SAN YSIDRO, Calif. -- U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested a U.S. man Tuesday morning after they say he tried to smuggle three migrants into the country hidden in the seats of his vehicle.
CBP officers said they encountered the driver, a 33-year-old resident of Rosarito, Mexico, as he entered the port at about 5 a.m. driving a GMC Vendura van.
According to authorities, the driver stated he was a citizen of the United States and presented a valid California identification and birth certificate to the officer.
The primary officer said the driver has a nervous demeanor. The officer referred the vehicle and occupant to a secondary lot for a more in-depth examination.
In the secondary lot, CBP officers discovered three undocumented migrants sewn into three seats of the conversion van, including the driver’s seat. CBP officers said they carefully extracted two men and a woman from inside the seats.

I would give the guy some kind of a plea bargain in exchange to information about how many other folks are using this tactic.I am sure he is not the first one to have thought of this.

I am sure he is not the first one to have thought of this.
I read about a woman escaping East Germany that way back in the 60s.

"Undocumented Migrants"? Phew..at least they weren't "illegals" (PC barf).
They were only sewn into the upholstery of a car no American would be willing to be sewn into I'm sure also.

But I thought Mexicans weren't soft and cushy like Americans.
Wouldn't they make lousy upholstery? ;-)

So you want the government to shoot Mexicans who cross the border illegally? We should have a stronger border but we don't need a reverse version of the East German border. We don't need death squads, thank you.

That car upholstery was one fine tuck and roll job.
