Military age. Hmmm. Little in-house Chinese army being assembled, eh?

They were actually headed to New York to stay at Hitlery's house.

Hitlery Clinton was unavailable for comment.

where did they get those dimensions,it more like 9 feet high eight feet wide and either 20 ,40 or 45 feet long and they do not have holes cut into the floor,that is if it is an intermodel container,that can be hauled by ship,truck or rail,I haven't realy seen any other type.

This total is the equivalent of 60 seconds worth of illegals crossing over from Mexico on the San Diego border.

I've got to Hmmm right along with you on this.

The INS should detain them in one area,
then watch to see if one or two of them appear to be in charge.
Those are the Officers or NCOs.

I've been noticing reports of similar stowaways in other places surrounding the U.S. Always men of military age.

"had apparently agreed to pay their smugglers about $60,000 for a voyage to the United States..." Wouldn't these chinese be considered wealthy in china?

Remember the fights to keep COSCO away from taking over long beach?

I wonder if these so called boys/men are really part of a long term chinese strategy to bring terror to the US. Wonder if they had contacts set up here in the US to take them in, feed and water and train and arm them. Wonder if there have been two such episodes in TWO WEEKS if this hasn't been going on week in week out....

Cosco-tho not our nation's friend (it is owned by the chinese government, of course)-certainly was/is bill clinton's and diane feinstein's friend.

Wonder how many more of these stowaways are ramming into the ports on either end of the Panama Canal everyday?

Every single ship that enters into the US territory from China should be inspected top to bottom. I don't think these men were capable of getting 60,000 gran together. I think they are here with their country's blessing. The trappings simply make it LOOK like they are stowaways so that no one will question behind the sordid veneer.

If the chinese are willing to smuggle AK-47's onto the streets of our nation, they are CERTAINLY willing to smuggle human beings capable of causing unrest and harm.

Call me a conspiracy nut, whatever, this is a valid scenario.

Clean ‘em up, re-supply with food and water, stick ‘em back in the crate and send it back to China.

The poor INS officials.... It must have smelled terrible when they opened the cargo box.
It's no wonder they might prefer to look the other way and let in some illegals.

We should bill China for the cost of decontamination and for insulting us, perhaps of an amount equal to the amount they billed us after they crashed into our EP-3 last year, and charge China will human trafficking (and then kick them out of the WTO).

We should charge them a fine for each day there are here without a visa then demand compensation from China just as they did to our men and women they kidnapped
