San Diego:
Six “undocumented” Mexican “immigrants” (my quotations) were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.
San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn’t speak English and didn’t have California driver’s licenses, Foreman said. The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing.
Just ‘stealing what Americans won’t’.
Border Patrol agents are not looking for illegal immigrants at the center but will continue responding to police calls for assistance.
“We are not in any means at Qualcomm for enforcement capacity,” he said. “We are not there to take advantage of a situation.”
Oh, gawd forbid they should do their job by arresting these felons wherever they pop up….
Foreman said the agents have been helping in the evacuation and rescue effort in addition to carrying out their main duties.
“We are dedicated to our primary mission to securing our borders,” he said.
