Default Aliens arrested in Roswell

ICE arrests 15 aliens in Roswell working for U.S. military contractor

Quote:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents today arrested 15 illegal aliens who were working for a local company here that is under contract to paint U.S. military aircraft, including Lockheed C-130 military aircraft.

Some of the aliens were in the process of painting these aircraft when they were arrested.

And I'll bet they appeared very human. The I-told-you-so's should be forthcoming, heh?

Considering I am from a South East Coast state, I should have been arrested for being an alien in Roswell when I was there 2 years ago. Considering the landscape, I certainly felt like one.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I was pretty sure it was going to be about illegals, but I had to click on it just to make sure.

It's big business in Roswell -- tourism -- bringing in a large portion of their GDP. I doubt it will ever end.

They have a large alien museum and research center in the middle of town. They have their annual Alien Festival which is growing in size and popularity every year. For some merchants, the festival brings in more revenue than the Christmas shopping season (I have read this in local newspaper articles).

I just knew the stories were true! The government is not only surpressing the facts with a humugous coverup operation but, they employ the ailens as well!

What I don't understand is they are brownish, short to normal sized, and everyone said they were small and grey. Could this be another species of interplanetary visitor?

There goes the neighborhood!

No, they are just sloppy painters, and are grey after work.

The stories are true. People believe them. But the facts tell a different story.
