Congressman’s son caught smuggling immigrants
The son of a U.S. Congressman was arrested in Willcox Sunday, charged with human smuggling. According to court documents John F. Boyd, son of Democratic Florida Congressman Allen Boyd, attempted to drive through a Border Patrol checkpoint in Willcox on Sunday with five illegal immigrants, including a 6-year-old girl.
In a statement sent Tuesday, Congressman Allen Boyd said, “On September 14, 2008, my 30-year-old son, John Boyd, was arrested in Arizona, and at a preliminary hearing yesterday, he was charged with alien smuggling.”
You can guaran-damn-tee, if there was an “R” behind the Congressman’s name, this would have been shouted all over the MSM. But since the guy is a Dem, crickets!
“This is a family matter that my family and I will be dealing with privately. John is a grown man and must face the consequences for his actions, but he has the love and support of his family,” says the elder Boyd.
No, sorry. This is a NATIONAL matter. It’s people like your son who turning this nation into a third world country! The security of our country comes before your son, or you, or Congress!
According to court documents the illegal immigrants said they were to pay Boyd $3,000 each to be smuggled into the United States and transported to their final destination.
Did the six year old have to pay full price? Or did the child get a discount? My disgust for people like Boyd…..I can’t even express!
Court documents also state that the vehicle contained, “two plastic bags that contained several rocks of crystal methamphetamine, four unopened syringes, a spoon with white residue and burn marks on the bottom, and three knives. A further search of the vehicle revealed a Beretta 22LR pistol loaded with eight rounds of ammunition and a spare magazine loaded with eight rounds of ammunition in a suitcase in the bed of the truck.”
To support his drug habit, he not only puts a child in danger, he also puts his country at risk? No words!
