Illegal immigrants captured after swimming ashore in California

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) - Ten illegal immigrants from China were captured Thursday after they swam ashore naked using life vests and a makeshift raft, police said.
An off-duty lifeguard spotted the men coming ashore about 3:30 a.m. and called authorities.
The men in their 20s and 30s appeared to be in good physical condition. They told police they had come from China, taking two boats and spending as much as a month at sea before they were dropped off close to shore.
Some of the immigrants wore life vests, one had a ship's flotation ring, and others were holding ropes attached to a small foam raft, Newport Beach police Sgt. Steve Shulman said.
After reaching the beach, they got dressed in clothes they had kept in plastic bags. They also had cigarettes, crackers and drinks.
Some wore baseball caps and tennis shoes while others had brought full suits and ties.
One man was detained at the scene but the others scattered, forcing police and deputies to conduct an hours-long search with the aid of a helicopter. The other men were captured by 8 a.m. as far as five miles from the beach.
Newport Beach is a well-to-do enclave about 45 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. |

I'm unsure what the point is of this posting being made here. And god has nothing at all to do with the fact that the US monopolizes world resources, fixes so-called "free trade" policies to imporverish other nations, and generally supports policies that insure that economic need drives the international criminal networks that profit from the desires of poor peopls in other nations to come to a place so far from home where they will be exploited by being illiegal workers who cannot organize for fear of deportation. |
