Hmmmmmm, reminds me of an insurrection.......maybe the Left should pay attention to what armed revolt REALLY looks like.
Look up the CJNG and see how many mass murders they are responsible for just over the last few months, in a country with very strict gun control. ISIS ain't got nothin' on these muchachos.
I have talked about Mexican corruption and the border until i am blue in the face. Nobody cares. This is what the left has in store for the good ol' Estados Unidos.

What he said... ' ..... not much difference between the different gangs anymore, mostly just where the paycheque comes from. ' BB News... Biden Sells Crack, and pipes ! Dirty drug hands for many decades, importing through Delaware Bay, complicit in trafficking under mob protection, special mobs, connected. Setting a precedent in Presidential Crime, the remedy demanded by the people, Constitutionally enabled.
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 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.

By that time, the southwestern states had pretty much filled up and the jobs were farther North anyway. The illegal incursion in the border states had been going on for many decades. At least since the 70s. Nobody anywhere else saw it or cared about it until the excess started spilling out of the border states over to the North, Southeast US and then up the Eastern seaboard, and all of a sudden, It's a Crisis!. (welcome to border states' world!)
(Calif was a different story)
The caravans of 2 or more vehicles traveling together, one being pulled by another is sometimes migrant workers going to the next harvest but is often also vehicles coming from used car auctions and other auctions.
Nothing new about that. I grew up in Baytown tx almost in sight of I-10 and for as long as I can remember, you could always tell when the big used car auction in Beaumont had took place. I was stationed in P-Cola Fla for 2 years in the mid 70s and there must have been a big one somewhere in East or South Fla too as there were lots of towbar pulled cars headed West back then.
That has been ongoing for decades as well. Anything that will roll. Trucks, cars, broke down mobile homes, surplus school buses. They are individuals or small time operators. The big operators send semitruck car carriers. I crossed the border into old Mexico at Laredo one year and the line over international bridge was backed up for 3 miles while US BP inspected all the auction vehicle titles. Mexico has high taxes on registering any vehicles and especially nearly new vehicles coming in from the US but vehicles 10 years old or older are exempt.
For many years, used toilets, bathroom sinks and bathtubs was the thing. A movie came out in the early 70s called Bunny O'Hare (Earnest Borgnine/Bette Davis) and he was a toilet thief, stealing them and hauling them to Mexico. I didn't see it until I came back from overseas but I knew exactly what his deal was as I watched the movie. Later, I was on a drilling rig right off I-59 at Freer Texas and not a day went by you didn't see at least one old broke down ratty pickup truck with tall side boards on it, piled high with used toilets and sinks southbound. Early 80s timeframe, same time the Austin chalk boom was going on.
From memory the trucks had temporary plates. They were only around for a year or so, but by then tons of illegals were moving in and through the region for work and to stay.

Because of where it runs and where illegals used to primarily populate and blend in.
Subs are easy pickins, and exciting ! They have the same problems they did in 1864 . Noisy, slow, hot and visible.
Very few of them are actually submarines. They're almost all actual speed boats of some sort that have been converted into a semi-submersible that skims just under the water, in hopes of evading radar.
