Bus carrying illegal immigrants dangles off bridge

WHITE HAVEN, Pa. --More than half of the passengers who escaped after their bus teetered off the side of a bridge on Interstate 80 were in the country illegally and will be deported.

Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 23 of the 44 people on the bus for immigration violations, ICE spokeswoman Ernestine Fobbs said Wednesday.

The chartered bus was bound for New York City when it crashed in bad weather Monday, hit a bridge abutment and came to rest with its front wheels dangling 100 feet above the Lehigh River.

Passengers made their way to the back of the bus and got out safely before police arrived. No one was seriously hurt.

Of the 23 illegal immigrants, 22 were Chinese nationals and one was from Mexico, Fobbs said. There were 13 men and 10 women.

Police filed several traffic citations against the bus driver, Chi Yang Liu, 43, of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Geez, it used to be vans I always heard about, however, this is the second bus article I've read today. Hmmm......and they keep telling us we only have 12 million criminal aliens in the country. You know there's lots of them when they start traveling by the busload.

WHAT! This is not far from me. And not far from where we ski.

No Way

And one guy from Mexico? Wonder what they talked about on the trip.

This is weird!

How are these Chinese illegal aliens getting here? Are they visa overstays or being smuggled over the border?

Excellent question, I too would like to know if these folks are visa overstays or are they being smuggled into the country? I have heard of some being smuggled over through our ports in shipping crates.

2 of the ways that are possible is in BIG CONTAINERS! and across the border.

They were headed for New York. Thanks Bloomberg for making New York a sanctuary for them.
