Fort Bliss Soldiers Looking At Up To 10 Years In Prison For Smuggling Illegals

Two Army soldiers from Fort Bliss are staring down a prison sentence of 10 years for trying to smuggle illegals across the U.S. border.

The soldiers, 19-year-old Marco Antonio Nava Jr. and 25-year-old Joseph Edmond Cleveland, were willing to risk it all for just $1,500 and ended up pleading guilty Tuesday to human smuggling, The Associated Press reports.

They could also face a fine of up to $250,000 and three years of probation.

Ditto for that other story on Fort Bliss, I hope these soldiers are not getting involved with the wrong people, shady elements.  Potentially, sounds like a crackdown is needed.

El Paso and San Diego are both among the safest cities in the US; but there certainly is a lot of riffraff at the border.
