all of the news stations that are reporting this, are referring to these people as "undocumented immigrants. What a line of pure hooey.
No matter how many times you change their name, they are still illegal aliens, and they were running because they knew it.
Was it worth all of that? They should have stayed where ever it is they came from........

Well, we should just open the border so they won't have to run.

Yep it was a human smuggling ring. DALLAS (AP) — Authorities say five people have been charged in a “smuggling scheme” following the fatal crash of an SUV that was fleeing Border Patrol agents and sheriff’s deputies in South Texas.
The Border Patrol has said two other vehicles had been traveling alongside the SUV earlier in the day. The agency says an agent suspected the vehicles were conducting a “smuggling event.”
Prosecutors said Tuesday that nearly two dozen immigrants were involved in the smuggling scheme.

High speed chases are seldom necessary with modern info systems. So much for the good press the BP racked up saving those kids in Arz.
