From here.

Do you admit your ability to catch drugs at the border isn't making a difference?  That it's probably beaten by tweens on a regular basis (they caught this one kid, how many more got through)?  Do you admit your border patrol agents probably should focus on stopping illegal immigrants OR drugs, and not both?

QUOTE
Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican who has called for a crackdown on illegal immigration, had said there were more young illegal immigrants smuggling drugs than there were ones who were valedictorians of their classes in U.S. high schools.

A couple thoughts for His Royal Douchebaginess Rep. King:

1) Guess which pays more, asshole ... drug smuggling or getting good grades at teenaged daycare?  I'll give you a hint, it's the one with a profit margin of a million percent.

2) You're from fucking Iowa, the state bordered solely by other states.  Why don't you leave the border issues to the places that border other countries?  Why don't you focus on the issues your state cares about, like sucking up more of those federal subsidy dollars for your corn and soy farmers?

Granted, there are a shitload of illegal Mexicans working in the Sioux city stockyards. They shut down after INS raids.

NC has no shortage of immigrants, legal and illegal.

Had to pull an all-nighter at Gateway 2000 (North Sioux City, SD... right across the Sioux River from Sioux City, IA, and across the Missouri River from South Sioux City, NE) once, I was putting a database change online and needed the wee hours to get it in production, back up data, modify data to fit the new structure, test it, etc before first shift showed up.  Good times.

Anyway, at about 2am I walked down to the cafeteria for coffee or something.... just so happened 3rd shift was on break at that time.  Walked through scores of conversations happening in Spanish.  Didn't expect that.
