Agents Rescue 17 Illegal Aliens Lost in the Bombing Range

Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents rescued 17 illegal aliens after they crossed into the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range east of San Luis and became lost Monday night.

At approximately 10:10 p.m., emergency services in Mexico relayed a phone call to the Yuma Sector Operations Center from a group lost in the desert. The caller reported that the group was comprised of eight adults and nine juveniles. Yuma Station agents deployed to the area in search of the 17 lost individuals.

At 11:30 p.m., agents located the illegal aliens approximately 30 miles east of San Luis within the bombing range area of operations. The individuals were found to be in good health and did not require medical attention. The group was then transported to Yuma Station where they received food, water, and access to care.

“This particular area is especially dangerous for illegal border crossers due to the remoteness of the location,” said Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Anthony J. Porvaznik. “In addition to the complete lack of adequate infrastructure to stop this occurrence, illegal aliens must contend with the summer heat and the dangers of military training in the area.”

The individuals were processed for immigration violations.

Copy that. Where in the handbook would it say to “expect illegal alien trespassers at any given time”?

Perhaps because the actual death penalty so many call for really belongs to the politicians who keep inviting them to “take the chance”...
