Border Patrol Press Release Masks Aliens' Desperation — and Cluelessness
By David North on December 14, 2018
A December 13 Border Patrol press release headlined: "Border Patrol Apprehends 16 Aliens after Landing in Puerto Rico's Northwest Coast" exposed a much more complicated situation, as we will see.
Let's not ask who landed on that coast.
Let's ignore the use of landing "in" a coast, rather than on it.
The aliens had managed to cross some 150 miles of open water between the eastern end of the Dominican Republic and the western shore of Puerto Rico in a "22-foot white and blue fiberglass makeshift vessel powered by a 60 HP Yamaha outboard engine", according to the press release. A photo, presumably of the boat in question, shows that it is open, something better used closer to the shore. Why the BP felt it important to tell us the boat's color, and the brand name of the outboard motor, but not that the vessel was an open one or the distance traveled, is another question.
