| Border Patrol Agents Catch African Illegals |
| 2005-07-16 |
| MCCOOK [TX] – MCCOOK – Ethiopians headed into the Valley Friday morning were intercepted by Border Patrol agents. Four of them were in custody, and agents said 11 more were caught around noon. It was unclear if they were all from Africa, but they were transported to McAllen’s Border Patrol station to determine their nationalities. It all started when a sheriff’s deputy tried to pull over a black truck. The driver took off and led police on a brief chase before stopping near a field. Several people jumped out of the truck and ran. A convenience store owner in the area said he frequently sees illegals walk into his store. Agents started the proceedings to deport the Ethiopians. |

| #2 Mexico actively detains and jails Central and So. Americans crossing their southern border, usually in near inhuman conditions. No or very little potable water or food, disease rampant, etc. They don't want their southern neighbors competing with Mexican illegals for teh gringo $. Remunerations from mexicans working in America ranks second only to oil exports for a source of foreign revenue. Hypocrisy? You betcha |

| #1 How hard is it to enter into Mexico, maybe if Mexico tightened up some of it's borders that may help some. With all of the aid that we give them maybe we could have some understandings here. Maybe we need to look at how Mexico deals with it's illegals, which is probably nothing but this could be a start. |
