Chinese illegal immigrants discovered in Texas border town


You know your country is awful when your people pay 55k to get smuggled into
the United States to request asylum.


Quote:
LA JOYA, Texas (AP) -- Local police are accustomed to dealing with
illegal border crossings but were astounded by the video of 15 Chinese
immigrants unfolding themselves from the back of a sport-utility vehicle
near this small border town.

Question(s):
If things are so bad where ever they came from ... how did they put together 55K?
Even with the 5 or 6 of you helping, I couldn't put together 55K! (Could I? - Prove me wrong - especially you, Pan - based on our long and growing relationship).

Also ... I was hoping for a video ... what part of China did they come from and why did they leave and why here? Forgive if that was in the article - I merely scanned it.
The reason I wanted a video was that I've recently ran into many Chinese citizens who are actually of Russian extraction - just living on the Chinese side of the border. It fairly well surprised me to find that there are many Chinese and Russian people who are Americans - born and bred in Alaska - who eventually move down to the contiguous states.

Maybe they got tired of Chinese food and wanted to try some good Texas BBQ.... :)
