9 Illegal Immigrants Killed in Arizona While Trying to Elude Border Patrol

9 Illegal Immigrants Killed in Arizona While Trying to Elude Border Patrol. The headline say enough but here are more details

The driver of a sport utility vehicle packed with suspected illegal immigrants flipped over while trying to elude federal agents, killing nine people and injuring 12, officials said.

Five of the injured, including a pregnant woman, were hospitalized in critical condition in Yuma and Phoenix, most with head trauma.

So these people are here illegally and are now getting medical care. I say as soon as they can be transported, ship them back to Mexico, and let them take care of them. The driver of the vehicle was avoiding federal agents. He needs to be locked up for a long time.

The Chevy Suburban was carrying 21 people — all Mexican citizens — when the driver tried to circumvent a checkpoint on the highway more than 30 miles north of Yuma, according to authorities.

With Border Patrol agents in pursuit, the driver attempted to make a U-turn and rolled over, Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Frers said.

Yuma County Sheriff's Maj. Leon Wilmot said the vehicle was traveling faster than the posted speed limit of 50 mph at the time of the accident

Ok, so these criminals were over 30 miles inside the USA before they were stopped. Any body want to put money on the fact that they did not use a regular entry point? And the liberals wonder why there is a cry for a border fence. On top of the illegal entry into the country the driver was also speeding, and with that many people in the vehicle operating an unsafe vehicle.

The car had swerved to avoid a spike strip put out by Border Patrol agents, Wilmot said.

So now you can add police evasion to the driver's charges.

Scores of illegal immigrants die each year while crossing the Mexican border into Arizona, many in car crashes. Smugglers often flee from authorities at high speeds or overload vehicles, which makes them difficult to control.
Nationwide, at least 291 illegal immigrants have died during border crossing attempts from Oct. 1 through Sunday, Border Patrol spokesman Gustavo Soto said. That includes 75 deaths due to heat exposure, 45 drownings, and 42 motor vehicle incidents

Need I say more. If we do not control our southern border soon who knows what else will happen.
