    Woman, 22, dies in Border Patrol helicopter

    Woman, 22, dies in Border Patrol helicopter

    A young woman trekking north from Mexico with her teenage niece and nephew died Tuesday in the desert near Tucson in spite of the efforts of U.S. Border Patrol agents to save her, a Border Patrol spokesman said.

    In another case, a Border Patrol agent near Douglas found Wednesday the decomposing body of another woman east of that city, said Border Patrol Agent Michael Scioli.

    In the first incident on Tuesday, Scioli said agents got a call from someone telling them of three immigrants in distress in the desert about a half-mile east of Three Points, a settlement on the Ajo Highway about 20 miles west of Tucson.

    When agents got to the scene about 6 p.m. they were met by a 17-year-old girl and an 18-year-old boy who told the agents their 22-year-old aunt had collapsed in the desert.

    The teens led agents to their aunt, who was unconscious.

    The agents called for medics and the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue unit, or BORSTAR, and those agents called for a helicopter ambulance. But the woman died on the way to St. Mary's Hospital, Scioli said.

    All three suspected illegal immigrants were from Tlaxcala, Mexico, Scioli said, adding the teens were turned over to the Mexican Consulate in Nogales for return to relatives in their homeland.

    In the other incident, Scioli said an agent tracking a group of suspected illegal entrants Wednesday came across a decomposing body about 9:45 a.m., but he could not tell the person's gender. Identification found near the body was for a woman from Oaxaca, Mexico, Scioli said.

    The deaths bring to at least 158 the number of illegal immigrants found dead in southern Arizona's deserts since Oct. 1, the beginning of the federal fiscal year, according to Border Patrol and Tucson Citizen records.

    Wait I never knew it was the Border Patrols job to rescue people down in the desert? Would the same treatment be extended to an American whos car broken down in the desert and was walking to the nearest town???
    Also the Border Patrol's job is too protect the border from terrorists and terror weapons! This is out of there realm of duties and they should be fired!!! I mean there wasting tax dollars and leaving our borders open to terrorist!!!

    I've noticed there have been a little more posts about our border agents finding corpses and such lately. Is this what the news is trying to get out there, as another way to show how sad it is, and what these people go through to get here? I still don't feel sorry for them.
    Bless my friends and family, and God Bless America!

    The Border Agents went "far above and beyond the call of duty" by trying to save the illegal alien crosser.
    WHERE IS THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT - CAN'T THEY STOP THEIR OWN PEOPLE FROM TRYING TO CROSS ILLEGALLY INTO OUR COUNTRY?

    What a bunch of BS.

    PS, if you run our of water, drink your urine. I know it sounds gross, but it worked at least for the guy on "Man vs. Nature" in the Australian desert.
