Houston will confirm that we are talking some ROUGH terrain along the
border. Although it does seem that a welder could fix the Expeditions, We're
talkin' five year old trucks which is a LOT for off-road law enforcement
vehicles.
Since it seems that most of our illegal visitors from across said border are
driving brand new F-250 4X4 extended cabs, that the border patrol ought to
be able to seize a few for their own use.
