3 Indicted in Transporting Undocumented Immigrants

A federal grand jury indicted three people this week on charges of participating in a conspiracy to harbor and transport eight to 10 groups of undocumented immigrants in Utah and elsewhere.

Jose Ramon Navarro-Corral and Alfredo Lara-Lizaola knowingly conspired "with each other and other co-conspirators" sometime before Jan. 29 to take custody of the immigrants, who were smuggled from Mexico into the United States and taken to Phoenix, according to the indictment filed Wednesday.

The two allegedly housed the immigrants in a Phoenix apartment, bought vehicles and hired drivers to transport them elsewhere, court documents said.

Other conspirators paid both defendants, prosecutors allege; Navarro-Corral accepted $100 per person and Lara-Lizaola was given between $300 and $350 for each group.

On Jan. 29, documents said, Navarro-Corral took custody of a group of Brazilian nationals smuggled into the United States from Mexico, and was told to take the group to Washington state. He allegedly took them to Lara-Lizaola, who agreed to house them, documents said, and also hired two drivers and obtained a vehicle to make the Jan. 31 trip.

Navarro-Corral is also known by the names Mario C. Valdez and Antonio Salvidar, the indictment said. The indictment does not say what happened to the people being transported.

This whole thing with "Race," and "Mexicans," is a diversion, MF.

Mexico is a multi-racial society, in which European, many Indian Cultures, Asian, and African strains mix. Furthermore, there is a good deal of bigotry and racial awareness among Mexicans, it is just different from OUR strain of the same defects.

If you look at Mexican TV with the sound off, it looks as if a band of renegade Norwegians took over the bloody station: very short shrift given to "Indian" or "other" looking talent.

I wonder what kind of punishment those two will get?

Community service. . . they can haul illegals back across the border.

Hand over Iraqis who live in Canada? There's only about 125 living here.....I actually know one, and he's glad Saddam is out of power. In fact, all of the Iraqis in Canada are glad he's gone.

How very true this is. I lived in a multi-cultural Hispanic neighborhood. *Nobody* liked the Mexicans except the Mexicans. The Puerto Rican's didn't like them because they weren't 'white'. The Dominicans didn't like them either. Ditto the Cubans, Colombians, Brazilians, Argentinians....

It was on FOX news the other night when they were explaining why the US is unhappy with various countries. I know, I almost fell out of my chair when I heard that one. And only 125 Iraqis? As some would say:

All your Iraqis are belong to us.
