Vehicle crossings more common at border
With windows tinted charcoal black and a hint of new-car smell lingering inside, the Chevy Suburban with California plates nearly made it through a border inspection booth. Then a customs officer spotted something behind the back seats.Under the gray carpeting lay 14 undocumented Mexicans eight women, five men and a little boy packed together so tightly that some had to remove their shoes to fit. They're part of a growing number of migrants sneaking across the border in cars and trucks. Some cram themselves into empty gas tanks, hollowed-out dashboards and even engines. Others hide inside cargo, from pinatas to washing machines. Rest at link. Posted by: ed 2006-06-20 |
