79 Illegal Aliens Found Inside Horse Trailer in Phoenix

Nearly 80 illegal immigrants, including women and children, were found crammed in a large horse trailer in downtown Phoenix on Tuesday....

The people inside told police they had been traveling for about two days and had had little to eat or drink during that time.

The temperatures in the Phoenix area have topped 100 degrees over the last couple of days. The trailer had no air conditioning.


The group included 68 men and women and 11 children, including a 4-month-old baby. None required hospitalization.

A Phoenix police officer found the immigrants after spotting the trailer in an alley and seeing a man running away from the scene. He found the people packed inside....

...on the local news tonight they are reporting that the illegals stated that they had paid $2,000 per person...

...do the math...
