Yesterday (September 16, 2009) at about 2:30 AM a boat was found abandoned near Ponto, according to a story on San Diego 6.
Authorities combing the coastline for whoever abandoned a boat in Carlsbad early Wednesday intercepted a boat offshore carrying 23 suspected illegal immigrants, according to a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman. . . The boat was spotted by a helicopter crew at around 4:00 am (1100 GMT) south of Carlsbad.
Ponto has been a hotbed for illegal immigration action all summer. On July 17, 2009 20 illegals were arrested (and the boat got away). On August 21, 2009 23 illegals were arrested (and the boat got away) This time the people got away, but they got the boat. And they caught another 23 and another boat.
Appears the authorities are getting a little better at this game. Practice makes perfect.
