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.
Where they'll be handed their social security checks, I presume....
someone should go pick them up and drive them to the crawford ranch and let them trample W's property!!!!!!!
do they call burglars...."entrants" ??????????
Nope,... those are economically deprived/oppresed citizens. < / PC Speak < / SARC
"The illegal entrants were taken to the Nogales processing center, Rodriguez said."
And there they were given temporary Green Cards and bus tickets to Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and Denver.
They don't want to be caught in Phoenix. That's Maricopa County and Sheriff Joe Aripio's turf. Illegals end up in his tent jail wearing pink underwear, eating green baloney/stale bread working on a chain gang.
Yeah, I LOVE Sheriff Joe.
This article is reason enough why just a border fence is not the only way to stop the flow of illegals. A wall (fence) is vitally important, but enforcement of employment laws is equally important. We have 30-40 million vistors to this country every year. Any number of them could stay and work if they wanted.
Comments like yours are un-called for.......

Their true goal was to be a part of the McCain for President campaign.
I know, I live in Phoenix :o)
Can you get him to convince the Sheriffs in Cochise, Pima, and Santa Cruz to do the same?
No, the people of those counties have to convince their sheriffs. Probably by making Sheriff Joe into a hero and constantly asking their sheriffs why they aren't as brave and willing to protect their people.
