Oh goody. The largest ands most used semi-trailer is 53'-0" long x 8'-6' wide. The inside dimensions are approx 52.5'x8' which is 420 Sq Ft, total inside area. And iirc the 'average person' requires 3 Sq Ft to stand, that's 140 people that could easily be packed into each trailer by human smugglers.

Ergo, if only 100 Semis crossed each day -- which is only One every 14.4 minutes -- in one 30 day period that's another 420,000 ILLEGALS that we WILL wind up supporting. Not to mention the TONS of drugs that a single semi can haul.

I know the election is approaching fast but Obama needs to be removed from office asap. Jan 20, 2013 is too dam late! Plus, just imagine what that pos will do from Nov to Jan when he loses. He will take out his revenge on America faster than you can say 'Poughkeepsie'.

How many Mexican trucks cross the border right now? (And I would argue that 48-foot van trailers are more common than 53-foot, but something may have changed).

You still have to catch the truck smuggling the illegals. It makes no difference where the truck is headed (inside or outside the 25-mile zone).
