Four illegal immigrants arrested in the Yuma area Tuesday and Wednesday turned out to be previously convicted felons who had been arrested a combined total of 40 times, the Border Patrol said.

Three of the four were arrested about 11 p.m. Tuesday after they were seen by a Border Patrol camera operator cross the Colorado River from Mexico, the patrol said in a news release.

Border Patrol agents arrested the three and brought them to the patrol station, where agents discovered that all three had previously been deported on multiple occasions from the United States.

One had been deported four times and had three prior convictions for possession of narcotics, the patrol said.

Another of the aliens had been deported twice and had prior convictions for possession of a controlled substance, corporal injury to a spouse, obstructing a peace officer, driving under the influence and possession of a dangerous weapon, the patrol said.

The third alien, deported one time previously, had been previously convicted of attempted robbery, carrying a concealed firearm, driving under the influence and possession of narcotics for sale, the patrol said.

The fourth alien was arrested about 4 a.m. Wednesday by agents at the scene of a traffic near Avenue H-1/2 and County 19th Street, the patrol said.

He had been previously deported from the United States and had been convicted of attempted possession of dangerous drugs for sale.

As I have stated on countless occasions all these raids and enforcement actions will come to a screeching halt under Obama. He and Congress sees these individuals as model citizens only for cheap labor and more votes who will be rewarded with immediate amnesty, instant citizenship and will be placed ahead of the line comprised of those who respected our laws, borders and sovereignty by legally applying to become a part of the American fabric. Obama supported decriminalizing identity theft (only for illegal aliens) through his support of S-2611 (Comprehensive Immigration Reform) which also included amnesty for MS-13 gangsters, child molesters, rapists, murderers, drug dealers (what do you expect from an avowed drug user) and other illegal alien criminals. He and Congress will grant amnesty to the rest of the third world's criminals who with Obama and Congress don't care about the safety, security, welfare and well being of the American. people

retiredairforce, I totally disagree with you. It will not come to a screeching halt. This incident of the arrest happened in AZ and these guys are convicted felons. Janet Napolitano knows this happens and she doesn't want them in her state or any other state.

How did they get through again? We need to make the border more secure. They did a good job by catching these guys, but they need to prevent their entry or keep them in our prisons for much longer periods of time!
