SAN DIEGO — (AP) — A small boat believed to be carrying migrants capsized early Monday off San Diego's coast and left three people dead and four injured, while U.S. Coast Guard crews were searching for nine others, officials said.

U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Chris Sappey said it was unclear where the boat was coming from before it flipped shortly after sunrise about 35 miles (56 kilometers) north of the Mexico border. He described the vessel as a panga, single or twin-engine open fishing boats commonly used by smugglers.

“They were not tourists,” Sappey said. “They are believed to be migrants.”

Knowing the radical dems, they will blame the Coast Guard.

They’re only “missing” if you’re looking for them.

They had 16 people on board that beater boat? The survivors need to get at least 3 years for stupidity. Whoever put that cruise together needs the death penalty.

“They were not tourists,” Sappey said. “They are believed to be migrants illegal aliens.”

Let me guess. Democrats in Congress are now planning on a 4-day Carnival Cruise out of Catalina to help look for the 9 missing voters.

With that many people in that boat, I’m surprised there were any survivors at all-not a smart crew...

All these years later and the media is still calling these illegal border jumpers, “migrants”? Nobody is buying their BS anymore but they think we are. Delusional idiots
