CALIPATRIA, Calif. – El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents tracked an ultralight aircraft that made a cross-border incursion from Mexico and landed in the United States on Tuesday morning.
At approximately 1:54 a.m., Border Patrol agents on the ground were informed by CBP components of an ultralight aircraft detected flying over the international border from Mexico into U.S. airspace. The aircraft was operating without any lights.
Agents tracked the aircraft from the ground to where it landed near Calipatria. Border Patrol agents arrived at the landing area soon after, but the ultralight aircraft departed and returned to Mexico before it could be stopped.
Agents on the ground encountered two Chinese nationals. Agents suspected they were in the U.S. illegally and that they were dropped off by the ultralight aircraft.
Also arrested at the landing zone was a Mexican national in a waiting vehicle who was suspected of being part of the human smuggling event. The Mexican national was found to be legally present in the U.S. in possession of a Border Crossing Card.
The two Chinese nationals and Mexican national were transported to Calexico Station for further investigation.
Early Sunday morning Border Patrol agents tracked an ultralight aircraft that resulted in the arrest of two and the seizure of more than 125 pounds of methamphetamine.

"Fake news", we don't have a problem at the Mexican boarder. Other national's are not going to Mexico to come into the U.S. ::)
Those people are NUTS that say that! >:(
Some well placed anti-aircraft batteries thowing up some flak would cure that. Drastic but it would work. Something sure as hell needs to be done down there!

We have a small place at Lake Tahoe. At the corner 7-11 on any morning there will be 20-50 guys waiting for local contractors to pick them up for under the table day work. How can a legal construction worker compete with that. Republicans want the cheap labor and Democrats want the votes it will never be fixed until there are no more jobs and no more taxpayers to support it all. It's coming your way.

FYI: When I worked for the border patrol we would arrest folks from over 100 different countries annually that crossed the border illegally. Yes the majority were from Mexico and South America but we arrested a lot of Europeans also...don't hear complaints about that.
