In Arizona, illegal aliens plea to sheriff is “Send us home to Mexico”

On a recent afternoon, four illegal immigrants asked the Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for a ride back home to Mexico, say department officials.

The four were located in the Aguila area west of Phoenix and were seeking work. They admitted they were in the country illegally and after being unable to find work, they wanted a return ride to Mexico.

The illegal aliens were processed by the county sheriff’s office human smuggling unit and then they were turned over to ICE. ICE finally granted their request and sent them home to Mexico.

The county sheriff’s office says that in the past, Aguila area residents have sought the department's help because of "problems related to illegal immigration."
