Agent: Smugglers’ ‘deviousness’ knows no bounds.
Smugglers made it nearly 70 miles into Texas with illegal aliens inside a “cloned” U.S. Border Patrol vehicle before the driver was detected and arrested.
An eagle-eyed Border Patrol agent recently spotted the fake vehicle near the town of Cotulla, Texas, and pulled it over to find 12 illegal aliens wedged inside. The agent became suspicious of the Chevy Tahoe driving ahead of him because it did not possess overhead lights typically mounted on the vehicles.
“This shows the level of deviousness and desperation these smugglers will stoop to in order to deliver their cargo,” Agent Hector Garza told Breitbart News on Friday. “They will not stop. Whether they are smuggling drugs, humans or terrorists, to them it is just about the money.”
Garza serves as the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Local 2455.
“If this vehicle had become involved in a high-speed chase, it could have been catastrophic,” the agent told Breitbart.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates there are 11.5 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. The individuals tend to flock to one of nearly 300 “sanctuary cities” across country.
