Editor's Note:
Sometimes it is hard for non-southern-border residents to picture just how bad the situation is there with human and drug smuggling. As John Daniel Davidson describes, the numbers are staggering. Now the Mexican drug cartels, never known for their subtlety, are advertising on TikTok for U.S. teenagers to pick up an easy $3,500 using Mom and Dad's SUV to sneak in illegal immigrants. These passengers are not families and unaccompanied children who typically turn themselves in to Border Patrol officers. Our teenagers are being hired to taxi young, single men who desperately want to escape detection. The potential consequences are terrifying. Reprinted with permission. Pat Daugherty, Ed.D.
