Following a brief car chase, a vehicle packed with 14 undocumented immigrants crashed on Sunday after the driver lost control and ran off the road, causing the van to flip over several times. During the crash, the van’s passengers were ejected from the vehicle, and five of them were killed.
The chase started when an immigration agent stationed about 50 miles from the Mexican border saw three reportedly suspicious-looking vans drive past. After stopping one vehicle and making several arrests, the agent radioed the descriptions of the two other vehicles to his colleagues. The second vehicle was also stopped, and arrests were made.
But when police tried to pull over the third vehicle, instead of stopping, the driver took off, according to CNN. A Dimmit County Sheriff was called in to take over the chase just west of Big Wells, Texas, shortly before the fatal accident. When the van crashed, it was traveling at more than 100 miles per hour.
Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said “we’ve seen this many, many times, not only in this county but in other counties along the border.” He added that accidents like this are “a perfect example” of why the US should build a wall along its southern border.
“I think we need a wall, in my opinion,” he said, voicing support for President Donald Trump’s proposal to construct a border wall with Mexico.
Boyd added: “If it can be built, I think it needs to be built. But along with that, there needs to be cameras. There needs to be sensors.”
When asked why border patrol agents had singled out the van, Boyd said “good police work” was the reason they pulled it over, according to News 4 San Antonio. He added that the crash was yet another reason why the south needs a border wall and beefed up security like sensors.

Boyd added that he didn’t know where the immigrants were from, but said that most of the undocumented who travel through that part of Texas are from Mexico or Central America. Boyd added that his deputies are often involved in chases with suspects carrying drugs or undocumented people. He added that the driver of the car, who is believed to be a US citizen, was known to police in the area.
Wow – I didn’t know Mexicans could fly!
Oh the humanity! At least this time illegals weren’t killing Americans with their driving…
More accurately, at least copfuks didn’t kill anyone. 100mph …. just to catch some illegals … what if that SUV plowed into a minivan full of American kids going to a soccer game killing them all? Who is ultimately at fault? The driver hauling the illegals, or the copfuks who don’t give a fuck about YOUR safety? Or, both, equally?
Very high speed chases puts EVERYONE, especially innocent drivers, at risk and, should be stopped.
They love that shit on the teevee news here in the LA market. You’ll be watching the late news waiting for the weather bimbo, then PRESTO it’s a car chase with live Eye 5 chopper coverage and the rest of the news/weather/sports can fuck off!
5 of 14. I guess it will have to do.
We’re talking about human beings you heartless cocksucker.
Not true Stucky. We are talking about mexicans with no respect for the law. That is something entirely different from human beings, you heartless cocksucker.
You wish death for ALL lawbreakers? What about jay walking?
You wish death to those who commit non violent crimes?
Tell me about your Death Wishes. I’m dying to read your logic.
Enlighten us, oh Wise and Wonderful Sucker of Cocks and Eater of Hearts!
Dude, nobody wishes death to anybody. They didn’t need to come to the us illegally. They didn’t need to run from the cops. They didn’t need to run off the road. Nobody forced them to do any of those things. The other two cars didn’t do any of those things. They chose their fate. They were the ones who killed themselves.
Whoever you are, your shtick is getting old. Calling people heartless cocksuckers isn’t an argument, and TBP is a safe space for heartless cocksuckers anyway.
“Whoever you are, your shtick is getting old. Calling people heartless cocksuckers isn’t an argument, …” ——– Neuday
I Am that I Am … Lord Stuchemmeister …. master of my domain …. you ignorant cocksucking douchbag.
They did it to themselves. Nobody made them speed 100 miles an hour. Nobody made them violate our border, either. If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
If we had stopped them prior to breaking our frontier, they would still be alive. Build the wall. Then, build minefields and guard towers. And free-fire zones. And roving patrols. And lots of triple strand. And thermal imagers and night vision. Tethered aerostats. Drones. Strykers. SR71s and satellites prepared to launch Rods from God. I want it all and I want it now.
Not to worry, Mexico will send replacements!
Protecting you to death!

That will separate kids from their parents.
Oh Hell no….now the USA will have to pay for 9 fuckers healthcare and give them a multi-million dollar pay-out because some fucker from a SPLC like law firm will represent them. Damn…talk about winning the lottery .
This is such good news.
5 Mexi-Rats out of 14 zotzed!
Makes me all warm thinking about it.
Those not crushed into goo well be deported as well.
Let them live to tell the tale.
And if they get caught coming back, prosecute them for illegal entry and jail them.
