An illegal migrant who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years is facing deportation after making a wrong turn into a California military facility.
Ana Camero, 64, took a different route home from her dishwasher job at a La Jolla restaurant on April 7.
After stopping at a gas station, she mistakenly drove onto the Marine Corps Depot in San Diego where she was asked for proper identification, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Unable to provide ID, military officials called Border Patrol and the Mexican native was detained.
'If the individual cannot or does not provide the required identification, the appropriate federal authorities — including U.S. Customs and Border Protection — are notified,' a spokesperson for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot told the Los Angeles Times.
'This protocol applies regardless of whether the individual claims the entry was accidental. As a federal installation, we are mandated to uphold all applicable federal statutes and laws.'
Border Patrol told the outlet that agents may provide assistance to military installations when requested.
'During the course of their assistance and duties, Border Patrol agents may take custody of any individual found present in the United States in violation of applicable federal law and process them accordingly,' the agency said.

Team Trump isn’t serious unless they’re systematically running through landscapers, hotel housekeepers, grape pickers, dairy farm workers, meat-packing plants, restaurant dishcleaning, etc., etc.
That's an understatement!
Have you ever been strip-searched at the airport? As a "routine security measure?"

Didn’t know about that one. The other was just a dude on the same road.
I worked with guy from El Paso, and he told me that there is (was?) this badly designed turn off to Mexico and there was no way to turn around. You had to make the U turn in Mexico!
So quite a lot of people ended up unwillingly in Mexico!
Probably several ended up in Mexican jail!!!
My info is like 10 years old, maybe they fixed it?!
Now that I think about, I remember learning that bases and posts installed barriers to stop car bombers from getting a straight path to breach their gates. I guess that came with a change of protocols.
Yeah, those federales are pretty strict when it comes to enforcing their immigration laws - at least when someone is headed south.
