Dope Smuggling 101

Not Illegal Aliens

These guys may have crossed illegally, but for most this is probably a round trip. I am not aware of any alien smugglers that would outfit their charges in camouflage outfits. It is common practice to walk loads of drugs across the border. The “mules” are paid 100 bucks or so to make the crossing. The “camos” make sense for them.

If you take the time to watch the video keep an eye out for the guy with the black load bearing vest, white shirt and beard standing with the horses (about three minutes into the video). It appears that he is wearing a Mexican Police badge on his belt. The image is not very clear. It is taken from a distance. The general shape seems to be consistent with the badge pictured below.

It is a safe bet that the guys with the rifles are supervising the operation. A wall is all well and good. Better would be to confront these guys. It looks like the area would be ideal for an ambush. How do you think the gunslingers would respond to “Manos Arriba”? It wouldn’t be much of a firefight. 

This video is a compilation of various incidents. There are a couple of scenes where the “mules” are carrying square packs bound to pack racks. The size and shape is consistent with the standard 10 kilo (about 25 pounds) bundle of marijuana. Lord knows I have carried enough of those to recognize the shape when I see it. 

Just another example of illegals doing a job most Americans wouldn’t do. Bet you don’t see this on the nightly news.
