Drug smugglers shift to human cargo on Texas border- Alan Niño (2nd Period)

Drug Cartels are starting to have a profit of 100% or greater! By switching over to human trafficking they can make a huge profit with hardly any consequences to them. Homeland security has already arrested 360 immigrants, most of the immigrants found in south Texas, which has lost the cartel about 800,000 dollars. Except that because it is on humans they just get deported and often try again. Plus the cartels also have a huge advantage in this situation due to the huge migration of immigrants, from Mexico, to America in the past couple of months. It infuriates me to see how people can make so much profit off of people. This is an injustice and needs to be stopped. Using other people, who don't completely know the situation, for your own gain has been done since the done of time (with slaves) and this is just another example that needs to be stopped. There has to be a consequence and these immigrants need there lives back.

  2. The whole illegal immigration problem in this country in general seems to be a never ending vicious cycle. Do we start with the illegals, the coyotes helping these people cross the border, or the government for not taking care of their people to the point that all of them want to come over here? This is a very delicate topic that requires the utmost consideration and care, and as it seems so far, there is no one way or "easy fix" to this what seems to be an epidemic of illegals coming into our country, one way or another.

  3. This shift of cartels doing this have been going for a long time. The thing that has changes is the amount of money. The cartels just make you pay so you can cross there "territory". If you dont they will kill you. The artels just find ways of making money any way possible.
