Police capture 15 illegal immigrants released off Palm Beach

A smuggling boat dropped off 15 illegal immigrants in the shallow water off Palm Beach, and they went on a midnight run across the island today, officials said.
But by this morning, police believe they caught everyone who swam to shore, said police spokeswoman Janet Kinsella.
The U.S. Border Patrol took 12 Haitians and three Peruvians into custody, she said.
They will all face deportation hearings.
Kinsella said the detainees indicated there were 15 people on the boat, leading investigators to believe no one was able to get away.
Police were first alerted to the incident when an officer spotted a woman walking westbound on the Southern Boulevard causeway at 11:45 p.m. wearing wet, sandy clothing.
Police set up a perimeter and stopped taxis - some carrying immigrants - from leaving the island. One taxi driver helped police translate Creole on the scene, Kinsella said.
One man made it across the bridge to the 7-Eleven and was taken into custody while he tried to make a call from the pay phone.I stay current on Americans for Legal Immigration PAC's fight to Secure Our Border and Send Illegals Home via E-mail Alerts (CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP)

And people say we are NOT being INVADED. To all these open borders people, I would say, "Do you still lock your doors at night? Do you have a fence around your House? Mr. Bush, why don't you take down the fence at the White House?? Do you let people, you don't know, walk in your house?"
The debate is moot. ENFORCE THE LAWS!
