SAN DIEGO -- 10News uncovered the deserted island and the risky operation that is making it possible for illegal immigrants to sneak into San Diego.

Abandoned fishing pangas have become a common sight on San Diego beaches. Very rarely are the passengers found, since they are illegal immigrants who are smuggled into the United States in the dark of night.

Illegal border crossings are down, according to the Department of Homeland Security. However, the number of immigrants using the sea to illegally enter the United States in panga boats is up.


10News rode along with a group called the Desert Angels to know more about the route immigrants take.

The Angels told 10News immigrant smugglers use an island, known as "Smuggle Island" in the northern part of Mexico's Coronado Islands in an attempt to throw off U.S. tracking techniques.

Some immigrants are temporarily dropped off at the island. However, when the weather is bad or when the U.S. Coast Guard is searching for illegal immigrants, the immigrants are sometimes left behind for days without food or water.

"Two months ago, before we left the food, we found five people that [were] stuck in that place," said Rafael Hernandez of the Desert Angels. "No one picked them up... [They said] they [were] left behind... [and] abandoned."

Hernandez and the Desert Angels said they have no political agenda but exist to ensure that human beings do not die because they are without food or water. They leave supplies on immigrant trails in the desert and on the uninhabitable island.

As Hernandez and his partner Ricardo Villegas unloaded the food and water, they found an empty water bottle, which is evidence that the Angels' last drop-off served its purpose.

The Angels worked quickly because they have crossed paths in the past with drug traffickers who also used the islands.

When they finished dropping off the food and water, the Desert Angels searched the island for abandoned immigrants who may be hiding and in need of medical care.

No immigrants were found, but the Angels found a compass at the top of a hill, which could mean the island was used recently.

Less than 30 minutes after arriving at the island, the Desert Angels finished their work and headed back.

"If we bring food and water for them and they use it, then that means we are doing something good for them," said Villegas. "We feel good."

Why Hernandez do you leave them on the island? Why not pick up your human being aliens and bring them to your home and feed and support them.You talk like these humans are Animals and the island is your zoo,throw them some food and water and run before you get hurt.
I think you need to worry about the homeless in our country why not give them food and water they die everyday in our streets. Or are these people not human?
Some of these homeless is due to the fact that the illegals have taken their jobs but hey keep helping them poor poor illegals!
Go take a drive and look at all the Black and whites that are living on the streets they have babies and kids and they are our own Americans..Oh wait that's right not too many Mexicans living in the streets they work the streets and drive drunk on our streets then go home to that nice warm home with 20 other family members with the smell of Mexican food floating in the air....
Because of people like you who are handing the illegals all the info they need to lie cheat steal from our country,because that's how they roll in Mexico!
After my visit to jack in the box i must say they are well feed and rolling in the dough and just popping out babies like its a freaking free for all!!!

Now mister brave man get back to that island and take it like a real illegal, sit and wait for your orders on when the drugs will be brought back to that island along with picking them up and dumping them off in the USA to take us for everything we have worked and fought for.

I'm sure that the drug runners will let you sell some. And by the way they weren't abandoned they were waiting and you the idiot that you are say that its working they left the water bottles LOL does that tell you something your just another sucker. And tell them to clean up before they leave!!! This is my home not theirs!!

They seemed pretty pleased with their "aiding and abetting" I say ,send Sheriff Arpaio to the island
