(August 26, 2008)—U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have arrested 62 illegal immigrants at a home in Edinburg.

Border Patrol spokesman Dan Doty said his agency received information about possible illegal immigrants at the location and requested ICE to assist.

The immigrants will be processed at Border Patrol stations and then probably will be handed over to ICE for deportation.

Doty said most of those detained were not Mexican.

Adelina Prundea, an ICE spokeswoman, said it was too early to say whether the discovery would lead to a human smuggling investigation.

To Angela; So, whats the point. What are you trying to say. Mexicans are some kind of high superior human beings that are able to jump across a swollen river on a single bound, that can make beans into a meal that the Pope & Virgin Mary would be proud to eat, pack into places that mouse would find difficult to do. Maybe you are just ashamed that illegal mexicans take advantage of the good hearted Americans! Either way, they abuse the laws of this country and think it does not apply to them! Any time something is said about illegals, people of mexican decent cry raciest. So be it and get the heck out of our country! Love it or Leave it! Americans made this country of milk and honey! We all know what mexicans made of their country! Angela,is that hispanic?

Need I post links to the many other instances where scores of illegal alien Mexicans are residing in single-family residences? This is not uncommon, and the sooner you wake up to reality (instead of parroting politically correct mantras), the sooner we can address the REAL issues plaguing this country!

fyi...the article said that the 62 illegal immigrants were arrested AT a home...no where did it say that all those people lived IN the home.

Thank you, Angela! Well-said!

Just because the Confederates lost the Civil war, it doesn’t mean we’ve given up on the fight to have slave labor. Darn you ICE! How can a greedy company survive in the 21st century?

The article did not mention the home was for a single family. As far as ethnic slurs being approved by the webmaster, let me add not just Mexicans live 62 people per home; Eskimos, Native Americans, Mongolians, Amazonian Tribes, All Central Americans and those from South America, and inmates from Guantanamo Bay! Not everyone lives in the land of milk and honey, with a grocery store on every corner and a Lowe's in every town. Have you ever lived in Mexico? They are NOT provided sewer or water services, and if you try and build a house the government officials come and tear it down and take the bricks away, you have no rights. Even in America you get a free meal and a free ride home(to the border)! God Bless America, Everyone of Us!

OK ME! Mexicans are not the only ones that live 62 to a single family home!
Posted by: Me Location: Central Texas on Aug 26, 2008 at 04:19 PM
Most were not Mexican? That's a first! Who else but Mexicans live 62 (sometime more) to a single-family home?
