just like in the card game where a good bluff is as good as a good hand, I call bullsh*t. I want independant verification. I think that catch and release is still going on, and they have admitted that virtually no illegal is being charged with illegal entry, unless Joe Arpiao does it. Sorry, I call Bullsh*t.
