Authorities in Mexico say they have taken into custody 164 illegal Central American immigrants who were inside a truck that was supposed to be carrying aid to victims of recent flooding in the southern state of Tabasco.
The National Migration Institute says 159 Guatemalans and five Hondurans were hiding in the truck when it was stopped for a routine search.
The driver was arrested.
Many Central American migrants pass through southern Mexico en route to the United States to seek work.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP.

Under-grafting would probably be more like it down there, but underloading might be a close second.
Good one...

Oh. I thought they were Americans who sneaked into Mexico so their kids could get free health care.

Hmmmm. Wonder if they let all the illegal immigrants go on food stamps, welfare, free medical care, etc.? And enquiring minds want to know - did they give them drivers licenses, too?

Ralph Nadar wants to know if they were all wearing seat belts...
And Shrillery wants to know if they need drivers licenses so they can vote for her...

You can bet the Mexican authorities won’t give these people Southern hospitality either.
To: SwinneySwitch
The Mexican government has checked their papers and given each one a gallon of water, a map and a booklet telling them what to do AFTER crossing the American border, and trucked them to a border town closer to America for easier passage.

Naw. They probably gave them each a bottle of water and a motorcycle escort straight to the American border! After all, Jorge promised Vince, didn’t he?

“...migrants were crammed into a false-bottom of the trailer, on the front of which the traffickers draped a sign that read: “For our brothers in Tabasco”.
Los hermanos aren’t going to like that!
