    Hell I used to drive down to the border in my personal vehicle and part for a day or two, go messing around on the other side. it got extremely on the south sides of the border in several towns, to the point that most of that stopped several years ago. I never had any problems down there in a truck.

    I know for sure.......

    Reminds me of that driver that was killed in Detroit a few years back....He wasn't looking for trouble-All he wanted to do was park INSIDE the gates for safety. They wouldn't leet him in,And that night he was killed,robbed and set ablaze outside the gate. Makes me sick.

    It was at ThyssenKrupp on Wesson street. And I questioned a few of their own Drivers about it and They were pretty Stuck up about things. Terrible deal there.

    Stop being ignorant. I'm not playing the race card at all. You're not me and you have no idea what it is like to be me. That's like me telling a white person not to feel unsafe in dangerous area of Dallas where there are no white people, just because I don't feel un safe living there.
