Im not talking about temp tags which I know is a scam

Is there also some kind of scam with real plates? Only thing I can think of is cheaper insurance. Is it something I should do myself?

Lots of families have ties to south LA and Houston. Mostly due to hurricane migration

I brought this up around a decade ago and was pretty much told I was imagining things.

Cheaper insurance and/or fake plates is likely it.

If they want cheaper insurance Arkansas would be the state to do it in.

Around the September and October time frame there was 10,000 workers down in Plaqueman parish working on the LNG facility. I think there is another project like that south of Lake Charles. Lots of those workers are from Texas.

Yes, both part of the Venture Global LNG facilities. One in Plaquemines Parish and one in Cameron Parish. I personally probably know at least 100 "Mexicans" from Texas that are in Plaquemines right now.

I can only speak for my general area (Morgan City) Performance contractors hired a large amount of people for their fab yard near town (old J. Ray Mcdermott facility) and they are 99.9% Texicans.
