This is an everyday occurence here in Arizona. Always makes the news.
Coyotes... drop houses... illegals in vans... trucks, in the desert, everyday-

And these are only the ones that are getting caught. Just imagine.

I heard a rumor that a pissed-off American patriot and former spec ops sniper shot out one of the van's tires with an M24.

And; I hope to God that your info is wrong.

Anti illegal immigrant I may be-------that sort of crap (if true) plays right into the hands of the pro illegal crowd in that Americans are xenophobes.

Well I wouldn't want that, because when they call us names like "xenophobe", "racist", etc. it really upsets me and makes me reach for my box of tissues to dry my eyes.

This is most likely a lie.........but in the extremely unlikely event it is true, that was a truly dumb thing to do. Now a bunch of them are in the hospital!
This group will run up $75,000 in medical bills without breaking a sweat and guess who will pay for it?

I'm hoping this is just sarcasm, it wouldn't take much to roll a van with 2 1/2 TONS of humans in it...
