FALFURRIAS — U.S. Border Patrol agents rescued a group of illegal immigrants Wednesday near this city.

A 9-1-1 caller informed dispatchers with the Brooks County Sheriff's Office that a group of illegal immigrants he was traveling with had become tired and disoriented as they made their way through King Ranch. The sheriff's office contacted the Falfurrias Border Patrol station and a rescue team was sent to the location, according to a statement from the federal agency.

Members of the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue unit found nine illegal immigrants wandering through the brush and provided basic first aide to them, the Border Patrol said. The group appeared to be in good health and did not request any additional medical treatment.

The immigrants were all processed for removal to their countries of origin.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a "rescue."

More like a round up.

I was thinking I wish I had a ranch big enough to get lost on, except not on the border. Wyoming sounds good. Dick Cheney can rescue me.

The King Ranch is 825,000 acres (1,289 square miles).

I've been a little turned around on much smaller places!

The immigrants were all processed for removal to their countries of origin.

So they gave them a bus ticket and told them to go home.?????

I am no racist I am a realist. Those profiting off of people who are here illegally and those here illegally are getting a free ride that everyone else has to work harder and pay more in taxes to provide. We are all aware Obama and the Democrats need a way to stop an inevitable landslide victory in 2010 for Republicans because Obama and the Democrats governed so badly. Big Campaign contributing Business wants to keep its Taxpayer subsidized cheep labor and has no intention of loosing this Election. By Stroke of the Pen Law of the land Amnesty will be granted and the Democrats will get millions of new voters. I am a realist and that’s not racist.
