State Rep. John Roth today called for stricter laws to protect Michigan residents from the ongoing crisis at the US-Mexico border. Just last week, 19 illegal immigrants were detained after being found on an unmarked bus outside Traverse City. Those individuals were transported to the Sault Ste. Marie Border Patrol Station and are being processed for deportation.
“Grand Traverse County is 1,667 miles and over a 25-hour drive from the US-Mexico border, yet the situation down there is so out of control that our local police are having to deal with busloads of illegal immigrants in our community,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “The migrants were only apprehended because the bus driver was swerving erratically all over the road. Law enforcement conducted a regular traffic stop and discovered the whole mess. Honestly, the driver could’ve killed someone if a deputy hadn’t been there. We are truly blessed with quality local police that handle all situations, even extremely unordinary ones, with poise and effectiveness.”
Only the driver presented deputies with a Mexican Voter ID card, no one else could provide any substantive identification. The driver was cited for an illegal lane change, but only after local law enforcement contacted Homeland Security and later U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
