Nearly 200 illegal immigrants found in drop house

(Phoenix-AP) -- It's getting to be a weekly occurrence. A drop house discovered in the Phoenix area crammed with illegal immigrants.

Phoenix police today discovered nearly 200 illegal immigrants inside an upscale property Wednesday.

About 100 to 150 people were inside the south Phoenix home and an additional 20 to 30 in a guest house on the same property, said Phoenix police Detective Tony Morales. Up to 50 additional people fled the scene.

The group in the drop houses included men, women, teenagers, a child, and a pregnant woman who was taken to a hospital as a precaution, Morales said.

Officers went to the home about 7:15 a.m. after getting a call from a neighbor about suspicious activity. The caller reported vehicles and large groups of people going in the house and said it happened every Wednesday, Morales said.

Trash was littered inside the drop house and the stench of urine and feces permeated, he said. No food or furniture were found inside the home, which is surrounded by a tall block fence.

Offices also discovered at least five passenger vans on the property, some with California plates, Morales said.

Phoenix police have discovered at least six drop houses in the last two weeks, he said.

"Once again it shows the magnitude of the problem," Morales said. "These are the ones that we're finding. Thankfully, citizens are calling police."

Drop houses get the name because illegal immigrants are dropped off there by smugglers to await transportation.

Open borders, 500b budget deficit, 500b trade deficit, new entitlements, federal take over of education, huge job losses, etc. He is making Clinton look good.

Mr Bush is destroying the GOP and shattering the conservative base. If Kerry wins Bush has no one to blame but himself. But yall must think I am crazy if you want me to vote for bigger government, open borders and the elimination of the American middle class. That I ain't gonna do.

[FairOpinion]

And I bet you didn't vote for Bush and wouldn't vote for Bush, if he walked on water and elminated the deficit and all illegal aliens with one twitch of his nose.

Go, vote for Kerry, but please don't tell us you are a conservative.

They are living the way Americans refuse to live. Somebody had to say it.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I see -- so you want to get rid of Bush, so someone else can be president, who will do even less about illegal immigration

How could that idiot do less when nothing is being done now?

[FairOpinion]

You have a choice: Bush or Kerry.

If you are against Bush, you are FOR Kerry.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Idiot, meaning Kerry.

[jpsb]

I voted for Bush 1 twiced, I voted for Bush 2 twice for gov and once for pres. I have never voted for a Bush in a primary.

[jpsb]

I will not EVER vote for Kerry. I might vote for Bush.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Wouldn't that be something if Kerry's name was Harry?

[Joe Hadenuf]

In other words, vote yes on no.

I'm disappointed also, but I don't regret voting for him, because of the way he's handled foreign policy since 911 (that and Al Gore is a dufus). I'm hoping for the best and that conservatives will keep the pressure on him to straighten up on the domestic front. It's too bad they gave him a free pass for the first three years.

We must have a bounty on these criminals.

Bounties for misdemeanors? Ugh.

As long as you vote for Bush for November and encourage others to do the same.

Everyone can see these 50-50 polls. The election is going to be close, and as Alan Keyes had said, this is a time to focus on what's important, and re-elect Bush.

"I wouldn't want to give the impression that I don't have other problems with this administration on some areas where I think that the president has fallen short of the kinds of things that I really think are needed in some areas.

But I also wouldn't want to give the impression that I think that anything can be more decisive for the American people right now than the question of our national survival in the face of the most insidious threat this nation has ever faced.

In the face of that, I think a lot of us are going to be putting our other issues behind those issues that have to do with the survival of this nation in wartime."

Ain't going to work. Besides, you'll no longer have a nose after the process, having cut it off to spite your face. I suggest Conservatives do it the Liberal way......PROTEST!

It's not un-American to protest the White House. It doesn't mean we hate GW, but that we ARE pressing him to do what we want.

There is an important distinction between raising your voice to protest the government's lack of action in a specific area and voting for the opposition, which will do even less.

Okay, how about a report on what will happen to the 200 illegals found.

Oh yeah, they'll just be let go to be caught again.

I'm starting to think this is a Pokeman game!

[Travis McGee]

New neighbors?

[PRND21]

Send the message, send them all to a certain ranch in Texas.

200 arrests. Talk about unappeasable.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Didn't I tell you not to post to me? Go away, race baiter.

[FairOpinion]

This is an ELECTION YEAR.

If you attack Bush, you are helping Kerry.

Very simple.

We must have a bounty on these criminals.

Dead or alive?
