288 undocumented immigrants caught

Associated Press

DEMING -- Border Patrol agents and New Mexico state police caught 288 undocumented immigrants in a joint 12-hour operation in Hidalgo and Luna counties.

The operation, conducted last week by 25 Border Patrol agents and 30 state police officers, concentrated on traffic checkpoints and rest areas on Interstate 10 between Deming and Lordsburg, said Doug Mosier, a Border Patrol spokesman in El Paso.

"We tried to carry out a random, tactical operation so that we stayed one step ahead of smugglers and undocumented individuals in the area," Mosier said.

The blitz resulted in 159 apprehensions in the Deming area and 129 in Lordsburg area.

State police were placed at the westbound I-10 port of entry near Lordsburg. Border Patrol agents monitored rest areas near Deming.

Nine Lordsburg arrests will be turned over to the U.S. attorney for criminal prosecution, including three people with previous felony convictions, Mosier said.

Twelve vehicles were seized during the blitz. Immigrants without prior arrests were returned to Mexico.

Mosier said apprehensions of undocumented immigrants in the area are up 30 percent -- 4,043 apprehensions in March compared with 3,740 at the same time last year.

"They are averaging 150 to 175 apprehensions per day in the Deming area," Mosier said.

He said the increase in Southern New Mexico was not directly linked to stepped-up Border Patrol enforcement in Arizona.

"I think the rise is due to just increased enforcement efforts in New Mexico, not only with personnel but technology and infrastructure," Mosier said.

I wouldn't have called them 'undocumented'. Why don't they call them what they are? I l l e g a l ?

Because they are afraid that the mighty Vicente Fox and his band of Aztlan thugs will annoy them to death with screams of vigilante and migrant hunter and site them for human rights abuses.

Because the word "illegal" is alien to them, Butterbean.

Baaa hahahahhaahahaha!

Only a few million more to go.

The legal term for a non-US citizen who is in this country
without the proper documentation as referred to in the
immigration law as a "illegal alien."
There is no mention in the statutes of "undocumented alien,"
or any other politically correct term.
I make sure that I point this out to the open border nitwits.

It is nice to hear that BP is thinking ahead, and looking over different "lanes", other than the Arizona valley route. With MMP going on, the illegals and drug trafficers are now in larger concentrations east and west of where will be will.


Get to work BP Good job, and catch as many as you can!!

H.

The BP and ICE could round up thousands a day if Bush would just untie their hands.

Agreed, but that would make his friend south of the border "mucho caliente."
