SAN ANTONIO - Border Patrol agents busted a large group of immigrants entering the country illegally as they were walking across a West Texas ranch Thursday morning.

Agents working the area near Comstock north of Del Rio spotted footprints and followed the trail.

Border Patrol said agents followed the trail about 30 minutes before finding a large group of people.

They then called in the agency's helicopter unit.



Those agents searched from the air and located more immigrants.

In all, Border Patrol rounded up 73 people.

They walked all those apprehended to waiting vehicles for transport to the Border Patrol processing station in Comstock.
