"So-called "stash houses" or "drop houses" are all over Phoenix, Arizona. These are buildings that human smugglers use to hide illegal immigrants.
I've come here to meet Alonzo Pena, the special agent in charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Phoenix. We're about to take a drive around the city to see some of these stash houses.
But first, Agent Pena shows me a city map with little red dots showing where these houses are located. The map is peppered with so many dots that it looks like it's been used in target practice at a firing range. In the first four months of this year, authorities say they have discovered nearly 80 new stash houses. "

Oops I double posted one part. Here is the operative paragraph.
“Agent Pena and I pull up to a beautiful stucco home with a Spanish tile roof. You would never suspect the house was used by smugglers. “I wouldn’t mind living in a house like this,” Pena says. His agents found 160 illegal immigrants stashed in this house.

Wait until they start piling into big rigs.
Where is a bazooka when you need one.
How many in the Senate?
Three flame throwers from three directions will work just fine for me.
That picture brings back warm memories of Travis McGee.
If they come to this country for a better life for their kids and one assumes that 160/house must be better then were they come from, just how many do they fit in a house in the “country” of Mexico?
If nothing else,it seems the illegal immigrants have a solution to the homeless problem!
