I know you're not. That's why I was surprised by that statement.

You can't stay in the US at all unless you actually make it to shore. But this level of thinking and effort should be rewarded... I say this is exactly the kind of immigrant we want, and they should have been allowed to stay.

40 miles out and they were picked up? By what authority? That's international waters. America and do shit about me in a bath tub, 5 miles out, snorting coke if I feel like it. So how exactly were they "allowed" to pick them up?

Quzah.

Rules are for other people...we're Americans, damn it, and we run the planet...ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.....!

Come to think of it, I'd like an answer to that as well. I thought you could run a floating whorehouse with impunity in international waters.

xoxoxoBruce · 07-28-2003, 09:21 PM

Make that 200 miles.

Thank god they weren't on their way to Australia, we have enough of that happening over here. But I like their idea, couldn't part with the car hey!

They would have been intercepted by the Navy, been shot at until they jumped overboard and then been used by the Howard propaganda machine to win the next election.....

By what rule of law was their vehicle seized?

If they were 40-50 miles from either shore, they were in international waters. I think it is a fine truck. Since when did people lose the right to cruise international waters in their choice of water craft? I might even go so far as to understand telling them to turn back, but destroying the truck was uncalled for. Just the feds out of control again.

If you dare to exist in this world in a way that is outside the expectations of the US government, then they will sink your sorry ass. Your tax dollars at work.

I'm just guessing here, but I suspect that the CG sank that excellent vessel because it represented a hazard to navigation. After all, we can't just have '51 Chevy pickup trucks floating around, unattended, in our coastal waters, can we?
