The following is a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection:

TUCSON, Ariz. – In 10 separate incidents over the weekend, Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents rescued a total of 25 individuals suffering from varying states of dehydration. Twenty-three individuals were Mexican nationals and two were Guatemalan citizens who were all illegally present in the United States.

In an incident on Friday, agents from the Tucson Sector Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit (BORSTAR) responded to an emergency call from four illegal aliens in distress near Big Fields, Ariz. When agents arrived on scene, they discovered a 33-year-old Mexican man going in and out of consciousness that was stabilized and transported to a local hospital for treatment. BORSTAR agents treated the other three Mexican males at the scene for dehydration before taking them into custody and transporting them for processing.

In an incident on Saturday, a citizen called to report an illegal alien who appeared to be in distress. A Casa Grande agent trained as an emergency medical technician (EMT) responded and encountered a 27-year-old Guatemalan man suffering from severe dehydration. The man was stabilized and transported to a hospital for treatment.

As the temperatures rise, the Border Patrol is stressing the hazards faced when attempting to cross the Sonoran Desert through its dangerous conditions along with the legal consequences faced upon apprehension. Smugglers continue to put lives in danger by leading them through the harsh desert terrain, often abandoning them when they are physically unable to continue. In addition, those who cross illegally face legal consequences.

Since launching the Southwest Border Initiative in March 2009, the Department of Homeland Security has made significant investments towards establishing a secure and safe border environment and improving the quality of life throughout the communities in the state of Arizona.

The Border Patrol welcomes assistance from the community. Report suspicious activity by calling toll free 1-877-872-7435. All calls will be answered and will remain anonymous.

Before they can be sent home they have to be fingerprinted, photographed, DNA sample taken and then they have to be run through the system to see if they have any wants or warrants anywhere, or prior immigration violations.
If they aren't wanted and they agree to voluntarily return home they are bused to the border and deported.
Under current laws if they request a court hearing they have to be taken before and immigration judge and given an immigration hearing. Because of the backup they might be locked up for months before they get before a judge.
