rec.autos.driving:

This is pretty much a daily occurrence along that portion of the
border. Pickup trucks and SUVs, carrying wetbacks stacked like
cordwood, do all kinds of crazy sh.t to evade the BP checkpoints (one
of which is just west of Yuma).

In San Diego, they used to drive WESTbound on the shoulder of the
EASTbound lanes of I-8 near Buckman Springs Road to evade the
checkpoints on I-8 and on the parallel Old US-80. Someone wisely
installed some light poles in the area to discourage this.

In AZ, the Arizona Daily Star reports one of these rollovers at least
once per week. Not sure why this particular one made the national
news...

How did they get across the border to begin with? Or were they already in
and being transported elsewhere like to the governor's house?

Clearly the coyote was driving too fast for the "condition" of having
21 wetbacks stacked like cordwood in the back of his SUV. Why was he
not charged with "driving too fast for conditions?"

Not an S.U.V. It was an Express, a van.

Again i say MINE xeton2001 !!!

Well this should make you really happy then:

Immigrant injured in rollover gives birth

An expectant mother injured earlier this week in the rollover of a
smuggling vehicle carrying her and 20 other illegal immigrants has
given birth to a baby girl.

The baby, weighing 3 pounds, 11 ounces, was born by Caesarean section
Tuesday in a Phoenix hospital, said Jorge Solchaga, head of the
protection department of the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix. The mother
gave birth during her seventh month of pregnancy.

The baby, who has been nicknamed "Milagros," or "Miracles," was in
satisfactory condition, Solchaga said, who has been monitoring the
baby's health for the Phoenix consulate. The mother, who remained
unidentified, is still in critical condition, he said.

Solchaga would not comment on the citizenship status of the infant.

Nine illegal immigrants were killed and 12 others were injured in the
accident Monday morning on Martinez Lake Road west of U.S. Highway 95
while being pursued by Border Patrol agents. The Chevrolet Suburban
rolled over after trying to avoid a spike strip that U.S. Border Patrol
agents laid down in front of it to stop it, the Yuma County Sheriff's
Office said.

The consulate is still trying to determine if the father was among
those killed or injured, he said.

"We're trying to reunite (the baby) with her family," he said.

The mother and four other injured aliens remained in Banner Good
Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix on Wednesday. Meghan Finn,
spokeswoman for the hospital, said she had no update on their status
Thursday.

The remaining eight who were injured have been released, either from
the Phoenix hospital or Yuma Regional Medical Center.

The alleged driver of the Suburban, 20-year-old Adan Pineda-Doval, is
in federal custody on a charge of felony transportation of illegal
aliens. He may face additional charges pending a continuing
investigation into the accident.

A year ago, Pineda-Doval allegedly was trying to smuggle illegal aliens
into the country when he was chased by Border Patrol agents and Arizona
Department of Public Safety officers, according to documents in U.S.
District Court in Yuma. The pursuit led from Yuma to Quartzsite, during
which Pineda-Doval allegedly swerved toward officers, putting their
lives and the lives of the aliens at risk, court documents stated.

He was charged with multiple felony counts in that case, but pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanor count of illegal entry in the case, according
to court records.
