Current Events > 12 ejected, 5 die in crash after high speed Border Patrol chase near TX border.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A vehicle carrying undocumented immigrants flipped Sunday, ejecting 12 people and killing at least five after a chase in south Texas, Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said.

Four people were killed at the scene about 50 miles from the Mexico border and a fifth person died at a hospital in San Antonio, the sheriff said.

The incident started after a Border Patrol agent in Carrizo Springs suspected smuggling when he saw a trio of vehicles pass him on a rural highway, US Customs and Border Protection said. That agent stopped one vehicle and radioed a description of the other two vehicles to other agents, the agency said.

Several people were arrested after another agent stopped the second vehicle, but the third vehicle didn't stop when an agent tried to pull it over, Customs and Border Protection said.

Boyd said a Dimmitt County Sheriff's deputy took over the chase just west of Big Wells, but the vehicle, which was traveling around 100 mph, ran off the road onto the gravel before flipping several times when it tried to get back on the roadway, the sheriff said.

"We've seen this many, many times, in not only this county but other counties along the border," Boyd said. "It's a problem. ... This is, I think, a perfect example of why our borders need to be secure."

I hate all the bullshit terms like "undocumented immigrants". Let's call bank robbers "assertive financial rearrangement specialists" and rapists "involuntary sexual explorers" while we're at it. You don't get to pick and choose which crimes are valid. Almost all of them are done with the intention of the person improving their life in some way. Illegals crossing the border take something away too, it's just less direct and people empathize with them more. That doesn't change the facts.

A 2017 report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a non-profit group that advocates limiting both legal and illegal immigration, "report estimates the annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be about $116 billion; nearly $31 billion at the federal level and $86 billion at the state and local level."

So let me get this straight:

A high-speed car chase, which happen all the time, over many different issues, are somehow an example of why the borders need to be protected.

Uhhhh

Uhhhh

In this case, it was an organized smuggling event where three SUVs were carrying illegal immigrants. Two pulled over and one decided to run.

If the borders were protected, there would be less opportunity for the crime of smuggling people and thus less occurrences of these often deadly chases.

Don't come here illegally.

Yeah that's why OJ wasn't able to lead police on a high-speed car chase, because society made murder illegal.

Wait.

Also, don't trust human traffickers, they only have money on their mind.

I understand what you're saying, and I'm sure there will still be instances such as these, but I still feel if our borders were extremely secure (sort of like how Israel's border is.. basically no one gets through)---we'd have less incidences.
