Border Patrol: Heavy Drug Trafficking by Illegal Aliens in May

Border Patrol agents working in Arizona and California report that drug trafficking by illegal aliens has been very heavy in the first days before May. Yuma Sector agents arrested 43 illegal aliens and seized almost a ton of marijuana valued at approximately $1 million. Wellton Station Border Patrol agents arrested 58 illegal aliens and seized 1,225 pounds of marijuana. Two of these illegal aliens had been deported.

In the early hours of the weekend, Border Patrol agents patrolling the Sonoran Desert arrested seven Mexican nationals, and seized 235 pounds of marijuana. They had entered into the country illegally near Gila Bend in Maricopa County, Arizona. Agents also located more than 350 pounds of marijuana that had been abandoned.

The Sonoran Desert expands through the southwest portion of Arizona, the southeast part of California, and is in the Mexican state of Sonora.

we are not going to stop the illegals and drugs crossing the border unless drastic steps are taken if they are found with drugs or are a repeat offender we should make laws to incarcerate them with hard labor sentences if chain gangs were brought back i bet that would be a deterrent we have to put a stop to this somehow if rapist's and murderers don't receive a death sentence,but a long prison term they should suffer the same fate we are supporting a losing prison system they don't need to enjoy more comforts than the blue collar working american even while incarcerated the death penalty should be re-instated and after their case is reviewed again and convicted let them bite the dust

It's to restock the shelves after Spring Break. Any good businessman could tell you that.
