High-Speed Chase of Illegals From China

(Corpus Christi, Texas) A truck packed with illegals from China led Sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol agents on a high-speed chase across southwestern Nueces County Friday morning. After about a hour, the truck was ditched and the driver bailed. According to Nueces County Sheriff Capt. Vidal J. De La Cerda, the illegals just gave up. No numbers were indicated.

From KRISTV.com:

"They appear to be from China. They hardly speak any English at all. We did find the majority of them have about $50.00 on them ... a little food, a little water, so apparently they were trying to make it up north somewhere." Officials said in the last six months or so they have seen quite a few illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico and they say that is a big concern.

"That raises an alarm to us in law enforcement where we have to be more careful as to what kind of individual we're going to pull over. We don't know if these guys were terrorists, if they had weapons on them or if the were just trying to find a job in the country. It could go either way, so it's getting a little dangerous," Capt. Cerda said.

Authorities are still searching for the driver.
