SAN DIEGO — Border Patrol agents detained dozens of suspected illegal immigrants from three failed smuggling attempts during a 36-hour span this week, officials said.

The first occurred about 8 p.m. Tuesday when agents stopped a Ford Explorer near Campo. Agents said the vehicle appeared to have a large amount of weight inside, and they found 12 people stacked on top of each other in the back of the SUV.

Ten were Mexican nationals; one was from Honduras and another was from Guatemala.

The suspected smugglers, an 18-year-old female driver and a 19-year-old man who was her passenger, are both U.S. citizens. They were arrested and face smuggling charges, agents said.

About 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, agents stopped a group of 22 suspected illegal immigrants hiding in rocky terrain in Shelter Valley, about 13 miles east of Julian.

The group, which had been traveling on foot, was waiting to be picked up by a driver, agents said. Among those detained was the guide, who faces smuggling charges, officials said.

Early Thursday morning, agents arrested 10 people, all Mexican nationals who had been on a boat and dropped at Torrey Pines State Beach. Shortly afterward, agents with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Marine Unit intercepted the panga boat off the coast and arrested two suspected smugglers.

Which shows the propaganda that the economy is stemming the flow is a bunch of bull #######. Illegal immigration is alive and kicking. Yes, while Americans have to live in tents and watch their lives be zeroed out.

They jump the queue then have kids expecting people to feel sorry for them once they are deported while their kids stay here.

why should they have the right to circumvent the system for their own advantage? Don't the poor in other nations (including America) deserve the same right to prosperity?

On a personal level I have neither sympathy or Contempt for the border crossers.

I understand why most come and I also understand why we must do what is necessary to stop them and run them back out of the country.

Around here, which about 40% Hispanic, some are leaving because there are less construction and poultry plant jobs now and a new detention facility for illegal immgrants busted on additional criminal charges. The word's out and they have go back south of the border or to states that don't enforce immigration laws.

Same deal here in NC.

The DMV cut em off and the Sheriff is doing his job.

I Kinda wonder if the 14th Amendment which was in part to settle the question about Black citizenship has been interpreted beyond it's intent or reason.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Why was this one clause added if the modern interpretation would have been perfect without it?

Are Citizens of other countries who trespass our boarders "Subject to the Jurisdiction thereoff"?

Does anyone really think this Amendment adopted after the Civil War in 1868 was intended to include foreigners ransacking our boarders?

I propose we amend this Amendment.....
