Each of them had paid $7,000 to travel to the United States, the attorney general said.

That my friends is just shy of 3.6 million. In unrelated news, I am starting truck driving lessons next month.

Lol, yes Wally. But not the US. They are returning them to their respective Central and South American and Japan home countries.

How many could fit in my 5x8 trailer? I'm working out the gas and mileage now.

You are a bit confused I think. Tractor trailers are typically 102 inches (2.6 m) wide, 13.5 feet (4.1 m) feet in height and about 28 ft long.

Times 2.

Even so they must have been packed in tight.....
