Travel Status with Convoys of Smugglers I-44 to the Heartland
John W. Slagle
April 17, 2006
For most people, a long trip from the desert areas of the southwest to the heartland is a great experience. A road trip along I-10, I-25 to I-44 always reveals some beautiful territory in spring as well as stark reality. A brief stop for the U.S. Border Patrol, New Mexico Check point northbound was deeply appreciated. Agents had numerous vehicles in secondary inspections that contained loads of suspected illegal aliens to contraband narcotics.
Beyond the immediate border, the farther north and inland a person drives, vigilant citizens can see many strange and suspicious activities.
Along the I-44 corridor east from Albuquerque to Amarillo, Texas, I observed 37 profile loads of human cargo driven by smuggler transporters.
As a former anti-smuggling Special Agent, criminal activity was very much in open view. The vehicles were all filled with people, dangerously overloaded in violation of State laws as well as Federal statutes, 8 USC 1324. A large U-haul rental truck was ? leaking a urine trail? from the tail gates, an obvious over spilled bucket used by packed masses of illegal aliens.
Smuggler Pick-ups, campers, vans, and cars proceeded past a few State DPS Officers who did not respond nor attempt to stop any of the vehicles. This phenomenon was later explained by a State Trooper I met at a rest stop. The officer stated that ?Immigration and Customs Enforcement rarely sends anyone on traffic stops involving Human trafficking at interior locations. If they have an Investigator available, it may take hours or several days for response time, meanwhile ?holding facilities? are filled and require additional officers. ICE normally advises to ?cut them loose? if none are identified as felons?. This is the new and improved DHS that has changed little from the old INS that had very few criminal investigators per state.
Driving at a leisurely speed through Oklahoma from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, I lost count of suspected smuggling vehicles observed after sixty-five. Like counting box cars on a long train, you lose interest after a time and just want to see a clear crossing. On the 6th of April, Tornado Alley along I-44 was also demanding some very serious attention with high wind conditions and ? Twister warnings? in Kansas City and South Missouri.
It was a good time to get off the highway and wait out the storm.
Finding a decent Motel is always an adventure especially lower rate rooms that are similar to third world nations in cleanliness.
Many older motels along the interstate cater to long range transporters who will place 15 to 20 people in a room, clear weather or foul while the driver?s rest in a separate quarters. This has been a constant Smuggler Motus Operendi for decades.
Talking to several Chihuahua Mexican nationals, all were heading to Arkansas for jobs in the poultry industry and Amnestia, ?amnesty?. A total of over a hundred entered illegally without inspection near El Paso, Texas. 27 were traveling in the two vans parked at the motel.
When the weather cleared, leaving a window of opportunity for travel to Springfield, Missouri, more suitable lodgings were found at the Hampton Inn.
South Missouri is an amazing place where many citizens and legal resident Foreign nationals still work at minimum wage jobs. Jobs Americans will not do, per politicians are done everyday in the heartland.
In a five day stay, the Hotel was immaculate as were the rooms. Maid Service as well as the personnel involved with the service industry were hard working citizens, Black and Caucasian, young and older people who made $5.15 per hour plus any tips that guests provided. English was the spoken language.
Nearby restaurants, fast food establishments also employed young people and older citizens, all very friendly, courteous. No suspected illegal aliens were observed in the city or outlying small towns.
In a three hundred mile trek around most of the Ozark territory, corporations are unknown as well as the concept of illegal aliens, cheap labor. Many small communities have been devastated by Tornados and are trying to rebuild with little or no government assistance. Farmers still toil the land with the help of family and"hired hands? in most cases, not an easy life due to droughts or floods.
Talk Radio is a means of communication, news and political views throughout the nation. KSGF Springfield passed along Arizona Senator John McCain?s view on not being able to find Americans to pick crops in the hot sun and even offered to pay them $50 a hour if they could do hard labor similar to illegal aliens There were many working class people ready to take the Senator?s job proposal until clarified as typical political nonsense.
With an average two day work week for elected officials in Washington and constant vacations, they should take the time to really see America, talk to people from all walks of life. Politicians might gain an insight if they actually took a road trip and listened to taxpayers, voters.
Union Meat cutters, Farmers without corporate interests, working individuals still at minimum wage standards are not happy with the give-away of this nation in Washington, D.C.
Politicians could practice Spanish or foreign language skills with actual illegal alien loads, cocaine and marijuana Smugglers. They might be impressed unless they believe you to be a NARC or ICE official. This is a very real world beyond Special Interests Groups,Socialist sponsored Demonstrations and organized Religion advocating open borders and non-compliance with any immigration law.
Talk to Police agencies and the United States Border Patrol who have seen a large increase in illegal entries, crime during the Congressional Easter break. Not all are entering by the thousands daily for an opportunity to work in chicken processing plants or hopeful for another Amnesty. There are some very serious factions that are here with other purposes in mind, MS-13
Gang Bangers to Terrorists. Human Traffickers will continue to bring anyone into the United States for a price.
Take a trip on the wild side of life, our nation?s Interstate Highway system, smuggling corridors of illegal alien loads, contraband and criminal elements of society, wanted felons in transit on a daily basis from many countries.
