ALAMO, Texas -- Federal agents acting on a tip found 58 illegal immigrants of various nationalities crowded in a single-story residence, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Friday.

Agents on Thursday found 15 women and 43 men, of which there were 33 Mexicans, 19 Brazilian, three Hondurans, two Salvadorans and one Peruvian.

The illegal immigrants were taken to the agency's Weslaco station pending formal removal back to their home countries.

Why I left Los Angeles

I hope to join my relatives out in Colorado soon. I know they also have somewhat of a problem with illegals, but it's nowhere near the same as SoCal.

19 Brazilians????
Thanks George Bush for making our borders an international joke. You also could care less about all the drugs Mexico is smuggling across

Hmm, sorry for the weird formatting on that last image. Don’t know what happened; it didn’t look like that in the preview.

Think again.

Here's downtown Denver, Colorado. Police estimate the crowd at 75,000 and stretched for a mile. That's huge for a city the size of Denver.

Denver, Colorado-Tens of thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters march on Denver, Colorado.

And this is a surprise, why??? This is the only way illegals can afford to live in the US. This is all Bush’s fault for not making the United States more appealing to illegals.

....but isn't crowding people into a house dangerous and illegal?

Not if there is a sub-prime mortgage on the house.

Here's a pic of them on the way to work...

Yeah, I know about that. But most of the cities both south and north of Denver have population stats that are about 85% - 90% white. Again, nowhere near SoCal percentages. Not even close!

And when even the Democrats over there seem to want to crack down on them (they just passed some surprising legislation, considering), it gives me hope.

I wish you well. Colorado is great.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I remember this.

“No, of course not, silly. It’s “cultural diversity.””

Yeah : -)

[ichabod1]

I’m not so fond of spanglish either. I prefer Latin, and I wish these mestizos would stop referring to themselves as latin, since latins are as white as you and me. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a native-mexican.

[RepublitarianRoger]

Thanks. I found this several months ago, and while it's not really that encouraging on paper -- CO is #10 out of the 50 states in total illegal population, and #6 on a per capita basis -- my visits to CO were filled with towns where all I saw were whites.

Not that all-white is really what I want, particularly -- it would actually be a little weird since I'm so used to the diversity here and like it to some extent -- but I'm tired of the increasing overcrowdedness, the pervasive feeling that I am a minority here in SoCal, the ridiculous amount of graffiti (of which I saw very little even in downtown Denver), not to mention the air quality, insane traffic congestion and all of that. I'm sick of it, and it's only getting worse.

Colorado is experiencing some rapid growth too, I know. (And yeah, I know I'd be contributing to that growth by moving there...) But I see it taking at least 25 years before it is even anywhere close to SoCal's situation. I'm just hoping that the city planners and legislators are smart enough to not allow CO to become another SoCal.

California has over twice as many illegals per capita right now than Colorado, so I think (I hope) CO will in better shape than CA for a good while longer.

I hope I'm making a good choice. Now all I have to do is get used to snow.

Oops -- link didn't show up. (Today's evidently not my day for accurately formatted posting.) Here it is.

Six months or more ago, Lowell, MA cops found 900 illegals crammed in a small apartment house. They had every conceivable document forging device known to man, fax machines, copy machines, scanners, plus I.D. paperwork.

“15 men, 43 women. i like those odds.”

Except it was 15 women, 43 men :-)

[oldteen]

900? Are you serious??

[oldbill]

Sorry Biscuit Jane, but you are wrong. You must be a realtor.

The distribution of subprime foreclosures maps directly nationwide to the concentration of illegals, almost to the zipcode. These were the largest grouping to whom subprimes were issed in the last 2-3 years, about 50%, and they were the ones most likely to default. And did.

The MSM and the Wall St Journal and the politicians want you to think it was greedy boomers or speculators because they don’t want this effect of the illegal invasion discovered and interfering with their open border/amnesty agenda.

Looks like their propaganda fooled you, too.

[hershey]

Yes, 900. The DHL deliverman who told me about it works in Lowell, and he was shocked and furious.
