Funny, that's exactly what my father had to purchase on the family vacation when the car overheated just outside of Gila Bend.

Gila Bend Mayor Chris Riggs has declared a state of emergency due to the ongoing border crisis, saying the blame rides on the Biden administration for sending migrants to his town by bus.
Mayor Riggs expressed his concern that his town is not equipped to handle the number of people coming in, especially in the middle of a pandemic.
“Border Patrol let us know that they were going to be dropping migrants that had been detained for 72 hours in our town, which we really didn’t understand because we have nothing here,” Riggs said. “We have no charity organizations that can help, no non-governmental organizations that a lot of the larger cities and towns do have to assist these people.”
Riggs went on to say that people are being bussed over to his town without access to food or shelter. The town of Gila Bend has a population of just 2,000 and has not received any federal, state, or local funding to help provide food or housing for migrants, or for coronavirus testing on migrants.
States had no rights under Trump’s four predecessors, states haven’t had any rights since at least 1913, probably since 1865.
The federal government could maybe take states seriously when the State Legislatures were selecting Senators to go the Washington.
But that ended a long time ago. State representation in Washington today? There is none. Just career politicians working the system for their own personal benefit.
The MS 150 charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis used to go through Gila Bend.
Gila Bend is also one of the hottest spots in the country, let’s see what happens in June
You mean they are just dropped off at the bus stop to fend for themselves?
Good question for do nothing ducey.
We should find buses to drop them off in DC.

Exactly! Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment. Force U.S. Senators to answer directly to their states' legislators again.
NOT sarcasm.
Thank you, ClearCase_guy!
Arizona dont cry now you voted for this, embrace and enjoy
Not a bad idea. Start chucking them over the fence. Luckily, those work both ways...
Do they still advertise themselves as the “Fan belt capital of the world”?
Who and how are these cities chosen? There is nothing in Gila Bend!!!
Oh, heck yeah but who is willing to drive them? I say, Joe and Kamala and maybe even Jenn Pisaki.
