McALLEN (October 6, 2009)--Three people were facing federal charges Tuesday in connection with an alleged scheme to bring illegal immigrants into a South Texas beach resort aboard Jet Skis.
Americans Anthony and Andy Rodriguez and Mexican citizen Beatriz Manzano-Luna were arrested Friday after the U.S. Coast Guard alerted the Border Patrol that personal watercraft were ferrying people from Boca Chica Beach just south of the mouth of the Rio Grande in Mexico to jetties at Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island.
KGBT-TV reported that Border Patrol spokesman John Lopez said local police intercepted seven illegal immigrants.

That will never stop, for $3,000 each. Border patrol knows exacly whats going on, one takes a break and the other takes half of the money and lets everybody go through, including 18 wheelers full of people, they're making the money.

This kind of stuff has been going on in California for years!! But I'll agree that they should be shot on sight!! But remember the Coyote's get 2-3 thousand dollars from each one of the illegals(money that the illegals that have already made it into Texas send home every week)!!! The local Texas illegals have been buying Money Orders or sending the money by Western Union for over 50 years that I know of!!!
