When I was a small boy there was a fad where young people would try to cram as many people into a phone booth. that was in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Now it looks like there is a new fad. How many illegals can a criminal truck driver can fit into the cab of his tractor?
None of them, including the driver should go free. “Book’em Danno!”
