IMPERIAL BEACH – Add personal watercraft to the ways illegal immigrants are trying to cross the border, the U.S. Border Patrol says.

About 9:20 p.m. Saturday, agents were patrolling the shoreline near the U.S.-Mexico border when they spotted a personal watercraft heading north. They later found it abandoned near Seacoast Drive.

Agents searched the area and found two illegal immigrants hiding nearby. The watercraft was seized and the men are expected to be deported to Mexico.
