Undocumented immigrants cause a stir in West University (Houston, TX)
KTRK-TV ABC news ^ | 6-1-05 | eyewitness news

ABC13 Eyewitness News (6/01/05 - WEST UNIVERSITY, TX) — Residents in West University witnessed a chaotic and unsettling scene as close to 100 undocumented immigrants were released in their neighborhood.

It happened just after 4:30pm Tuesday. Police say a U-Haul truck pulled up to the intersection of Cason and Wakeforest and unloaded the undocumented immigrants. They also say the human smugglers pulled over after the immigrants locked in the back of the truck rocked it back and forth to get their attention.

"They said they'd been in the Houston area for about 24 hours, but they were in the U-Haul truck for about two hours," said Officer Chris Castillo with the Houston Police Department. "It was very hot today. They haven't eaten, haven't drank."

Police say the immigrants were from Mexico, Guatemala and Ecuador. They each paid $4,000 to $6,000 to the smugglers to come into the country illegally.

The undocumented immigrants were transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will likely be deported. (Copyright © 2005, KTRK-TV)

Where did they come up with so much money?

Remittances ?? Paid to carry drugs in ??

20 billion sent to mexico yearly, will get alot of family members also smuggled in.

No taxes, living 27 to one basement, free medical, allows you to send much money home.

We've had numerous quotes from people ranging from Pres. Zedillo (Mexican territory extends beyond it's borders), other politicians from Calif. boasting of their reconquista plans, Hispanic majority in Houston and soon to be Dallas, that punk Villaragosa getting elected in LA, but because certain people have not yet been told by Rush or Laura or Tony Snow that we're experiencing an invasion of humanity never before seen on this continent they refuse to pull their heads out of rectal/cranial inversion to see what is patently obvious.

These people come here and do not (and will not learn) speak English, latch onto our idiotic welfare system sucking it dry and will NOT assimilate it can only mean they are here to COLONIZE or in this case re-colonize. Anyone who believes otherwise is just a useful idiot so coveted by the Mexican gov't. that will unquestioningly continue to lap up the propaganda from the MSM and other mediots.

Well offer them lunch, and some cool drinks. After that, take them to the movies.

I *saw* that thread too... I used to have a file (before the pc crash) that reflected the apprehensions of illegals by country, year over year. While the overwhelming percentage reflected Mexican illegals, the numbers of OTM's were growing by far greater orders of magnitude. I'll have to see if I can find that info or link again.. We need to see that on a month over month / week over week scale, adding in, point of apprehension. Then cross reference that to the BP sector responsible, and then follow up for answers as to what is being done to fortify the entry point.

Yep.

Rush was late to the party, but I think he's starting to understand the importance this issue within the Republican party, but it's importance to all Americans regardless of political stripe, particularly as it relates to policy. He also sees this as an "issue" by which Mssss. Clinton will use to triangulate her opponent, whoever that may be.. She of course, plans to do nothing FOR THEM, which is what is done TO ALL democrats that blindly believe what they are told without expecting results.

I emailed Tony Snow and received no response.

As for Laura Ingraham, I do not know her position, but understand she is battling breast cancer at the moment, so can not speak to her inattention one way or the other.

The La Raza group not only tells us in plain language what they are going to do, they do it and there is proof, but some rather put their fingers in their ears and close their eyes believing all will be okay, and this too will pass.. It's not going to pass, it's changing the country, domestic and foreign policy, education, healthcare, law enforcement, everything and everyone, but still they sit in the stew of denial. I don't understand how if you still believe in 'good faith', you are pressed to at LEAST ask questions based on fact.

But did they come here to murder 10 Americans each

I don't know, the link I put up only stated that PHX PD admitted that just some added border security had dropped their murder rate by 30%.......with PHX being our car theft capital, it would of been nice to see the rates on all crimes.

Capturing & bringing to trial/jailing these illegal murders gets very expensive for TAXPAYERS & this was only one city. (not counting the 'human costs').

Are they also spreading communism ?? Who knows....depends on your take of "La Raza", etc, etc.

Have you seen the "quote" from the new LaRaza president ??...."We are going to put our people first".

Good afternoon.

Why would Mexico, which has Pemex and unrestricted access to the US and Europe, need petrochemical products from the Mad Mullahs?

What do you personally gain by making apologies for criminals?

Do you apologies for all criminals or just mexican criminals?

Good afternoon.

How's this for a touch of paranoia? The coyotes are subsidized by the illegals already here and the Mexican government.

The invasion acts as a pressure relief valve by bleeding off excess bodies while spreading political influence into the US.

The officials get kickbacks from the coyotes and that gets distributed up the chain. Is that too far fetched?

Where have I apologized for any criminal? Because I called someone out for drama queening that every illegal alien is coming here "embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans"? Because I can distinguish the difference between a terrorist coming here and someone just looking for a better life? BTW, why would I use the term 'illegal alien' if I was condoning or excusing their actions? Because I recognize that wild exaggeration only hurts credibility, provides the left with an excuse to demonize and change the subject, and thus is counterproductive?

Do you apologies for all criminals or just mexican criminals?

Nice try. Since turnabout is fair play, when did you stop beating your wife?

She is right. You don't seem to understand the quote.

I never have beaten my wife and never will. Not a hard question at all. Now answer mine.
