32 Illegal Aliens Arrested in Batesville, Arkansas

Debbie Pelley, Arkansas Watch: I am sure these are just hardworking people wanting to make a living for their family. Following are excerpt from two articles: Fox News and THV News:

• "Sixty-five suspected drug dealers are off Central Arkansas streets tonight. Half of them were in the country illegally. Thursday, federal drug agents announced a major meth lab bust out of Batesville. It took almost three years to catch the suspected ring leaders and their counterparts...
• "32 of the 52 suspects arrested are illegal immigrants."
• "This is the largest seizure I've ever seen," says William Bryant with the DEA.
• "To put into perspective how major this is. The average street rate for one gram of meth ice is about $244. In this bust, agents seized over 100 pounds of meth ice. That's equal to 11 million dollars in drug money."
