As a resident of San Diego you know that the Border Patrol works the airports near the border, McAllen, El Paso, San Diego etc.
This guy knows it to and wanted to be arrested. Now we get to watch the ensuing media hysteria.
I expect the Border Patrol to be assigned "other duties" away from the airport soon. This guy will be released and become a contributing personality on MSNBC.
he’s been released with a notice to appear before an immigration judge:
