    Smugglers abandoned 57 immigrants in Arizona

    LUKEVILLE, Ariz. (AP) — An underage pregnant girl, a toddler and over a dozen youths were among a group of 57 Central American immigrants who were abandoned in the middle of the desert by their smugglers and rescued by U.S. Border Patrol agents late last week.
    The Border Patrol said it rescued and then arrested members of the group near the Arizona-Mexico border on Friday after someone called Mexican authorities for help.
    It says some of the immigrants were in distress in the 108-degree weather, including a young pregnant girl who was sent to a hospital.


    The group included 21 adults and 36 minors, many who were traveling without a parent or relative.
    “Regardless of the unscrupulous and ill regard for human life attitude by smugglers, Border Patrol Agents work tirelessly to ensure not only the safety and security of our nation but also the safety of those who they come in contact with,” the agency’s Tucson Sector said in a statement.

    If we had a wall, with a moat and sharks, maybe they would not try to sneak across?

    So, the young pregnant girl has her anchor baby on this side of the border and... automatic citizen.

    Mexico called for help, but, didn't try to rescue them, instead, they left it to us....they, didn't want them, now, we're stuck with them.

    Hey, stupid people, it gets frickin HOT in the Arizona desert.... cross at your own risk.

    That'll also work! As far as I'm concerned, nothing is too intense when speaking of illegals.

    BP needed some good press.Now time to go Coyote hunting. But which agency would be responsible for that? BP? INS? ICE? DHS? I'll bet this rescue broke some regulation involving the wrong agency doing the rescue or God forbid sharing the info with related agencies.
