A seemingly innocent Texas license plate got a man stopped by Mexican soldiers at the border

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

As reported by KRGV 5 News, the soldier grilled the man, who requested to remain anonymous, for several minutes. The questions were focused on the letters ‘CNG’ on the man’s license plate.

“What caught their attention was the license plate. You know, he asked me, what did they mean? I honestly did not understand his question. He’s like, why did I choose them?” Unbeknownst to the driver, the letters ‘CNG’ at the beginning of his license plate number were letters that the Mexican army associates with the Cártel Nueva Generación, or New Generation Cartel, a major Mexican drug cartel.

“I’ve never been affiliated with [a drug cartel], and I don’t plan to, you know, be,” the driver said. He hopes his experience will inform drivers who cross into Mexico that soldiers at the border can misinterpret their license plate numbers. KRGV notes that the Mexican army also associates the letters ‘CDG’ with the Cártel del Golfo, or Gulf Cartel.

A representative with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles told the station that they have received calls in the past from drivers concerned about license plates with the string of letters, asking why they were issued. According to KRGV, the representative said, “it’s a coincidence.”

Both Canada and Mexico need to be invaded and annexed. This little charade of them being sovereign state and not vassals of the superstate run out of DC has gone on long enough.

Canada, sure: they're already virtually the 51st state. Mexico: well, they invade us on a regular basis (apparently with impunity), so turnabout's fair play, right?

Mexico would be a challenge, though. Canada, not so much.
