Illegal Immigrants Apprehended off Oceanside, Southern California Coast

This happened within earshot of where I live:

NORTH COUNTY — Two groups of illegal immigrants came ashore in North County and were apprehended Tuesday, including 18 adults who were dumped off by a boat on a Camp Pendleton beach.

Marine Corps officials contacted the Border Patrol around 6 a.m. after the 13 men and five women were spotted on the base. It is believed the group was dropped off by smugglers using a boat, said Border Patrol Agent Mark Endicott.

The 18 were all Mexican nationals illegally in the country, Endicott said.

“No boat was seized in connection with this event,” Endicott said. “(Agents) suspect they were dropped off and the boat departed.”

Earlier Tuesday, 16 people were apprehended when a boat carrying illegal immigrants came ashore in Leucadia.

The panga was first spotted about 1:20 a.m. by a Coast Guard helicopter on routine patrol south of Oceanside, Coast Guard Petty Officer Henry Dunphy said.

The boat made landfall about 2 a.m. near the Batiquitos Lagoon north of Grandview Beach, Dunphy said.

Border Patrol agents assisted by the Sheriff’s Department took the people into custody. Endicott said the 15 men and one woman were all Mexican nationals. The majority were apprehended near stairs leading to a condo complex near the beach, he said.

My thoughts on this are as follows. First, illegal immigrants coming ashore and being a more frequent event in San Diego and southern California is actually a good sign. It is clear, if not anecdotal evidence, that the San Diego/Mexico border is much less porous than it was in the past. This is due in large part to the fence that was constructed in San Diego. Sorry Marxists, leftists, and open-border one-worlders, the fence simply works.

Second, this story, along with illegals landing in Leucadia on Tuesday as well highlight how dangerous the illegal immigration situation is. Next time the boatload of illegals may not be peasants but drug smugglers (or perhaps worse) with military weapons.

On this note, is it any wonder then why Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (and 70% of Arizona residents) are desperate to resolve the crime and mayhem at their border? Because it is much, much worse there.

Yet Dear Leader and Eric Holder's cronies push to sue a state for simply and perhaps even desperately trying to save itself from a warzone situation.

The nation wants the borders closed and our country protected. As the White House and Justice fight the vast majority of America, can you say reelection, Western Democrats?
