If you have a worse idea than this…

…please keep it to yourself.

Fed­eral bor­der agents say they will search for ille­gal immi­grants at inland Texas check­points even dur­ing a hur­ri­cane evac­u­a­tion, a plan state and local offi­cials say could lead to dis­as­trous delays and dis­cour­age some peo­ple from get­ting out. (source)

Given ten sec­onds any rea­son­able per­son can think of a half dozen or so ways that this is a deadly mis­take, not just for any ille­gals, but for the cit­i­zens stuck in traf­fic behind them.

    Maybe they were look­ing at the pho­tos of the inter­states jammed with peo­ple flee­ing and thought, “what this sit­u­a­tion really needs is road­blocks and a few more aban­doned cars.”
