Kor37 9 Posted February 21, 2007 40 Immigrants Found in Texas TrailerAP HARLINGEN, Texas (Feb. 20) - Forty Brazilian immigrants were found loaded inside a stifling tractor-trailer about 75 miles north of the Mexican border, authorities said. No injuries were reported. Border Patrol agents discovered the immigrants Saturday at a highway checkpoint in Falfurrias, officials said. A patrol dog alerted agents to the scent of people. "As soon as those agents opened the back of the trailer, they could just feel the heat coming from inside," said Border Patrol spokesman Oscar Saldana. The driver, a U.S. citizen, was charged with smuggling, but his identity was being withheld. The immigrants - including men, women and children - are being processed for deportation, officials said. The discovery comes less than a month after a jury sentenced truck driver Tyrone Williams to life in prison for a May 2003 smuggling attempt in which 19 immigrants died in his trailer. Why can't the left-wing media get it right? They did NOT find 40 immigrants. They found 40 illegal aliens. 40 criminals. THATS what they found. A legal immigrant doesn't enter the country hiding in the back of a truck! end of rant... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no way that their economy should be that bad. The only reason it is is because of the corrupt government. Edited February 21, 2007 by Kor37 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
