By Deport them or send them to Marine Corp Recruit Depot San Diego?
Border Patrol agents caught 13 illegal immigrants wearing U.S. Marine uniforms at a border patrol checkpoint east of San Diego, an agency spokesman said Tuesday.
The immigrants were in a white van that was stopped March 14 along Interstate 8, Border Patrol spokesman Michael Jimenez said. The van had a U.S. government license plate with an altered number, Jimenez said. He did not know where the group obtained the military uniforms.
The immigrants all had Marine-style haircuts and the name tag “Perez” on their camouflage uniforms, U.S. Marine Corps officials told the Los Angeles Times.
The van driver and another man, both U.S. citizens, were arrested on suspicion of alien smuggling, the Border Patrol said. Three of the immigrants were being held in federal custody as witnesses and the others were returned to Mexico, their country of origin, Jimenez said.- Associated Press
Somebody had this well thought out except for the multiple Perezs. This may not be the first time smugglers used this MO.

Maybe they were all related brothers?

13 guys with the same name in a van with fake military plates (as if the border guards wouldn't check), why? They only had one stolen passport amongst them?

If they want to wear those uniforms, make them earn those uniforms. Off to Parris Island…

Charge them with violating the Stolen Valor Act… oh… wait.
It doesn't sound like these boys were caught at a border… but at one of the checkpoints farther into the States.
There might be something a little more to this story.

Isn’t that being a SPY during War-time? Yes, I’m sure it is. Didn’t we shoot NAZIs during WWII. Yes, we did.
I say line them up for the firing squad. That’ll learn um!

Retired GI, #6, THUMBS UP! Or at the very least with the GI haircuts at least they’re ready for prison.
