Syrian national found on Pea Patch Island in 2014 incident
In 2014, three Syrians jumped off cargo ships traveling along the Delaware River, leaping from ships similar to this livestock carrier.
In October 2014, state park employees just starting their workday made an unusual discovery near the former Civil War prison on Pea Patch Island: a Syrian national who had jumped ship.
“He was cold and exhausted, and they brought him back to Delaware City,” said Chief Wayne Kline of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control enforcement.
In a report released by the U.S. Coast Guard, Fadel Arab, 29 at the time, and an electrician for a Panamanian cargo ship, was reported missing at noon Oct. 22 from the ship which was headed south, leaving the United States. Kline said park officials later took Fadel into custody, passing him to Delaware State Police and eventually U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Sgt. Richard Bratz of the Delaware State Police had no information on Arab or the Pea Patch Island incident, but, he said, at times the Special Operation Response Team helps maritime partners in providing boarding assistance on ships or assists with other federal agencies.

In other countries their Coast Guard actually protects their country, they open up on invaders with guns, here we toss them a life jacket, bring them ashore, and suddenly they are covered by the bill of right, and constitution!!!
Do you think you live in the wrong country, 10:38?
NO, they must reach land first otherwise they are sent back.
Obama will fly you in with benefits, we will all pay for and a small percentage will try to kill you at some point. Yaaa! Obammy! Can't we give him another eight years?
