ICE discovers 67 illegal aliens, including 6 unaccompanied teens, in deplorable conditions in a shed in NM

EL PASO, Texas — Deportation officers and special agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Monday discovered 67 illegal aliens from Guatemala and Ecuador, including six unaccompanied teenagers, in a stash house in Dexter, New Mexico.

The stash house, in the 7300 block of Southeast Main Street, was used by an alien smuggling organization to house illegal aliens who had been smuggled into the United States. Dexter is about 18 miles from Roswell, New Mexico.

Tomas Miguel Mateo, 38, of Guatemala, is charged in a federal criminal complaint with harboring the illegal aliens and with unlawfully re-entering the United States after having been previously deported. 

“As the deplorable conditions of this stash house demonstrate, transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) have no respect for human life,” said Jack P. Staton, special agent in charge of ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) El Paso. “Human smuggling is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, and the individuals being smuggled are viewed as cargo by the criminal networks. HSI continues to investigate this organization and will hold them accountable for their illicit activities.”

That stash house probably has better living conditions than where they lived in Ecuador.

If they want to be in the U.S., they need to do it LEGALLY, and stop with all the illegal crap. DEPORT every last one of them and let them do it the right way.

Check them out for medical issues and feed them. Pull them over the fence at the border and give them a place to put their heads and raise my taxes.

That shed is a lot better than the cardboard shack with the tin roof in Central America, where they came from. Heck, they thought they were staying at a Hilton Hotel.

Ecuador is a beautiful country with wonderful beaches. Vacation several occasions however they don't believe in free money.
