Illegal immigrants stow away on trucks in southern border areas
March 9, 2009

Truckers hauling in or out of southern border towns are sometimes unknowingly giving a ride to illegal immigrants, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.




OOIDA member Vickie Thomas, Mound Bayou, MS, almost had it happen to her on March 4.

She was inside the Pilot Travel Center in Laredo, TX. When she returned to her rig, another trucker held a handwritten note up to her window that said, “Call the police. … There are two Mexicans on top of your cab.â€
