American women arrested at California immigration checkpoint for attempting to smuggle children: 'Unbearable'

Two unidentified American women were arrested for alien smuggling at a California immigration checkpoint after Border Patrol agents found two Mexican girls, whom they did not know, in their car.

Authorities reported one woman was driving while the other was in the front passenger seat, and two little girls, ages 10 and 12, were asleep in the back. The identities of the adults were not released.

The woman driving initially told agents they were traveling to California from Arizona, but later told authorities they had come to the U.S. from Mexico through the San Luis Port of Entry.
