Border Patrol agents apprehended 105 illegal immigrants Wednesday in the Baboquivari Mountains southwest of Tucson.

At 6:30 a.m., agents using a mobile surveillance system spotted what appeared to be three groups of illegal border crossers moving up into the Baboquivari Mountains close to the U.S.-Mexico border, said Border Patrol spokesman David Jimarez.

Agents called for help from a Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine helicopter. When the helicopter spotted the groups, they bunched together into one group and by 11 a.m. agents had apprehended them. They were a mix of illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America, he said.

They were taken to the Tucson station to be fingerprinted and set up for return to their home countries.

Through the first six months of fiscal year 2010, agents in the Tucson Sector had made 119,000 apprehensions, up from the 112,000 they had made at the same time last year, Jimarez said.

Yeah and Nappy claims the border is "secure".

They'll keep coming as long as their relatives here tell them to hurry up before amnesty gets passed. NO amnesty, enforce the laws, let them know and they will not come.

Send this story to the Republican Senatorial "targets" I just sent the "67 people in a Uhaul Truck story" off this afternoon.

do not release, detain, charge them and throw them in jail for at least 9 months

So how secure is the border?

Coordination Along the Border Yields Large Apprehension

(Wednesday, April 28, 2010)

Tucson, Ariz. – Coordination efforts between U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Casa Grande and Tucson Stations, along with a helicopter crew from the Office of Air Marine, resulted in the apprehension of 105 illegal aliens Wednesday in southern Arizona.

Agents assigned to the Casa Grande Station, operating a Mobile Surveillance System, spotted three groups of suspected illegal aliens crossing into the Tucson Station’s area of responsibility. Tucson agents and the OAM crew responded to the area and spent several hours rounding up the groups so they could be transported for processing.

All subjects were taken to the Tucson Station for processing and to be entered into the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System.

Border Patrol agents arrested 105 illegal aliens in three groups in southern Arizona Wednesday.

The Border Patrol continues to expand operational control of the border by collaborating with Customs and Border Protection partners, such as OAM, and effectively deploying the right resources. Technology such as the MSS helps the Border Patrol gain greater situational awareness along the border and aids in the detection, identification and apprehension of individuals who may pose a threat to national security. IAFIS enables the Border Patrol to rapidly identify criminal aliens and process them accordingly.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

It is all over the MSM that amnesty is back on the table.

Mexicans know this.

They are coming by the droves BECAUSE of the promise of amnesty.

And that is the sole reason Obummer will NOT secure the border.

He is looking for more voters because more than half the illegals already here CANNOT qualify for amnesty.
