Two brothers attempted to trick officers at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge on Wednesday with fraudulent border crossing cards.

Officers weren’t fooled.

They arrested the brothers — a 33-year-old man and a 44-year-old man — from San Luis Potosi, according to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

“Whether someone attempts to impersonate another person by presenting legitimate travel documents or birth certificates or presents a document that has been altered to meet their needs, (Customs and Border Protection) will arrest those violators for violation of U.S. immigration law,” said Port Director Efrain Solis Jr., who manages the Hidalgo, Pharr and Anzalduas border crossings.

Customs and Border Protection didn’t name the brothers.

Officers encountered a similar situation at the Hidalgo-Reynosa bridge last week, when a 36-year-old man and his 32-year-old wife from Veracruz presented fraudulent documents, according to the news release.

All well and good. I do not see how this can be so exciting though, getting 11,000,000 aliens out would be exciting. That should be a priority. Those are the ones being turned loose with infectious diseases including TB, driving drunk through restaurant's walls, injuring and killing Americans.

Pardon me, I momentarily forgot that our government does not recognize priorities!
