In the early morning hours Thursday, several busloads of migrants were dropped off on Highway 2 in Mexico, just south of the Arizona border.
"They walked about 100 yards, climbed under and over the vehicle barrier that is the only infrastructure in that area and agents were called in to make the arrest," said acting Tucson Border Patrol Chief Jeffrey Self.
In total, 242 people -- mostly families from Guatemala -- were arrested when Border Patrol agents arrived at the scene after the migrants were detected by a mobile surveillance system.
This was one of the largest single groups crossing the Arizona border over the last year, according to Border Patrol, and comes on the heels of other large groups illegally crossing at other parts of the border.

This is simply an unarmed invasion meant to crash our border patrol system at which point drugs, illegal immigrants, child traffickers and terrorist will freely cross into this country.
I can barely support me and my family much less a bunch illegal, sickly immigrants to lazy to fix the problems of their own countries!
Now they will get months of free housing, food and medical care and a free plane trip home. Hell if they are here in November 2020 they can even vote for Hillary Clinton.
Why don't these young people you fly their flag stay and fight for their country. Because American gives them everything. You blue collar workers keep on your hard job so our illegal immigrants are free and fed.
May I just ask why none get shot? This would break it up. You'd only have to shoot one or two to stop this nonsense. I know it's taking a life, but they are taking our country. It's a small price to pay.
Dave T: no crisis here. reminds me a lot of the old wolf dressed in sheep's clothing.
They will go to California, be given a drivers license and vote in 2020. The cost to support them is money real American citizens in need will not receive.
