To Catch a Car Thief
We watched Dateline last night. Their "To Catch A" series was about car thieves in Houston Texas.
The whole episode was a lesson in the importance of securing our border with Mexico.
First, the thieves were almost exclusively Latino, except for the car-jackers (Those who stole the cars by force) who were exclusively black.
Just so you don't think I'm just slamming the minorities, there WAS one white guy out of the 30 or so thieves.
But hey, it IS Houston, right?
It reminded me of the trip I took to Tijuana, Mexico. As soon as you enter the city, you see that BOTH sides of the street are lined with auto parts stores. San Diego is the car-theft capital of the US. Coincidence?
The criminals weren't limited to car theft. They also explained to the undercover cop that they could bring as much drugs and guns "across the border" as they [the buyer] needed. Kilos of cocaine, meth, ecstasy and AK47's. The cops bought what looked like a Glock, for $250.
Maybe the Iranians have the right idea, afterall.
