    Well hi guys, most of you are english, so I was wondering, if any of you would bother read this through for me, and perhaps correct my misspellings and gramar errors.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In southwestern Texas, is the border seperating USA and Mexico slowly turning into a warzone.
    Drugs smuggling and an extensive illegal immigration has been the order of the day for years.The authorities have little clue to what, they could do about the problem.

    Illegal stranger
    E.g. a bus arives in the middle of the night to the border crossing, between Presidio, USA and Ojinaga, Mexico. Only a few bordertroopers waits for the bus, with the approximately 30 illegal immigrants, who has been captured during the last couple of days. Juan, one of the american bordertroopers, gives the order “We’ll take them out of the bus, 5 at a time” Nice and easy boys. I don’t think we’ll get any trouble”
    Usually there is no trouble. The drug smugglers can be quite heavily armed, but the majority of the immigrants are peaceful and indulgent. First time they get caught, they are almost frightened. Those who has been caught before, are a bit more relaxed. They shrug and disappear in to Mexico. Only to try to cross the border illegally a few days later. You continue the game of cops and robbers.

    The promised land
    The constant imperativeness on the 3.200km long american border persist. American jobs are so attractive to the illegal immigrants, that many are willing to accept the risk. It’s estimated, that today 2.7 million illegal immigrants are in the USA. Between 1 and 3 million crosses the border illegally each year; only 100.000 remains permanently in USA.

    Only a couple of niggles over Blue65's stuff, a couple of dodgily-phrased sentences and cases of superfluous punctuation ;)
