Promises of riches, leniency lure teens into smuggling drugs across border. Then reality sets in.
July 15, 2018
They made a lot of promises at first.
They promised to pay the 16-year-old $1,000 for his first drug smuggling trip across the border. It was the kind of money that could help the teen’s single mom in Tijuana.
They promised that he wouldn’t get caught. As a student who crosses the border daily to go to high school in the U.S., he was virtually invisible.
They promised they would protect him if he got into trouble.
