Woman Caught Crawling into U.S.



(El Paso, Texas) A 43-year-old Mexican woman, Herlinda Coronado Magallanes, was arrested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers as she was crawling on the Stanton Street Bridge toward downtown El Paso. She was trying to avoid port of entry inspection.

When she was spotted, Magallanes tried to flee back into Mexico, Customs and Border Protection officers said.

Magallanes, who had previously been removed from the United States, was arrested on suspicion of illegal entry and is being held without bond at the El Paso County Jail, KVIA said.

“The motorist who alerted CBP should be commended,” said Hector Mancha, CBP’s El Paso port director said.

Kudos to the "motorist."

It's notable that concurrent with occupy-various-cities anti-capitalism protests and complaints of high unemployment and out-of-control government spending, foreign nationals remain undeterred from crawling like a snake to get into the U.S.
