SELLS - — Thirty illegal entrants were found in a vehicle that had been made up to look like a U.S. Border Patrol transport van, authorities said.

The vehicle was seized Wednesday near San Miguel on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation about 70 miles southwest of Tucson.

The van had horizontal green stripes along the sides, Border Patrol emblems on its doors and the words “Border Patrol” written across the rear. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Casa Grande station came in contact with the van while responding to activity in the area.

After seeing the agents, the driver turned the van around and tried to return to Mexico.

Authorities said the male driver abandoned the van about 100 yards from the border and sprinted into Mexico, leaving behind the 30 illegal immigrants.

All 30 were taken to the law-enforcement center on the reservation and processed for illegally entering the United States

Half of them will return to the states by weeks end

I know it's hard to see any good from this, but at least take some satisfaction in the fact that they are processing the illegals. This will make them ineligible for legal re-entry for 10 years. Also, Lord forbid, should an amnesty be approved - we now know of at least 30 illegals that won't be taking advantage of it! Hey, I know it's not much, but at least it's something.

Yep. Just like standing in a rushing stream with a bucket. You throw a bucket full back upstream so, what? you can try to catch the same exact water again? In the meantime how much goes by? Without a dam, there is still a flood. It only differs in the amount of destruction it does.
