An illegal immigrant arrested on multiple criminal trespassing charges in a Texas border county walked out of jail and disappeared after someone paid his $25,000 bail in cash.

The incident indicates that some foreign nationals crossing into Texas unlawfully have no intention of seeking asylum and are often involved in illicit business, said Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith.
