DULZURA – A truck driver was arrested yesterday after U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered he was hauling 70 undocumented migrants in the back of a semi-trailer specially designed for human smuggling, authorities said.
The arrest came after the driver tried crossing a Border Patrol checkpoint near Tecate.
The trailer was equipped with a large freezer chest, iced drinks, fans and a trap door in the floor to discreetly load and unload drugs or people, the Border Patrol said.
Agents received an anonymous call at 4:30 p.m. reporting a large group of people were being loaded into a semi-trailer in a Tecate trucking lot near the port of entry.
About two hours later, agents spotted a tractor-trailer matching the caller's description trying to cross the Border Patrol checkpoint on state Route 94.
The driver appeared nervous and was sent to a secondary inspection area, where he allowed agents to search his trailer, the Border Patrol said.
Inside, agents found 70 people hiding behind a wall of shredded cardboard.
The undocumented migrants were taken into custody and processed at a nearby station.
The driver, whose name was not released, was arrested on suspicion of alien smuggling.
Dummy! He was supposed to be on the North American Prosperity Partnership highway
bush is deeply saddened.
What? No TV?
Expect much more of this when Mexican trucks are allowed to cross the border unrestricted, with no inspection until they arrive in Kansas. (Within a month, if GW has his way)
Wonder if they will really deport them back; or have they already said go ahead into America; the land of freedom and opportunity to all but Americans?
“Undocumented Migrants” sounds like they just left their green cards in their other pants.
In other news the “undocumented migrants” were being transported to RNC headquarters for “documenting” before being given a list of available free government services including education and health care. On a related note, congress passes massive tax increase and Democrats win by record margins.
Just deliver them to Crawford Texas.

“Undocumented migrants”? What are they, locusts? Why is it so hard for the word “ILLEGAL” to be used anymore? I`ll have to remember this next time a cop pulls me over for making an illegal turn. “Sorry officer for that undocumented movement.”
Fixed.
I guess that means the 4 "Mohammad's" who take turns driving a rig (all with the same name and drivers license) are still roving all over the nation.
One of my boys is a truck driver. You'd be surprised what he tells me is on the road, especially in the Buffalo/Ontario area. They can not only drive, they can't speak English either. How they get through customs and weigh stations is a testament to what homeland security ISN'T doing.
Suspicion? LOL.
Seventy Illegals X $2,000 each = $140,000. Not too shabby, if he didn't get caught!

A sample of what will be taking place bi-hourly on the NAFTA highway! Thank you, Mr. Presidente!
Can’t not drive
With cameras are rolling, just in time for the evening news. Tell those scumbag liars, in front of the cameras, that precisely the same thing has gone on at least 365 days per year since 1986!
AMNESTY NO, AMERICA FOR LEGAL AMERICANS YES.
Just importing the slave workers the rest of us won’t import.
On the (bright?) side, when the economy collapses from the burden of the welfare nation we are rapidly becoming, and-non tax paying ‘workers’ who do jobs Americans don’t want to do, or rather, won’t do for below a living wage,
perhaps the NAFTA highway won’t have much traffic on it, except for drug runners speeding down the road, funded by Jihadi’s and driving their company Firrari’s.
