An Arizona man has been arrested on charges of human smuggling after Border Patrol agents found 31 illegal immigrants from Mexico in his tractor-trailer.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a Sept. 17 statement that agents assigned to the Interstate 19 immigration checkpoint near Amado found the concealed Mexican nationals, aged between 15 and 40, after a Border Patrol dog alerted them that something was amiss.

Agents then referred the 2008 Freightliner for a secondary inspection, which revealed the hidden individuals—all later found to be in the country illegally.

I'm familiar with the Amado stretch of I-19, been through the CBP checkpoint there several times.

These semi-truck stories have turned out badly in years past.  I remember a couple of them a number of years ago, when the trailers were abandoned in the desert, full of dead illegals.
