LA JOYA - Police turned 17 undocumented immigrants believed to be from China over to officals from the U.S. Border Patrol earlier today.
Officers responded to a call just after 8 a.m. about reported suspicious activity near the corner of Ebony Street and Palm Avenue, just blocks south of U.S. Highway 83, police spokesman Officer Joe Cantu said.
When they arrived, police found 15 people believed to be from China who could not speak English nor Spanish, Cantu said.
There were 10 men and five women crowded inside a red Chevrolet Suburban, he said. They appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s, he said.
A witness told police that six others fled the scene before officers arrived. About 11 a.m., a La Joya Police officer spotted two other Asian men walking along the highway, buying a watermelon, Cantu said. Those men were also taken into custody, he said.
All 17 immigrants were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol for processing, Cantu said.
"These people were in bad shape," Cantu said. "They just looked exhausted."

Just in case your neurons are scrambled.
You'll need more than a flame suit if you keep using these absurd OBL analogies and analysis.
So? What's your point.
There's Millions & Millions of people who live in a "murderous totalitarian regime". And 'prolly' close to a BILLION world-wide who live in abject poverty - by any standard. Are we supposed to just say, "Come On In"?
THAT, in case you can't guess, is utterly preposterous.
