SAN DIEGO, CA — The U.S. Coast Guard stopped a boat carrying 16 migrants over the weekend off the coast of Point Loma.

The incident happened Saturday when the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Petrel interdicted a 25-foot sailboat about 54 miles southwest of Point Loma, according to the Coast Guard. A C-130 aircraft from Air Station Sacramento found the sailing vessel and guided the cutter to its position.

The cutter launched a boarding team that interdicted the vessel without the use of force, according to the Coast Guard. Authorities said all 16 individuals aboard the boat claimed Mexican nationality. The migrants were transferred to the custody of U.S. Border Patrol at Ballast Point.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

So... they STILL ended up in the USA.
They should have been immediately returned to Mexican territory.
Take them within a few feet of the Mexican shore just south of the border, and put them in the water.
Then tow the empty boat out to sea and sink it.
Works for me.
