bro, they arent even legal residents of the country. All the police have to do is pull them over and call immigration and have them thrown in jail.

The police dont want to frick with it. They are more worried about brake tag roadblock inspections on the interstates.

They are usually going back home after working here a few years when you see the In Tow vehicles. Mexico only allows them to bring in older trucks and vans. Vehicles, clothes, and electronics are more expensive in Mexico than the US. They do not want a bunch of cheaper products entering their marketplace so they can keep the prices high.

If they have a passport they are allowed to stay in the US for thirty days.
I see cars with Mexican plates all the time.

They make good money off the crap down there. It should be illegal for them to tow that crap on our roads. You know they don't have insurance.


That's also tax revenue that they aren't paying on their transactions. Welcome to America! Pay your bills!

Never, ever, challenge a Mexican to a game of Tetris. You will get your arse waxed.

Wrong.

You Can Call Immigration All You Want But They Won't Come Get them. It's a waste of time. They tell you to just release them.
