In the first stop, agents searched a Dodge Durango with a Border Patrol dog after the driver and passenger appeared nervous. They found five people, including a woman and 5-year-old in a zipped duffel bag.
The driver, a 39-year-old U.S. citizen, and the passenger, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, were arrested and charged with alien smuggling.
Agents then searched the next vehicle after seeing a foot move under the back seat. Agents found four illegal immigrants, one concealed in a duffel bag.
The driver, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, was arrested and charged with alien smuggling.
The immigrants were returned to Mexico

Mimi - oh, the NAFTA superhighway is going to have fast track stickers for 'trusted traders' who can drive right through a special lane. No, sorry, four lanes, I think.
Of course NONE of those 'trusted traders' will be liable to smuggle people, right?

game over - you have no sympathy at all for our children and elderly who need funds they use when they come illegally, but all kinds of sympathy for those who come illegally. It wears thin.

How sad...makes you wonder if there were more cars in the caravan that got away with it...
Also makes you wonder how "safe" the proposed NAFTA Highway will be for Americans...will it just be a 10 lane pipeline for illegals?

Obviously those son of a biatches care is the $$$ not the lives of the illegals they are helping out. Alien smuggling should be a Felony charge.

Caravan is the most exposed way of smuggling aliens. It is obviously detected by patrols. Thus, people should stop smuggling immigrants in order to prevent arrests.

That's just stupid,why not just post a sign,we are transporting illegals..Although since Ive never smuggled anything or any body so I wouldn't know a good plan from a bad one.Maybe it would have been a lot easier to try to come legally.

If you are smuggling illegal aliens, then nothing you do happens to be "smart".

what people have to do just to get to this country is just sick . i feel so sorry for them not only because they put their lives in danger but because all of their hopes were gone as they capture them .
people shouldn't be doing such things but a really mess up system has put them in those circumstances . i seen how they live and how sometimes they don't even have money to eat and it sickens me .
have u ever had to say to a kid 'there is nothing to eat today' ???
