Truck Filled with Illegal Immigrants Pulled Over, Immigrants
Truck Filled with Illegal Immigrants Pulled Over, Immigrants Speak Out
Updated: Aug 13, 2008 03:30 PM EDT
CORPUS CHRISTI-A Precinct 3 Constable got into a scuffle with a smuggling suspect Wednesday when he pulled over a truck filled with illegal immigrants.
Several people bailed out of the truck bed when it pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store in Driscoll.
The constable tried to grab the driver but he was able to get away after a brief struggle. At least five other people were able to also escape. There were seven other illegal immigrants from locations such as Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala that were arrested and handed over to Border Patrol.
Highway 77 is a well-known smuggling route and similar arrests are very common.
KRIS 6 News visited with the illegal immigrants that were waiting in the parking lot for Border Control and the illegal immigrants explained why they are willing to risk prison to get into the United States.
Though they all came from different countries they all had a similar story. They said they were just looking for a chance to start a new life.
The illegal immigrants said they were hoping the white truck would carry them to a place of "freedom" far from their homes.
Since the constable caught them, they will not have freedom for a long time.
Cesar Eduardo of El Salvador said he wanted to join his family in America and escape the violence in El Salvador.
"Things are bad back home. You make 5 dollars a day, but how can you live on just five dollars? You can't," Eduardo said. "Here, things are different; you can make something of yourself. I was hoping to make a new start and pay back the money I owe."
Another illegal immigrant also from El Salvador, Jose Flores, served two years behind bars for crossing the border illegally in the past.
"It's a never-ending struggle for us to try and make a life for [ourselves] in an honorable way," Flores said. "I wish people's hearts in this country would soften toward us. We just want to better ourselves."
He added that his dreams are worth jail time, and the hours spent under the stifling black tarp on the bed of a truck.
"I consider myself legal. I think we are all legal. I haven't committed any crimes," Flores said. "Sure, go after the smugglers, the bad people who have committed murder, but we're just trying to make an honorable living and give our children a better future."
Border Patrol said the men caught are now in jail. The amount of time they will spend in jail will depend on their criminal history and how many times they've attempted to cross the border.

JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN DO THE SOMETHING WITHOUT COMMITTING TREASON. COUNTRY IS BEFORE SELFISH INTEREST? AMERICAN CITIZENS BEFORE ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS
THE TREASON HEARTS HAVE SOFTENED TO HATRED FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS:

Second tip. Fix your own country!!! Don't come here to suck us dry.
Third tip. Get some sort of education so you know the difference between legal and illegal.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Sure on the backs of me and my kids and future grandchildren. These people really are not intelligent. They don't get it that laws count and I don't care what your reasons are, I won't bend on that. Don't make excuses be a man do it right. If you can't get in legally, THERE'S A DARN GOOD REASON FOR IT.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

And the second line tells me they would stop at nothing to drain our resources to SERVE THEIR NEEDS!

Guess what, uniteasone, you are already feeding many, many, many mouths through tax dollars for public service programs. The Feds spend so much and just keep borrowing money, which will be the responsibility of future generations to pay the interest.
