Today, police in Coral Gables, Florida, stopped a U-haul and found it full of illegal Chinese migrants. That's a problem.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell Local 10 News that the migrants were smuggled in by boat near the Snapper Creek Bridge and put in the van and a small Toyota.
At least one person called police, who stopped them on South Le Jeune Road near Aurelia Avenue.
Authorities said most of the more than 20 migrants are Chinese. Others are from Ecuador, Brazil and Cuba.
The migrants were put in a Coral Gables trolley to be treated and assessed by officers, including agents with U.S. Border Patrol.
This is what Republicans mean when they say every state is a border state.

She alongside @Daniel_PerezFL and @Sen_Albritton protested @GovRonDeSantis call for a special session to support @realDonaldTrump’s illegal immigration agenda. https://t.co/89nAtKGOcP
It should be no surprise illegal migrants are congregating in this district. Their Representatives opposed Governor DeSantis this week when he enacted tough new immigration policy to support incoming President Trump's initiatives.

One of these days they will learn.
We can — and we must — end this charade by making illegal immigration illegal again… https://t.co/BFEtQmoy1O

Every illegal immigrant is a criminal when they enter the country. Americans don't have to wait for them to commit a crime. They have already committed a crime.
These people should immediately get in touch with their state representative and demand action on immigration.

This is FL District 113. @vickiforflorida https://t.co/IamMMikKhy
It's too bad their representatives oppose the good policies the Governor has set forth.
FL legislator Lopez blocked committee members from discussing illegal aliens at yesterday's special session, ironic given today's event in her district where Coral Gables police stopped a U-Haul van with suspected Chinese illegal aliens who were smuggling. She silenced talk on… https://t.co/naCUMBlFWY

Fun fact: this is @vickillopez ‘s district, the same lawmaker who tried to shut down discussion of illegal immigration during a Wednesday subcommittee meetinghttps://t.co/yXZqpgg7GO https://t.co/u7gmK4s66u

The new bill proposed for special session would allow law enforcement to hold them without bail to await deportation.

Illegal immigrants have a habit of not showing up to hearings and disappearing into the interior of the US. https://t.co/kiobYF70zW
This needs to happen immediately for the safety of the people of Florida.
