Yesterday a friend told me about one of his workers whose family had a dead body placed on their front lawn last week down on the mainland. This week they all came across the border in trunks of cars. All these billions of $$$'s sure is securing the border!!!

Yeah...it's a huge waste.
Aside from that, every time the US makes an effort to get serious about securing the border, Mexico calls it an insult, and as we all know, our President sure doesn't want to be insulting to anyone but us.

No, just pay attention when Border Patrol agents are talking amongst themselves. Better yet, just come right out and ask:

"Ever been to Mexico? No? Why not?"

Wanna peeem off? Tell them that the US is getting more like Mexico and Mexico is getting more like the US every year.

I "found" a dead body on my patio in Puebla in the seventies. It was surrounded by cops when I heard an early AM noise and looked out the window. Apparently a toxicado (imbiber of pure cane alcohol) went to sleep there and did not wake up. The nosy neighbors saw the body and called the cops. The cops demanded 200 pesos as a "processing fee" from me. Arturo, my next door neighbor told them to go climb a Nopal.

People in a trunk getting by the nose of a canine? The absolute sureness of the driver and occupants being arrested and the car impounded forever? Fascinating.

Too many wearing uniforms feel powerless; yet because they own savage tendencies(and live in a culture that celebrates the use of force) the abuse of power becomes second-nature to them.

Fascinating, to say the least. What with enhanced vigilance at the gate, I can't imagine using that method to travel any more. Trunks are opened as standard procedure these days.

Hiding drugs or people in the back of a truck just isn't cutting it anymore. As security has tightened on the border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have seen an uptick in creative, even bizarre ways to smuggle drugs and people into the country.

“Anywhere there’s a natural void in a vehicle, or a secret compartment can be hidden, smugglers will try and take advantage of that to hide contraband and people,” said Chris Maston, Director of CBP Field Operations in San Diego. “We’ve seen people hidden in gas tank compartments -- dangerous, specially-built compartments affixed to the under carriage of a vehicle.”

A man attempting to smuggle himself into the U.S. was found recently by a K-9 team at a checkpoint in Jamul, CA. He was wedged between a truck’s customized gas tank and undercarriage. The driver and the undocumented immigrant were both arrested.

After the Mexican citizen gets out of jail they lose all border crossing rights forever. Coyotes don't have this problem as they are illegal from the git go. Some US Customs guy quipped to me years ago, "Get caught smuggling and say goodbye to your passport, forever"

If a person gets caught smuggling drugs, their "legacy" proceeds them to prison. Awaiting them are imprisoned narcos who are outraged at the thought someone violated their "plaza"

Wow, some of the comments here just make you shake your head. So, you get stopped in a border area and have a conversation of what you are doing since you pulled off the road where drugs and illegal entry occurs day or night.

Dangerous job for those trying to do their jobs and in turn when I get stopped in Mexico as I am sure many of you have I accept the job they are doing. I don't get mad or call them names or hate on them. Yes, maybe their demeanor or ways of handling the stop was not my top ten things that day but it is what it is.

I have no criminal background, I have no illegal drugs on me or in my vehicle and I obey their laws, as i think they should obey ours. I show agents from both Countries respect no matter what and don't let the little things ruin my day. Life is way too short to let the little things enrage you. Enjoy life and leave the casting stones to those that are perfect in their actions to others in their personal and working lives. We all have way too much on our "bucket lists" to finish before we are finished to let the little stuff twist us into knots.

C'mon Bajafun777

Without their psychosis and narcisissim what would they have to contribute?

I think we should all be more concerned about who we invite around our camp fire...
but this place is more like a bonfire sometimes and you can't control who dances around that.
