Smugglers mix illegal immigrants, meth in latest border bust
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Friday, August 2, 2019
Homeland Security agents nabbed a group of illegal immigrants in remote Arizona this week and found the guide was carrying a large supply of methamphetamine, in what authorities described as a growing — and worrying — trend.
While marijuana is regularly snuck across the border on foot, hard narcotics have traditionally been smuggled through the ports of entry, usually concealed in cars or even strapped, in small amounts, to a pedestrian’s body.
But authorities said Wednesday’s attempt was the second meth-carrying backpacker caught in southeastern Arizona last month.
