Is this putting our citizens in danger Border Patrol Agents Work With DPS Troopers To Arrest 28 Illegal Aliens?
LAREDO (AP) - Laredo Sector Border Patrol Agents and DPS troopers worked together to apprehend 28 illegal aliens Tuesday night. The case began when agents working at the checkpoint located on Interstate Highway 35 north of Laredo performed an immigration inspection of the driver of a tractor-trailer. The agents decided to make a secondary inspection of the vehicle and instructed the driver to move the truck to the inspection area. Instead of following directions, the driver bypassed the inspection area and headed north on Interstate-35. Agents pursued the truck and attempted to stop it but the driver refused to pull over. When the truck reached mile marker 40, DPS troopers took over the pursuit. Near mile marker 49, troopers deployed spike strips that deflated the truck's two front tires, prompting the driver to eventually stop the vehicle. After the driver was arrested, agents and troopers searched the truck and found 28 undocumented aliens in the trailer. The driver and the aliens were turned over Immigration and Customs Enforcement. http://www.kristv.com/global/story.asp?s=10152960

Yes. Every vehicle which rolls across the border with undocumented aliens inside puts our citizenry in danger. Protect the borders, North South East West: Stop and search the vehicles, arrest drivers, and send the UA's back.

absolutely, these brave heroes should have the right to use weapons on sight, you do not know whether it is just criminals sneaking in or drug cartel etc... These people should not have to wait until fired upon or anything else. If they were not criminals, they would not be crossing the border in this manner!

Actually its a real wasted effort. All we need to do is stop rewarding/encouraging them to come here and stay here and they will self deport at no cost. No jobs. No welfare. No medical. No schooling. No anchor babies. No illegals!!!!

I am glad they stopped them and caught all the illegals. Goes to show what they will try to do to get away. There are a couple of real dangers to citizens.... first had the truck gotten through undetected, who knows what kind of people were illegally invading our nation. Second, if the driver had lost control and wrecked the rig and involved innocent citizens. I am sure there is a third, forth and so on.... screw these people, lets hit them with all we have and knock off this cat and mouse game once and for all! It also makes me wonder, what agents let this truck on through the primary inspection/crossing area!! They should also be investigated!!

This is a good reason why trucks from MX should not be allowed in the US unless they are unloaded, completely checked and if they pass inspection they can Proceed.

I think the day is coming when our law enforcement people are going to have to take very serious risks. Stopping that truck laid an example on the guy that he will talk about when he finally goes home.

domba78.....i live in the jeep land called Toledo....jeeps are a big part of the storied tradition of toledo....they been making them here for decades....so back to your questions...the 4.0 liter six is a good stout engine...their transmissions are average....their fuel mileage is not that great...and their reliability is OK....there is noway for anyone on this forum to tell u if this one jeep i good or bad....but if your looking for fuel mileage as your main issue then the jeeps out......any car can break down...but jeeps are relatively inexpensive to repair if u do have issues...we own one and it has been a reliable vehicle for us...and good in bad weather...good luck....."VERY IMPORTANT" have this vehicle inspected by a disinterested 3rd party technician before buying

It's a good vehicle by most definitions, though not the most reliable. Expect mid-teens around town when it comes to mileage, and high-teens on the highway. There's not too much to a Cherokee, although the Laredo with have a few extra doo-dads that are more prone to breaking. Make sure it runs solid and has not been abused (driving in 4WD on asphalt is common for those vehicles - and causes a lot of damage). The 4.0L In-line 6 is very common and pretty reliable, but it's thirsty and can be finicky. GOOD LUCK!
