Go Greyhound Gringo


Greyhound employees who sell bus tickets to illegal aliens will face termination reports the Associated Press.

The policy warns that failure to comply could result in the employee's firing and possibly arrest.

Kimberly Plaskett, a Greyhound spokeswoman, said she didn't know how many customers have been denied tickets under the policy but called it a "pretty rare" occurrence. The Dallas-based company adopted the policy in 2002 in response to the criminal indictment of a now-defunct, California bus company that pleaded guilty to immigrant smuggling, she said.

The policy was largely unknown outside the company until La Opinion, a Spanish-language newspaper in Los Angeles, reported on it earlier this month.

Of course illegal immigrant's rights activists are outraged. They say the policy specifically targets hispanics and invites *gasp* racial profiling. But since hardly any activists ride Greyhound, what can they really do?
