Illegal Aliens Caught in Fake Border Patrol Vehicle

Based on the surprising discovery of one Border Patrol officer, it's safe to say human smugglers are getting more cunning by the day.

Breitbart Texas reports that Agent Hector Garza, president of the National Border Patrol Council, Local 2455, became suspicious of a Chevy Tahoe that was traveling north of Laredo, Texas—roughly 70 miles into the Lone Star State. The vehicle was painted to look like a Border Patrol SUV. After pulling the car over, the driver was arrested and the agent discovered 12 illegal aliens in the back.

Garza said the 12 illegal aliens stuffed in a Tahoe shows the total disregard for human life these smugglers show towards the people they haul. "If this vehicle had become involved in a high-speed chase, it could have been catastrophic."

The vehicle was painted to look like a Tahoe regularly used by the U.S. Border Patrol. It did not have any overhead lights normally found on the vehicles. It did; however, have a light bar mounted on the dashboard and the rear view mirror had been removed. It appears the rear seats may have been removed in order to stuff more people into the vehicle.

"This shows the level of deviousness and desperation these smugglers will stoop to in order to deliver their cargo," Garza told Breitbart Texas. "They will not stop. Whether they are smuggling drug, humans or terrorists, to them it is just about the money."

This isn’t a new tactic. They’ve been doing this sort of thing in Texas for years.

Why not? We’ve had a fake president for 7 years so far.

What I find surprising is that it wasn't amn actual Border Patrol Agent in an actual Border Patrol vehicle chauffeuring illegals into America by presidential decree.

Seems like overkill - anyone who wants to walk across the ‘border’ gets a free pass.

This looks more like something connected to drug dealing or to the next terror attack.

Well, either that, or entertaining.

The outrage should be—do we have any real Americans working for the border patrol or just illegal aliens.

Illegal aliens ‘patrolling the border’ for illegal aliens. The sick world of hussein.

And if it had a secret tank full of nitro and a case of sparklers, it would have made a great show.

This is a characteristic of one's enemy in time of war.

What good is a wall, when they can climb over it?

Mexicano’s do good body work, and cheap car upholstery. Problem is, we’ve got plenty of them already.
(clearing throat)

In fact, the battle of the Alamo began when thousands of Mexicans rushed the old mission.
Travis, Bowie and Crockett thought it was war, but the tortilla-benders just thought the Americanos needed some concrete driveway work ....

The person who stopped the fake Border patrol vehicle was an actual Border patrol agent. There is nothing in the story to suggest that Agent Garza is not a “real American”.

Reading comprehension is good.

I guess anything can be counterfeited . . . I remember the latest version of monetary bills - counterfeit-proof! But they still hit my bill with those pen markers.

Yep, even Christians can be counterfeited.

Good idea, I was thinking about putting razor wire on top of the wall the entire width of the wall which should be at least 2 feet wide and 100 feet high
