Aliens all. They are being caught, one way or the other. Too bad the coyotes can’t be caught the same way.

Or, it might have been a truckload of Dear Leader's newest "Best Buds" (Tally-Ban) who just happened to cross our border (allowed and welcomed by Big Sis and Hillary)

Photobucket

....to help with the negotiations towards the proposed release of one of their Leaders from GITMO?

The Ford F-250 doing a job that Americans won’t do.

Well that's a 5 ton truck, the one here is just an F250 Ford pickup. So overloaded, the tires blew out.

What a surprise!

How tragic and sad.

It only took 24 posts to get there. Thank you for your sane response. RIP to all the victims, and may the Lord comfort the families and loved ones...whoever they may be.

And it was probably worn out Chinese rubber on a 100 degree Texas day.

I’ll bet my next Social Security check that some liability lawyer has already filed a lawsuit against the tire company.

AP is reporting that they’re illegals (the only surprise being that AP is reporting it): http://bigstory.ap.org/article/authorities-13-dead-after-truck-crashes-texas (the URL says 13 dead, but the story says 14).

I imagine one would have to be a lunatic, suicidal or just plain stupid to get into a pickup truck with 23 people jammed into it. It's a tragedy just waiting...

Thank you government!

Nothing surprises anymore in today's America.

I've seen people with pickups packed so high, the junk in the back nearly hits the bottom of overpasses..Endangering all on the roads.

Thank you government!

I wonder if they'll sue the truck manufacturer too, because the capacity plates which indicate load limits, were not in Spanish.

I testified in a product liability case in Corpus Christi Texas in 1982 about that exact thing.

A Spanish speaking illegal took the radiator cap off an overheated earthmover and got burned.
