ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA CONTINUE TO COME AND GO FROM A FEDERAL HOLDING FACILITY IN ARTESIA. MAYOR PHILLIP BURCH TELLS 770 KKOB THE SYSTEM HAS WORKED WELL…BUT HE QUESTIONS USING THE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER TO TEMPORARILY HOUSE THE IMMIGRANTS. HE SAYS THE CENTER WAS NOT INTENDED TO HOUSE IMMIGRANTS. IT'S MEANT TO TRAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT.
BURCH SAYS WHEN THE IMMIGRANTS ARE DEPORTED, THEY'RE BUSED TO ROSWELL…AND THEN FLOWN BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES.
