The politicans and news media continually fixate on all that is wrong with America. Ever wonder why then that people would risk their lives trying to sneak into our country?

Officials: Woman Found In Car Engine At Border

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers said they arrested a man for allegedly trying to smuggle a woman into the country by hiding her inside a car's engine compartment.

Officials said the discovery was made last Friday afternoon during a routine border security inspection at the downtown Calexico port of entry.

Customs officers said the driver, a 27-year-old resident of Mexicali, was stopped driving a beige, 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis.

Upon questioning, officers said the man appeared nervous. He was referred to undergo a secondary inspection. That's when CBP officers said they discovered what appeared to be a piece of wood under the front bumper.

Officers removed the grill and said they found a Chinese woman lying in a non-factory compartment of the engine. She was freed and transported to a local medical facility.

The driver was charged with alien smuggling and transported to the Imperial County Jail. The woman is now being held by CBP as a material witness for the prosecution.

Officials said this is the second failed attempt in a week of someone allegedly trying to smuggle Chinese migrants inside an engine compartment.

Last Thursday, CBP officers at the downtown port discovered two Chinese men hidden within the engine of a Chevrolet pickup truck. The driver, a 28-year-old Mexican male from Brawley, was arrested.

I get a kick out of the reporter's use of the word, "allegedly." What, the driver didn't know there was a woman hidden between the grill and engine of his car? Like she sealed herself in there knowing that this poor dope was going to cross the border? :)
