Smuggler Driving 12 Migrants Leads Cops on High-Speed Chase in McAllen, Texas
The natural consequence of a lack of interior enforcement, as Governor Abbott vows to build a wall

A smuggler carrying 12 illegal migrants crashed into the front gate of a home in McAllen, Texas, over the weekend, after leading Border Patrol agents and state troopers on a 40-minute car chase. It’s indicative of a growing problem along the border, as increasing numbers of migrants try to evade Border Patrol safe in the knowledge that if they succeed, and make it to the interior of the country, ICE under the Biden administration almost definitely won’t remove them.
Saturday’s incident started at the corner of Ware Rd. and I-2 in McAllen, less than three miles from the Rio Grande. It began after a “concerned citizen” notified Border Patrol that suspected aliens were being loaded into a red Lincoln Navigator near Madero, Texas. Agents responded and gave chase after the driver sped away.
That chase ended several blocks away near 22nd and Maple when the driver crashed into a “residential fence”, sending that driver and several occupants fleeing. The area was searched, and Border Patrol agents apprehended the smuggler and 12 erstwhile alien passengers shortly thereafter.
