SAN YSIDRO – A 16-year-old girl posing as a construction worker was arrested Thursday morning after Border Patrol agents discovered 13 illegal immigrants crammed into the pickup she was driving, authorities said.
The truck was disguised as a vehicle from Kiewit Corp., a large construction and mining company based in Omaha, Neb., that is building a secondary border fence west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the Border Patrol said.
Agents spotted the pickup about 6 a.m. near Smuggler's Gulch as they saw four people running toward Mexico. The driver sped away as officers approached, but later stopped near Monument Road and Hollister Street.
The girl, a U.S. citizen, and a male passenger were both wearing yellow hard hats and reflective safety vests, officials said.
Another man was trying to hide in the front cab, and three women and eight men were found crammed into a modified compartment in the bed of the truck. All are Mexican nationals.
Agents said that it was not the first time that smugglers have used Kiewit Corp. as a cover. A similar scheme was uncovered in August when 11 illegal immigrants were found inside another impostor pickup.

Is our security agencies this clueless?

If Sen Dick Durbin had the Pacific ocean on the border of his state I wonder if he would be so willing to give illegals Amnesty. Most of these Senators don't live in a border area so they may not have an appreciation for how fragile our security really is. This will continue as long as there is a Mexico on our southern border.

No doubt Captain! I would have to believe there is plenty room for improvement if a 16 year old girl can smuggle illegal invaders into this country wearing a yellow hard hat and driving a faux construction vehicle!

Something tells me this may not be the first time she has tried this!

Both of these "kids" should LOSE THEIR U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND BE DEPORTED!!!!!!!!
