(Note: Falfurrias, Texas, is 100 miles north of the United States - Mexico border, 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. Although the media continues to use deceptive language to cover up the fact that these Illegal Invaders are NOT immigrants, the criminal charges tell the truth: "...federal alien smuggling..." The fact that half those caught are OTM -- Other Than Mexican -- and come from China, tells the profit motive of smuggling OTMs, but it does not tell why the honorable immigration route is not followed by these Alien Invaders. What reason do people from the other side of the world have for coming here secretly? Where, you ask, is "homeland security" and those that should be keeping our sovereign borders CLOSED to all but honorable, legal immigrants?)

Falfurrias, Texas - Ten Chinese and 11 Mexican immigrants were found unharmed in a locked tractor-trailer rig at the immigration checkpoint here, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said today.

A 30-year-old Pharr resident was arrested on federal alien smuggling charges.

The immigrants were discovered Wednesday after a Border Patrol dog alerted authorities to the trailer.

Also Thursday, CBP reported that a Mexican male from Houston called to report that a 33-year-old man suspected of guiding immigrants fell into an abandoned oil well near the checkpoint and died. Agents recovered the body and were interviewing 10 illegal immigrants found near the scene.
