Far from border, but not from issue. Arrest of 20 immigrants highlights local pipeline in Chicago, Illinois
Tagged: border, Mexico“As the debate over illegal immigration plays out in Washington and along the U.S.-Mexico border, a chance encounter on the North-South Tollway this week offered a glimpse into the daily flow of illegal immigrants into Illinois and the risks they face.
It began when a federal immigration agent Tuesday noticed a pickup truck with Arizona plates and a cap with blacked-out windows, sagging under the weight of its load.
The agent followed the truck to a Tri-State Tollway oasis. There he discovered 20 illegal immigrants–including a 4-year-old boy–who had been riding for three days, emerging only for periodic bathroom breaks, a little water and a daily fast-food burger, officials said.”
