Six illegal immigrants arrested at Qualcomm

San Diego:

Six undocumented Mexican immigrants were arrested today by U.S. Border Patrol agents at Qualcomm Stadium, after a report that they were stealing food and water meant for evacuees, according to spokesman Damon Foreman.

San Diego police responded to a call about alleged theft from the evacuation center and encountered six people in a van who didn't speak English and didn't have California driver's licenses, Foreman said. The police officers called the Border Patrol, who arrived at the stadium and made the arrests, he said. Foreman said the immigrants admitted they were Mexican citizens and that they were stealing.

Border Patrol agents are not looking for illegal immigrants at the center but will continue responding to police calls for assistance.

"We are not in any means at Qualcomm for enforcement capacity," he said. "We are not there to take advantage of a situation."

3. When white people do it it's called finding food/shelter...

when black people do it it's called looting, and when immigrants do it it's called stealing?

Is that right?

4. loading up a vehicle with cots and supplies

leaving, and then coming back for more? Yes, I'd call that stealing. Regardless of race.

5. liable to be shot for that around here, stealing

actually, if the truth was known. I might add at shooting distance its hard to tell the color of the skin so I doubt that would have anything to do with it, around here

6. Apparently some non-displaced residents showed up to 'enjoy' the freebies.

CNN did a short piece on a evacuee center where so many people showed up that it was stretching the resources. The 'authorities' went through announcing that the center was for "EVACUEES ONLY" and more than half of the people there, not being evacuees, beat a hasty retreat. The on-location reporter called them "enjoyers" ... people enjoying the hand-outs and "party time" (like a tail-gating party) atmosphere. If this were NOLA, they'd be calling them thieves, frauds, or worse. It seems there's a HUGE disconnect in the media. Black and poor? Those are frauds. White and affluent? Mere "enjoyers."
