I'm shocked!!

Beltran's car had crossed the border 28 times, most recently at the Nogales crossing two days before the deputies' stop, Tulbert said

A mere coincidence I'm sure

CRAP!! The link

Golly Gosh! I was told they just came up here for jobs! I'm shocked.

Iredell County sheriff's deputies who stopped a car on Interstate 40 earlier this week netted 52 pounds of cocaine

Another teaspoonful scooped out of the ocean---we'll have that sucker emptied any day now.

North Carolina--I am guessing by the county--although I-40 runs from coast to coast.

yeah, big "lick" allright. It cost the "big man" one load. probably less than 5K total investment. He will make it up and double the 5M on the next load......did anyone else catch the reason they stopped them? be careful out there with those license plate camera foilers....

[skeeter]

We should be thanking them, they're propping up our economy.

It'd collapse in a day without 'em, doncha know.

"Iredell deputies Joseph Tulbert and J.C. Elliott, who pulled the car over because it had an illegal tinted cover on its license plate,"

Yeah, right.

Looks like our gov't continues to FAIL in our 30 yr. "war on drugs".......only thing *new* is billions more tax dollars now being spent on a "long war on terror".

So much for our expensive new HSD, AND Tom Ridge, who now says "mexicans are not a threat to our national security".

While they may not be a "threat", *per say*, they CONTINUE to cost taxpayers billions every year in policing their illegal activities in the USA. Never mind the billions they cost us in welfare, education, etc.

So the other 27 loads, at about $5 million a load, got through. Now there's a record to be proud of.
1,400 lbs gets through and 52 lbs is confiscated - from just ONE runner.

BTW, just for the record, it doesn't say anywhere in the article that these were illegals.

[vin-one]

probably for personal use.

STATESVILLE (AP) --

I guess now they'll be getting their drugs from the pharmacy up at Statesville Prison -- along with Sally Decker, Dutch Gunderson, Montague Martin, Lana Casales, Veronica Rivers and the Burtons' butler, Thames.

Great intell, great use of records. DEA and INS geniuses can tell you how many times. But USE the data for any meanigfuL purpose (LIKE HERE'S A LEADING CANDIDATE TO BE IMPORTING SOMETHING ILLEGAL?)

Then again, I'm sure this was dismissed @ INS as bordering on racial profile-ing. And beside Gov't employees are there to live off the public, not provide value.
