Founded in 1914, Greyhound Lines, Inc. is the largest provider of intercity bus transportation, serving more than 3,100 destinations with 16,000 daily departures across North America. It has become an American icon, providing safe, enjoyable and affordable travel to 22 million passengers each year. The Greyhound running dog is one of the most-recognized brands in the world . . .
Greyhound has four subsidiaries in the United States, which are a part of the nationwide Greyhound network. They include: Carolina Trailways, serving the Southeast; Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma Coaches ("TNM&O"), serving the Southwest; Valley Transit Company, serving the Texas-Mexico border, and Vermont Transit, serving New England.
In addition, Greyhound has interline partnerships with a number of independent bus lines across the United States. These bus companies provide complementary service to Greyhound Lines' existing schedules and link to many of the smaller towns in Greyhound Lines' national route system . . .
For those within Mexico who wish to travel by Greyhound in the United States, Greyhound subsidiary Greyhound de Mexico can sell Greyhound tickets at one of more than 100 agencies located throughout Mexico. The agencies also sell tickets for several Mexican bus companies, like Estrella Blanca, which connect to Greyhound service at the United States-Mexico border cities.

They also drive Chevy pickups. Sue GM, too?
It's not Greyhound's job.
Good catch! I'll will be right back with the corporate office addresses for the Big Three auto makers . . .
For decades INS/ICE has ignored Greyhound. It'd be so easy to pull over the bus and round up a couple dozen on each.
Not on topic at all, but everytime I see the word "Greyhound" I think of the old country song, "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone." Simple me, I guess, but that always strikes me as funny.
Boy, I wonder who Greyhound didn't pay off politically to start to get this kind of heat.
ummmmmmmmm
no....
I don't think you can blame Greyhound for the people that ride it anymore than you can blame GM or Ford or Chrysler if they drive those type of vehicles...
or hey, they eat at McDonald's and Burger King. Let's sue them too!!!
/heavy extreme sarcasm
Because we HATE illegal aliens, YEEE HAW!!!!
Don't disagree, and they should.
But that's still INS (or whomever's) job, not Greyhound's job.
Greyhound's job would be to pull over and let them do their job.
What are my grounds for suing? How does this hurt me?
We should also sue restaurants for feeding them.
It's OK to be against illegal immigration but sometimes you need to get a grip on reality.
(Sorry, Mike - I'm being sarcastic too, since there's an entire thread from yesterday blaming Wells Fargo for illegal aliens buying homes: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1563956/posts ; )
There is an article here on FR from a few months ago that Greyhound was getting concerned because smugglers were loading illegals on their buses and that greyhound was stopping it. One or two might not be noticed, but they were getting them by the dozen.
Greyhound is trying.
One thing that is not brought up...another reason why all the political power in this country is pro-illegal immigration is that it not only provides cheap labor, but provides more consumers.
More illegals = more greyhound passengers.
I wondered :)
I wouldn't mind some security measures being required for people when they board a public bus or passenger train. A valid drivers license or passport would seem like a minimum.
It wouldn't bother me at all if this was a huge inconvenience for illegal aliens either.
". . I'm being sarcastic too"
Thank God! I thought you were an idiot.
From someone who WAS being serious on the other thread: "Bring charges against any and all persons, businesses, and organizations that harbor, aid, and abet illegal aliens. Anyone who conducts such activity, and especially those that do it for the reason of making an almighty dollar using illegals, should be charged. Anyone who places their allegiance for an almighty dollar over the safety and security and sovereignty of this nation, deserves nothing less than having the full brunt of the law thrown at them. Greed and lust for the almighty dollar knows no national allegiance and therefore those citizens who practice such should reap the results."

"They could blow it up in a major tunnel or drive it into an elementary school."
Why not just rent a Ryder Truck and fill with amonium nitrate?
Be a lot easier, and there's been a test run to show that it works.
