SAN DIEGO —
Border Patrol agents have arrested 49 alleged illegal immigrants who were discovered being smuggled into the U.S. inside the tank of a water truck.

Border Patrol officials say the people were discovered Friday after an agent spotted the water truck in an area near San Diego known as "Smuggler's Gulch."

Spokesman Daryl Reed says agents chased the truck on Interstate 5 before the driver pulled over and ran off. The man was arrested later. His name has not been released.

Reed says some of the people inside the tank were suffering dehydration.

With all the illegal aliens caught being smuggled into the US in trucks, I' wondering when will mexico run out of trucks??

miguelina. Mexico will never run out of trucks since we are building the NAFTA superhighway from Mexico to Canada, and giving Mexico $1.4 billion in aid to fight drugs cartels. What better than to take the drug cartels, put them in tanker trucks and ship them to the US? It would be a great way to use all the foreign we give them!

Personally, I would have preferred a truck load of gasoline.
