| Illegal Alien Smugglers in Court |
| 2009-09-26 |
| what's wrong with this picture? One of two men charged in a human smuggling operation that ended Tuesday with federal agents shooting at the suspected smugglers at the San Ysidro border checkpoint appeared in federal court Friday. Prosecutors charged Javier Jaramillo Mendez with smuggling illegal immigrants for financial gain. He was ordered held pending a detention hearing next week. According to a federal complaint, Jaramillo was the navigator for the driver of a van who ran the border with 25 illegal immigrants inside. Jaramillo has been arrested 28 times for immigration violations, the complaint said. 28 times? The complaint says that Sergio Guzman Torres drove one of three vans loaded with illegal immigrants that ran the border checkpoint. With the van coming toward them, three federal agents opened fire. Four people were wounded, two by gunfire, including Guzman. Guzman, who remains hospitalized, has been arrested 11 times for violating immigration laws, the complaint said. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday. 11 times? Your border enforcement at work via the courts and weak judges |

| #2 Guzman was probably just rounding up some illegal 'minors' to take advantage of Cali's free college tuition (MM reporting the Dream Act is BACK). I gotta wonder, though, if those gunshot injuries had proved fatal to the scumbag, how long before they'd put the agents on trial for murder. |

| #1 There's a pattern of those who rationalized slavery [cheap labor] and those who rationalize illegal immigration [doing the jobs Americans won't]. These smugglers are barely one step above slavers and should be treated as such. Till the courts start treating human trafficking as nothing more than modern slave trade, you'll get this recidivism. |
