Small Border Patrol victory over 17 illegals in Lompoc
Border Patrol faked out 17 Mexican illegals in Lompoc during a field raid. Senior agent Jim Berry and a two man San Luis Obispo team say the area’s 8000-plus Mexican aliens strain manpower and that arrests, deportations, and one way bus rides back across the border are routine. They warn labor contractors and a looming hiring bill threaten the system.
