San Diego-AP -- An S-U-V trying to sneak 23 illegal immigrants into California early today was fired upon. Eight people were wounded.
Authorities say it happened in a remote desert wash in northern Mexico, with more gunfire just over the border in the U-S.
All of those wounded were men, with three still hospitalized with gunshot wounds. They're in stable condition. There were also six women and a child in the S-U-V.
Authorities on both sides of the border are looking into the incident. The immigrants say a military-type vehicle came upon them and gave chase. There's one report it may have been a Mexican Army patrol.
The 23 illegal immigrants include one from Ecuador, five from Mexico and 17 from El Salvador.
Never ask why but only the value of.

Don't know what was transpiring, but looked impressive. If it was a show of force they certainly made their point, only hope they had the authority to go on the offensive, if necessary, and not a tactical defensive posture like we experienced in Vietnam
