Border Patrol agents at the I-35 checkpoint north of Laredo stopped a smuggling attempt November 23 after finding 38 undocumented immigrants in a trailer.

Agents say they were conducting an immigration inspection on the driver of the tractor trailer when a canine alerted the agents of something suspicious. After searching, officials found the undocumented immigrants inside.

Of the immigrants, 31 were men, six were adult women and one was a child. They came originally from Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Mexico, El Salvador, Brazil and Nicaragua.

None of the immigrants needed medical attention and the driver, a U.S. citizen was arrested.

“News You Won’t Be Seeing on CNN”

Maybe they’ll gleefully report on it a year from now when most of these people are still in the USA on our dime getting their justice from our American hating lawyers and Judges.

They don’t even bother with a euphemism.

Illegal aliens are what they are.

They can’t be immigrants because they didn’t apply to be one.

I’ve known real immigrants and conflating them is insulting.

Yes. While the BP was concentrating on that group, ten more groups were slipping in.

The border patrol arrested the driver, what happened to the 40 illegals. Catch and release?
