And I'm right that W Bush started allowing illegal Mexicans into the US interior back in 2000.

I remember my brother pointing out what he said were called Mexican Trains. Those were groups of Mexicans on the interstate driving small trucks with another small truck pulled by a tow bar. There were always at least 3 or 4 of these tandem rigs together.

I never saw Mexican migrants around here until the Republicans took power in 2000. Then they were everywhere.

I've seen this multiple times when I lived in Texas... always 3 to 4 groups of one pickup hauling another pickup.

But they all had Texas plates, and they were all Toyotas. Every time I go on vacation and would hit I-10, I would see this. I have to assume it's a bunch of Toyota Tacoma fans that are looking to do off-roading together?

I have seen those little caravans countless times over the years, eastbound on 10. Usually the beds on the pickups were filled with junk bicycles. American plates, AZ and CA, I think it was all stuff acquired (stolen?) in USA, bound for Mexico.

Back in the '90s, I had an '86 Nissan pickup stolen from my driveway. Years later, I got a call from the Texas Rangers, who found my pickup somewhere in Nayarit (the state between Sinaloa and Jalisco). They told me I could go down and get it if I wanted it. I have been to Nayarit a few times, I declined.

The interior of the USA is what I said, not a border state.

There weren't any Mexicans seen around here prior to 2000. In 2000 they started coming. By 2005 all our construction sites were about half Mexican. If you asked one about George W, they had a positive reply. Because he allowed them to come.

The trains started running. None had our state plates nor any plate from a state bordering our state.

I wonder if they are vaccinated. If they are, are the mask really necessary/

I talked to a guy that was hauling that stuff one day at a truck stop about four years ago. He had a box truck, with a truck inside, pulling a truck, pulling a truck. He was headed for Belize.

He said when shipping was cheap, they go to Florida and take a boat across, but when it's more expensive they drive through Mexico. He said they don't get bothered, and the price of the vehicles is worth more in Belize than in the US.

I-10 is where you expect to see them. Never seen in the Eastern interior.of the US until W Bush and the Republicans opened the border to invasion. And we all know that W Bush and the Republucans allowed the invasion to begin in 2000. By the beginning of his first term half our construction forces were Mexican. The man stood in Mexico and called the Minutemen "vigilantes". Bush is an effing scumbag.

If course the war they started against Iraq, who W admits had nothing to do with 9-10-01 attacks was his next step.

Next choices of the GOP? Romney and McCain. McAmesty, they called John.

Why? Where's the logic behind that?
