BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Two men visiting Alabama to protest the state's tough new law on illegal immigration walked into a U.S. Border Patrol office and said they were in the country illegally, resulting in their arrest. They remain in federal custody more than two weeks later awaiting deportation proceedings.
Border Patrol officials said they were only doing their job in arresting Isaac Barrera, 20, and Jonathan Perez, 24, Mexican men who lived in California before coming to Alabama to demonstrate against the state law.

Now they get a free trip home. Good planning, I guess, with the high cost of fuel.
Pretty upiddy for illegals, imo.
They are retarded obviously.
Hey, I agree, so long as the campaign is called "SEND Isaac and Jonathan Home for the Holidays"
Wait till immigration finds out that they’re not really illegals...I say this is a money grab.
IF the Border Patrol or ICE does what it is SUPPOSE to do, these critters in theory have waxed their chance to get AMNESTY, and when they go back to apply for legal entry will get NIXED. At least for decades that was the policy, if you had been arrested and caught, you were black listed and couldn’t apply again for a visa for entry.
Hasta la vista.
We need to allow the states to deport. We also need to allow states to contract to deport for other states. Texas and Arkansas would be great locations for deportation camps and they could charge a fee to states who send them captured illegals. Even the incompetent, ineffective federal government could send illegals to them for deportation.
Why would anybody want to be a U.S. Border Patrol Agent? Too many powerful enemies on both sides of the border.
I moved here 5 years ago and regret not doing it sooner.
I love it here.
I put out a new American flag yesterday and a neighbor thanked me.
Refreshing.
Mexican Nationals crawling out of the sewer some call Mexico and telling US that they want to turn America into a sewer like the one they crawled out of. They should be taken out and shot. I dare ANY American to go to Mexico and try this crap. Make sure you complete a will before you go.
Sounds almost apologetic.
Gotta love it.
Alabama immigration law BUMP!!
Alamaba: just doing what the Feds won’t do.
Sounds like the beginning of a joke.
And here's the punchline:
They remain in federal custody more than two weeks later awaiting deportation proceedings.
LOL!
