North County Times - Californian | Posted: Friday, October 15, 2010 8:45 pm (9) Comments

A multiagency force caught 21 Mexican adults trying to enter the county Friday on a small boat in south Carlsbad, officials said.

The California National Guard, working to support customs and Border Patrol agents, spotted a panga boat along the coastline south of Carlsbad State Beach at about 2:30 a.m.

Officers and agents met the boat as it reached shore, according to the customs and Border Patrol.

Many of those aboard the boat ran ashore, while three others tried to escape by pushing the boat back to sea ---- but they gave up that attempt when they spotted the emergency lights of an approaching boat with law enforcement officers aboard, the agency said.

Officials arrested 20 men and one woman as suspected illegal immigrants, and seized the boat, officials said.

The arrests were part of a coordinated effort by the Maritime Unified Command, which is made up of federal customs agents, the Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies. It handles maritime law enforcement in the San Diego and Orange County coastal regions.

Maybe they need to be knocking on the White House doors to announce the invasion! Before anything is done
