"5000 Greasy Illegals" only an arsole would say such a thing. Oh wait a minute.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

Unless they put a couple of floors in it, I can't see how they could take that number.
Seems like it would be a bit crowded, doesn't it?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Must be using a 40, in a 20 that would give each person less than 5 cubic feet of space which is 5 x 1 x 1 foot or smaller than a coffin. Even small Mexicans would have a problem. So I'm guessing they used a 40, where each would have 9.56 cubic feet.

Now, some are probably kids so that makes up for the occasional big one, but in any case it''s a sardine can.

That would be 250 per container, and I'm assuming it's one of these. Didn't they do that to slaves in the holds of cargo ships?

That's a little one they may have been in a big one (40ft):

Or an even bigger 45ft container.
