Here's an interesting border incident. This happened in Harlingen, Texas not far from Brownsville and the, you guessed it, Mexican border.
A man linked to an armed robbery in Philadelphia who was attempting to flee to Mexico was taken into custody by U.S. Border Patrol agents near the bus station Thursday morning.
Chuck Roberson, assistant chief of the Border Patrol’s McAllen Sector, said that agents were conducting routine checks at the bus station in the 200-block of East Monroe Avenue when they approached two men waiting for a Mexico-bound bus. As agents questioned the men, the younger man ran off, Roberson said.
The men, whose names were not released, are believed to be a father and his 20-year-old son from Philadelphia. The men are Palestinian resident immigrants legally living in Philadelphia, Roberson said.
Palestinians, isn't that interesting. These guys sure came a long way to do work that Americans won't; but, wait, it gets better.
“The agent lost the suspect in a neighborhood in Harlingen,” Cervantes said. “At approximately noon, agents and Harlingen police officers observed the suspect on east Morgan Street, near the bus station. He was arrested and taken to the station to determine his nationality.”
Roberson said the father would be released, but FBI spokesman Rene Salinas said the son is wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Philadelphia and said the man would likely be arraigned in federal court today.
Salinas said it was highly unlikely that the pair were involved in any terrorist activity, but said the incident is still under investigation.
Why is the father going to be released if we haven't determined for certain if there is any terrorist activity? Did the father know about the armed robbery? If so, then he would be involved in the son's escape attempt. Are they both following all the requirements of legally registered aliens?
It seems like we're way too unconcerned with what aliens, both legal and illegal, are doing in our country.
