A group of “armed bandits” near the U.S. southern border attempted to rob migrants crossing illegally, according to US Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens.

Owens posted images of a group of migrants in Chula Vista, California, attempting to cross the border on Sunday, only to encounter armed robbers.

"USBP surveillance technology near Chula Vista, CA captured these images of armed bandits robbing several groups as they attempted to enter the country illegally," Owens said in the post. "Yet another example of the dangers these criminals & smugglers pose to the public, the migrants, and our agents."

ABC News has reached out to Border Patrol about the incident.

Migrant encounters in the San Diego area, which encompasses Chula Vista, were down in January from November and December of 2023, according to Customs and Border Protection data.

Last week, the San Diego sector made over 7,500 apprehensions of migrants from 75 countries, according to Chief Patrol Agent Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel.

President Joe Biden is headed to the border on Thursday, according to a White House official. He is going to Brownsville, Texas.

This is generally what happens when the government creates a black or gray market through suppression of an economic good with extremely high demand. Criminals and bad actors fill in the void, whether it be drugs, labor, or migration. If you want less bad actors, the answer is to better regulate the market...aka increasing legal immigration levels to disincentive illegal immigration.

Not all people are bad or good. Like Batman and Bane. They're almost the same, but life made they chose a side.

We should be robbing them, then deporting them.

If it’s happening in the USA, then something should be done to bring the bandits to justice.

If it’s happening in Mexico, then it’s none of the USA’s business.

Terrible.

Toss the criminals in jail and give the migrants a work permit and housing.

Players are gunna play. No stone remains unturned.

I mean...robbery is pretty bad. I won't really excuse that lol. Human trafficking, also not great. But it's just unavoidable if people want to migrate atm.

It makes sense similar to how you can rob a drug dealer they cant go to the police because then they incriminate themselves. It has the plus of the crime without the minus of law enforcement.

Are you OK, Sherbro? You seem to be spazzing out over lord knows what.

It is possible to die but your not in danger of getting police called on you. Dealers are usually pragmatic people they are not gonna start a shoot out over a weeks take. Unless they stash all their money where they deal in which case it becomes way more likely but usually they will take the hit.

Give them a solid monthly stipend as well.

Let them know true American values.

shoot out?

no, they send a hot chick to you, then they come in the door and shoot you

you clearly have never played on the dark side

 

[USA!USA!]

Migrants shouldn't be harmed. Whether you think they should be here or not that is not even the point. They are just people trying to live a better life (quite illegally I'd agree) - but they should not be robbed. Fuck the people doing this.

 

[lifelessheap]

Can you imagine what the rapists, serial killers and robbers think of this?! Millions of people who can't be accounted for just waiting for your misdeeds. Yikes. How many are murdered, kidnapped and victimized that we will never know about?

75 countries? Including the big scary Russians and tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers with orders to gain arms and wait for orders? What the fuck Biden?

I suggest you stay strapped, shit is getting weird. Have a month of water at least. And shit loads of shelf stable food.

 

[Kassitus]

I wonder if there is a certain zone where neither America nor Mexico have jurisdiction and its just no man's land rob as ye may.

Easy money, alright alright alright
