149 Migrants Found Inside Tractor Trailer Trying to Cross Border

U.S. Border Patrol agents stopped a commercial trailer near Laredo, Texas, that was carrying a total of 149 undocumented immigrants inside.

The incident—which the agency described as a human smuggling attempt—happened on April 16, when the vehicle came to a checkpoint on Interstate Highway 35 (I-35), according to a press release.

When the border agents conducted a non-intrusive scan of the trailer, they saw "multiple anomalies" inside. They then discovered more than a hundred people locked inside the cargo area.

So what?  They'll probably get a four of five day 5 star stay at the nearest 5 star hotel then released. :whistle:

Absolutely right, ranger.

The proper way to handle this would have been:
1. Back that trailer up to the borderline.
2. Open the door, and let 'em back out... into Mexico.
