BORDER NEWS
In a most unusual story that shows the lengths to which people will go to enter the US, officials discovered a man hidden in the wheel well of an Air France plane when it landed at Los Angles International Airport.  They believe that he stowed away, hiding during the entire trip from French Polynesia.  After he was discovered he was taken to the UCLA Medical Center and treated for severe hypothermia.  Officials are not sure if he made the entire trip concealed in the wheel well or whether he hid inside of the plane and emerged after it landed.
