The son of U.S. Rep. Allen Boyd, a Panhandle Democrat, is facing federal charges of smuggling illegal immigrants after being stopped by Border Patrol agents in Arizona.

John F. Boyd, 30, admitted picking up the passengers in the desert, authorities said. He was stopped Sunday at a border checkpoint near Willcox and a search dog indicated people might be hiding in the bed of the white Ford pickup he was driving.

Agents found two people under a piece of plywood, according to a federal complaint, and two more adults lying on the floorboard behind the front seat. A 6-year-old girl was in the passenger seat.

Methamphetamine and a loaded Beretta pistol were found, according to the complaint. It did not indicate who the items belonged to and no drug or weapons charges have been filed against Boyd. He has a preliminary hearing this morning in Tucson.

“This is an ongoing investigation,” said Sandy Raynor, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona.

Boyd acknowledged he knew the group had entered the United States illegally, the complaint stated.

The Dem-Cong again are proven to put America dead last in their long list of priorities. Boyd’s son is an armed meth-head who smuggles illegals into the country but the congressman proudly states that as leader of the “Blue Dog Coalition” he and his fellow Blue Dogs are “…working to bring a common sense, conservative, and compassionate approach to many of the tough issues that are facing our country, including balancing the budget, paying down the national debt, and ensuring Social Security and Medicare are there for current and future beneficiaries.”

Maybe Rep. Boyd should be using a common sense, conservative and compassionate approach to keeping his son from endangering 6-year-old girls by driving them around with meth and a loaded gun.
