Agents stop cars, find immigrants in duffel bags

FALFURRIAS, Texas (AP) -- Agents working an immigration checkpoint found three illegal immigrants hidden in sealed nylon duffel bags, Customs and Border Protection said Thursday.

None of the immigrants found during the two consecutive stops Wednesday was harmed. All declined medical attention, though agents said they were sweating profusely.

In the first stop, agents searched a Dodge Durango with a Border Patrol dog after the driver and passenger appeared nervous. They found five people, including a woman and 5-year-old in a zipped duffel bag.

The driver, a 39-year-old U.S. citizen, and the passenger, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, were arrested and charged with alien smuggling.

Agents then searched the next vehicle after seeing a foot move under the back seat. Agents found four illegal immigrants, one concealed in a duffel bag.

The driver, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, was arrested and charged with alien smuggling.

The immigrants were returned to Mexico.

Falfurrias is about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of the Mexican border.

And a 6 billion dollar fence will stop the aliens from getting in?

Searching the duffel bags might.

I have seen where they hide them inside the seats of a car.

They have some pretty sophisticated x-ray machines at the border that can defeat this stuff. While we're dumping money down there, we should dump it on shit that actually works. Maybe some of those microwave ray guns. We could just cook them until they scream and give themselves up.

It'd be neat.

They are used to the heat. They need to invent a cold sensation gun that freezes thier nuts so they can't move. In Saratoga as soon as that first frost hit's the 'employees' aka Mexican's get on thier ten-speeds and start heading south to the Florida race tracks.
