Driver of semi-trailer with 70 undocumented migrants arrested

DULZURA – A truck driver was arrested yesterday after U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered he was hauling 70 undocumented migrants in the back of a semi-trailer specially designed for human smuggling, authorities said.
The arrest came after the driver tried crossing a Border Patrol checkpoint near Tecate.
The trailer was equipped with a large freezer chest, iced drinks, fans and a trap door in the floor to discreetly load and unload drugs or people, the Border Patrol said.
Agents received an anonymous call at 4:30 p.m. reporting a large group of people were being loaded into a semi-trailer in a Tecate trucking lot near the port of entry.
About two hours later, agents spotted a tractor-trailer matching the caller's description trying to cross the Border Patrol checkpoint on state Route 94.
The driver appeared nervous and was sent to a secondary inspection area, where he allowed agents to search his trailer, the Border Patrol said.
Inside, agents found 70 people hiding behind a wall of shredded cardboard.
The undocumented migrants were taken into custody and processed at a nearby station.
The driver, whose name was not released, was arrested on suspicion of alien smuggling.

And they want to allow mexican truckers complete access to our nation? Can you imagine the bedlam? I'm assuming this driver was American, and I can't imagine mexican drivers would have any more scruples or concern for breaking the law in our country than one of our own.

I will second that one....and this president wants truckers
from Mexico? Right, I suppose that will help support the
invasion that is already happening. Bring 'em by the truck
loads...could it get any easier?
