"Oh, and call Presidente Fox and the area rep for each of the cartels and tell them that we should be able to move at least '300 boxes of strawberries' across into the EU. He'll know what I mean."
"And, remember that dark guy with the turban who knocked on the door, we'll he should be back once he knows the soldiers are gone, but, look for him anyway and tell him we should be able to handle four and, maybe, all of those packages he asked us about."
"Yep, we haven't made any money in a long time because of those damn soldiers but the PANistas have demanded their taxes. We could make a bundle. Maybe this trip, I won't steal a new car, maybe, I'll buy one."

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Two Egyptian men allegedly took part in a plot to smuggle Middle Eastern immigrants into New Jersey by way of Mexico, according to federal authorities. Adel R. Nasr, 22, of Hamilton, and his brother, Gamal Abdalgalil Nasr, 22, of Queens, N.Y., were charged Tuesday with aiding or abetting a scheme to bring undocumented aliens into the United States.
Ernestine Fobbs, a spokeswoman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, told The Record of Hackensack that the pair had been arrested for immigration violations, but she declined to comment further.
Court documents unsealed late Tuesday claim the men worked with an unidentified Egyptian national based in Guatemala. The ring allegedly helped "large numbers" of illegal immigrants by flying them on tourist visas from Egypt and the Middle East to Brazil, then to Guatemala and Mexico before being taken over the southwest U.S. border.
The immigrants were each charged $8,000, according to the court documents.
Some of the planning for one phase of the smuggling operation unfolded last month inside Adel Nasr's apartment in Mercer County, court documents said. A Queens apartment allegedly used in the scheme also has been under FBI surveillance for the past week.
Many of those who were smuggled by the group come from or have contacts in the Egyptian town of Bata, an impoverished community 20 miles north of Cairo, the documents stated. Some of the immigrants have been captured by U.S. Border Patrol agents, officials said.
And we are glad all those "posts" are now fully manned....but what if someone crosses the border at someplace other than those posts?
