17 illegal immigrants found in U-Haul
Associated Press
FALFURRIAS — Seventeen illegal immigrants were found hidden in the back of a hot U-Haul moving truck, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said today.
The immigrants were discovered by a Border Patrol dog at an inland highway checkpoint Friday. All were given fluids but declined medical attention.
All the immigrants were from Mexico and returned voluntarily to Mexico.
The driver, a 29-year-old U.S. citizen from Brownsville, was arrested and charged with alien smuggling.

I think that the sooner they get the border fence built, the better...
Maybe they should choke it down to 1 border crossing point, too, with like, 10 cars a day? Golf carts, at that, with bare frames...so there's no place to hide stuff...with really, really small tires...

Illegal smuggling so profitable that Anglos are doing it along with Latinos, and the Fence will make more profitable to perform the task. Untied States and Mexican border is the most unique in the world because the corruption works on both sides of the border. Ever heard of getting a hot Anglo Women or Latino women to hit on border patrol agents to get drugs, and illegals through it happens everyday. This is why a guest worker program is needed to reduce the preserve incentives to migrate, and business will still hire illegals regardless of the fine because we have weak labour laws in America? For example, walmart been sued numerous times by illegals and natives for not paying full wages. Illegal immigration not gonna stop till labor laws are stronger, and business get there property confiscated for hiring illegals, and fines dont do nothing there lawyers will find a way to write of the fines in the tax code. Got to treat them like drug dealers before changes occur. I cant blame poor Mexican Migrant from Chipas, or Tabasco there looking for a job to feed the family. Employers hiring illegals can be sued by the state, and people who hire with full knowledge illegals in Untied States should be sent to prison, and disbarred from organizing any type of business. Congress is just sending smokescreens, and both parties are in bed with narco polticans in Mexico the fence is line the pockets on both sides of the border at the expense of honest working people.

It was probably removed because someone didn't want the information out to others. This immigration category is very notorious for radical pro immigration villiage idoits.
As of today they have anounced that the number of illegals entering the USA yearly has been way under estimated.
They have been using 3 million as the number but today it was said to be more like 9,000,000 (million yearly) 80% from Mexico and 20% other countries not central or south american countries.

seems to me they should be glad they got the chance to go back. The last one I heard was in Dalton Ga and a truck full of Mexicans died. Don't know what your question was but i think it's great that they got caught and that the 29 year old got locked up hopefully that will teach him to betray his country

Aren't we here to answer QUESTIONS? I read newspapers, and if you want to post AP articles and state your opinions then write to a newspaper editor. Anyone can. Unless you are unable to form your own opinion. Maybe that is why you are asking for other opinions.

Eh...they were probably in the back of the truck when he rented it. That'll teach him to next time check the cargo area before driving out of the U-Haul lot. :)

Not sure what your question really is. The actions taken were correct.
