U.S. Coast Guard officials intercepted a boat carrying 21 migrants off the coast of Newport Beach, authorities said Friday, Nov. 15.

The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Narwhal spotted the 34-foot boat Thursday evening outside Newport Harbor, and determined it was “operating suspiciously,” according to the Coast Guard.

Coast Guard officials boarded the vessel around 7 p.m. and found 21 migrants aboard and took them into custody. They were later transferred to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
 
According to the Coast Guard, 18 of the migrants were Mexican, two were of Uzbek nationality and one was Russian.

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

I'm sure the non=Mexicans just happened on to the "immigrants' and it was not a regular illegal alien business. *****rollingeyes*****

Thank goodness they were turned over to Us Customs and Border Patrol, I was afraid for a minute they wouldn’t be able to get into the country, but now I am sure they will not only be safely released but given their free phone, EBT card and credit card.
