Border Patrol agents discovered 91 illegal entrants who had been smuggled into the country in the back of a panel truck Thursday night southwest of Sonoita, an official said Friday.
The Border Patrol received a call around 10 p.m. from someone concerned about possible illegal activity, said Jesus Rodriguez, a spokesman for the agency's Tucson Sector. The caller suspected the truck was picking up illegal entrants.
When Border Patrol agents from Nogales and Sonoita pulled the truck over on Arizona 82 around Milepost 26, about 35 miles south of Tucson. the driver got out and ran into the brush, Rodriguez said.
Inside the truck, agents found the 91 illegal entrants, most of them from Mexico and some from Central America, he said. The driver of the truck was not found.
The illegal entrants were taken to the Nogales processing center, Rodriguez said.

91 in a panel truck? Is that a new record for panel truck-stuffing?

Illegal, adjective; 1) Prohibited by law. 2) Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
Entrant, noun; One that enters, especially one that enters a competition.
Hmmm, by the true definitions, I assume these 91 'illegal entrants' were either trying to get on American Idol or maybe the Arizona Cardinals.

Say, that's a good graphic. I keep hearing "you can't deport 'em!" And I keep thinking, remove the incentives, apply some penalties, and they'll deport themselves. Seems simple to simple old me.
